Are you in need of a new furnace but don’t know where to start? Getting a new furnace can be a hard decision. Air Supply Heating & Air Conditioning wants to help you know the difference between single-stage and two-stage furnaces. So, you can make the right choice for your furnace and home when looking for a new one.

Is a Single-Stage Furnace Good?

A single-stage furnace is a single-powered mode furnace. It runs on full power when it is on. It is a very basic type of furnace which means it is the less expensive type also. The problem with a single-stage furnace is that when it runs on full power it will heat all the rooms in your house at once. But if your room is large or you have a multi-story home it may not heat every room in your home to the temperature you set. If the temperature by your thermostat is the temperature that you set your thermostat, then your furnace will turn off leaving the other rooms colder and not to the temperature. Many people will turn up the temperature of their furnace so the other rooms will get warmer. The problem with that is that it also increases your power bill.

Why Go with a Single-Stage Furnace?

As we posted above single-stage furnace is cheaper. So if you plan on moving anytime soon, but still need a new furnace, then this may be the furnace you want to go with because it will save you some money. It is also great for single-story homes or smaller homes because it can give you the heat that you need throughout your home.

Is a Two-Stage Furnace Worth It?

The two-stage furnace runs a little differently, it has two different power levels. The power levels are high and low. When it gets really cold outside the furnace can use its high power to help heat your home. The great thing about a two-stage furnace is that it is more energy efficient. The low power can help with this because when it runs it conserves energy and helps with the uneven temperatures in your home. Even though they can be more energy efficient, they can be more expensive. They can cost several hundred dollars more than a single-stage furnace.

Do I Really Need a 2 Stage Furnace?

If you have a multi-story home and plan on staying in your home for many years then going with a two-stage furnace would be a smart choice. Yes, it may be more expensive, but in the long run, it will save you money and help you have a warm home.
