When you need a new furnace there are a few factors you need to consider before purchasing one. It’s not quite as simple as shopping online and finding the cheapest one or one with the coolest features. Air Supply Heating & Air Conditioning knows the most important things you need to consider before you purchase a new furnace.
What is the Heated Area of House?
Homes come in all different shapes and sizes. You need to consider the area you wish to heat. Is your home one that has a lot of long and narrow hallways? If this is the case then it needs more air blown through the house to keep it warm. While an open floor plan needs less air to make it warm. Also, a two-story house typically has higher insulation levels which require less work from your furnace to maintain temperature.
Climate for Your House
Your location helps determine the number of BTU’s ([British thermal unit) which is the heat energy measurement that is required to heat your space. Air Supply has extensive experience servicing heating units in Las Vegas and can advise you as to what works best for the climate here as well as your home needs.
Number of Windows & Ceiling Height
The Number of windows can affect the amount of heat your home needs. Typically a home with more windows loses heat faster. You will need a more efficient furnace to help keep up with the loss of heat you are losing because of the windows. If you have a home that has high ceilings, this will require the HVAC to work harder to maintain a comfortable temperature. Both windows and high ceilings make it harder to keep the house warm. When you have these in your home you will want to take that into consideration when deciding on a furnace for your home.
Most Comfortable Indoor Temperature
When you are looking for a new furnace you might not be thinking about your household. But this is definitely something to think about. A crowded room generates more heat, because of the body heat. Larger households need fewer BTUs than someone living by themselves or just with one other person. You will want to consider if there is an Infant and an elderly person in your home. They will need a higher temperature than adults who exercise a lot and have a higher metabolism. This is a great thing to consider when trying to find the correct furnace size.
