How to Choose a Furnace?
Posted On: March 24, 2021
Is your furnace nearing its end of life? If you answered yes, then it's time to start looking for a new one before it is too late.
When looking into replacing your heating unit, there are a few things to keep in mind when purchasing a furnace. And they are energy efficiency, size, furnace type, i.e., single-stage, two-stage, and modulating, the state of your ductwork, brand name, and, of course, pricing.
These things may seem like a lot to think of and maybe a bit confusing, but at Twintech, we are here to help make the decision-making process a little easier.
Let's start with the furnace's size; you want one that is right for the space you are heating. Larger homes require bigger units, approximately 50,000 to 65,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs), whereas smaller homes don't necessarily need large units to work effectively. They only need about 40,000 to 50,000 BTUs.
Of course, if you're unsure about the size you need, one of our experts will be more than happy to help you choose the right size for your home.
Energy efficiency is also essential as a high efficient furnace will help you save money in the long run.
The type of furnace also matters, single, two-stage and modulating. A single-stage furnace only has one setting, heat, and run at full capacity until the thermostat is off.
A two-stage has two settings, low and high, and you control them by can a two-stage thermostat. They are more energy-efficient than a single-stage furnace because they don't always have to run at full heat.
While modulating furnaces are the most energy-efficient between the three, they are also more costly. The heat from these types of furnaces gradually goes up, and because the ductwork remains warm, there is little heat that is lost.
If you plan to live in your home for many years to come, adding a modulating furnace may be a good investment.
Your ductwork is also essential to any furnace type as you always want to ensure that you are constantly checking for cracks. Cracks or damages to your ductwork mean that heat can escape, which can cause your furnace to work inefficiently.
If you suspect any issues with your ductwork, give Twintech a call, we will have one of our experts come to your home and do any necessary inspections.
The brand of furnace you choose can also be important. At Twintech, we carry the following Amana, Armstrong, Goodman, Keeprite, and Ruud. And if pricing worries you, we can help. We offer financing programs that can help you with any costs.
Our financing program starts at a low price of $36.33 a month, and that's not all. Some of our brands come with a limited, lifetime warranty.

Great sales member named Dave came in told us some amazing items and how they would be priced installed an all. We couldnt believe it! The next day the ac was installed, that day one employee named Greg told us that our furnace was working way to hard and was causing us to use way too much gas. So two days later they came in an installed a new furnace!

They removed and discarded old furnace. Installed new furnace. Installed air intake pipe, that had never been installed by builder, no charge. Replaced loose hose on floor with hard pipe and rerouted it to drain, no charge. Almost 33% cheaper then quote from Enercare, which was the company we dealt with and had insurance with for 8 years. No yearly fee for cleaning/insurance, saves 300 a year. Courteous, professional, fast, and friendly. My wife and I have been recommending them to everyone we know and meet, and will continue to do so. Thanks for everything, Twintech!!!

Finally! An honest company with highly knowledgeable and informative staff. Had a furnace service and found multiply errors in our system from an amateur installer. Very fair price to correct problems and will definitely use again.

During the summer, I previously hired TwinTech to replace my air conditioner when it failed. They did an excellent job so when I decided to proactively replace the furnace I contacted them. The furnace I had was 22 years old and showed signs of internal leakage. It still worked but rather than wait to have it fail in cold weather, I decided to purchase a higher efficiency model before it failed and take advantage of energy efficiency rebates. TwinTech offered very useful advice on the make and model of furnace to choose including high efficiency and variable speed motor. The price was reasonable, TwinTech arrived at the allotted time, installed the new furnace (including some re-routing of exhaust lines since the existing ones were too close to other vents), removed the old furnace, tested the installation and cleaned everything up. Overall, it was a good experience, they did a great job and the new furnace is working well.
