NEW HVAC FURNACE EFFICIENCY STANDARDS FOR NEW YORK STATE

WHY YOUR NEW FURNACE IN THE BUFFALO / WNY AREA SHOULD EXCEED THE NEW MINIMUM EFFICIENCY STANDARDS

PROPOSED DoE FURNACE EFFICIENCY STANDARDS FOR NY

The Department of Energy (DoE) is currently recommending the following standards for residential & commercial gas-fired HVAC furnaces to be deployed in New York State:

  • Furnaces shall have a MINIMUM Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating of 90% - the minimum AFUE required for ENERGY STAR compliance.
  • Furnaces shall have a MAXIMUM Electrical Power Consumption in "standby mode" and "off mode" of 10 watts.

These proposed standards are expected to be published in April 2016.

PREFERRED FURNACE EFFICIENCY FOR WNY

Anyone who lives in Western New York understands the severe demands that our climate puts on our heating systems and on our budgets. And while nobody would argue that the proposed DoE furnace standards will save consumers money, HVAC experts recognize that higher standards could save us all even more!

In fact, the DoE's own analysis proves that higher efficiency levels nationwide could increase energy savings by 50% compared to the proposed standard, but the department cited concerns about potential impacts on manufacturers to explain its position.

Modern Condensing gas-fired furnaces, with heat exchangers, can easily achieve 90% AFUE or higher. By combining the latest furnace heat exchangers with other currently available HVAC technologies, 95% AFUE is now easily affordable and will return on the extra investment by minimizing your gas bill.

Here's how you can invest in a new HVAC system to really maximize your energy efficiency and $SAVE$ $1000's over the long-term:

Let's be absolutely up-front here. These enhanced HVAC technologies do require a greater initial investment, but the payback in enhanced comfort with reduced energy bills, and the added bonus of improving your personal "environmental footprint", really do make them a wise investment for your future.
