American Standard Furnace Offers You Oil And Gas Choices
There are a couple of options when it comes to purchasing a furnace for your home. You can purchase a gas furnace or an oil furnace and both types, as long as they are high efficiency models, will provide you with an energy efficient way to heat your home. If you are considering an American Standard Furnace, you will be happy to know that they offer both types of furnaces depending on the needs of your home.
An American Standard Furnace that uses oil to heat a home controls the oil with a fine mist spray that lights the flame in the heater. You can control the heat coming into your home with a thermostat just as you would with any other heater. The thermostat setting will control the amount of oil that sprays out, which it turn controls the heat.
A gas furnace works in much the same way as an oil furnace; however, a gas furnace is a much cleaner source of energy than oil and with higher oil costs it can be less expensive to use a gas furnace over an oil furnace. Most new homes do not come with oil furnaces because of the fuel that it uses.
When it comes to an American Standard Furnace you will find that their furnaces, both oil and gas come with an energy rating of 80% or higher by the Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE). This means that if your purchase a furnace with an 80% rating, then only 20% of the heat will be lost when the furnace is being use. You can get a furnace with a rating as high as 96.7% from American Standard Furnace. Using an oil or gas furnace to heat your home will save you money on your electric bill. Also, you can attach a humidifier to a furnace to provide the appropriate amount of moisture to the air when your heat is running. This is especially great for dry climates and will help to reduce allergies and keep your skin from drying out as well. Using an American Standard Furnace in your home ensures that you are using a quality furnace and giving yourself a lot of options. Whether you are looking to upgrade an older furnace or you need to replace a broken heating system, you are sure to find a unit that is perfect for your home and your family.
