How Do Furnaces Work?
Oil furnaces spray oil in a fine mist and ignite it inside a combustion chamber. The blower moves cool air in and moves it through the heat exchanger. The unit then pushes the warmed air throughout the house using ductwork.
Gas furnaces mix natural gas with air that is ignited in the combustion chamber. Electric furnaces move air over coils that are electrically heated.

FAQs
What are the different types of furnaces?
- Single-stage: A single-stage type has only one stage of operation. It can either be turned on or turned off.
- Two-stage: A two-stage model has two settings — full and half-speed. This is a more efficient way to heat and provides better comfort because it can move the air at a slower pace.
- Variable stage or modulating: A variable-stage or modulating furnace modulates the speed and heat output based on the temperature outside and the desired comfort level. This kind only works as much as you need it, making it the most energy-efficient type.
What is AFUE?
AFUE, or Annualized Fuel Utilization Efficiency, is a measure of furnace-heating efficiency. The higher the AFUE, the more efficient the furnace.
What size furnace do I need?
We can calculate the correct size furnace for your home. The number of BTUs, or British Thermal Units, needed to heat your home is dependent on several variables. Contrary to what you might think, a bigger furnace may not necessarily mean more heating power.
