A new furnace is one of the longest-lived purchases in your home, and the options add up fast. You can choose an 80 percent AFUE unit or a mid-90s condensing model, single-stage, two-stage, or modulating burners, and a standard PSC blower or a variable-speed ECM motor that uses less electricity and evens out temperature swings. Which mix is right depends on your Rockville, MD home, the length of your heating season, and the behavior of your ductwork. That is why Rockville HVAC begins with a load calculation rather than matching the old unit's BTU rating. An oversized furnace short-cycles and overshoots, delivering comfort in bursts while it wears itself out. A properly sized one runs longer, quieter, and at lower cost.
