High-Efficiency Furnaces

High-efficiency heating

Every BTU, working for you. 96%+ efficient.

Older furnaces send 20–40 cents of every heating dollar up the flue. A modern condensing furnace converts 96%+ of fuel to heat — steadier warmth, quieter cycles, and a permanently smaller gas bill.

The problem

What the old way costs you.

Your flue is your biggest leak

A 70–80% AFUE furnace literally exhausts a fifth or more of the fuel you pay for. Every heating season, that waste compounds.

On/off blasts, uneven rooms

Old single-stage furnaces slam on at full power, overshoot, and shut off — hot-cold swings, cold floors, loud ducts.

The 3 a.m. failure

Heat exchangers and igniters fail hardest on the coldest nights. Past 15 years, you're running on borrowed time.

The Nu way

What you get instead.

96%+ AFUE efficiency

Condensing technology captures heat from the exhaust itself. Nearly every dollar of fuel becomes warmth in your rooms.

Modulating, even heat

Variable-stage burners and ECM blowers run low and steady — no blasts, no cold spots, barely a sound.

Safer by design

Sealed combustion draws outside air and vents directly out — no backdrafting worries, cleaner indoor air.

Pairs with a heat pump

Dual-fuel setups run the heat pump most days and fire the furnace only in deep cold — the cheapest possible heat, automatically.

Rebates & incentives

Efficiency you feel on every heating bill

Stepping up from an old 80% AFUE furnace to a 96%+ condensing unit means roughly 16 cents more heat from every fuel dollar — compounding all winter, every winter. Your plan prices that against your real fuel costs, pairs it with smart-thermostat and duct-sealing wins where they pay off, and flags any utility rebate your address may qualify for.

FAQ

High-Efficiency Furnaces — straight answers.

Furnace or heat pump — how do I choose?
It comes down to your fuel prices, climate and ductwork. In many homes the winning answer is dual-fuel: a heat pump covers 80–90% of the season at the lowest cost, and the furnace takes over only in deep cold. Your free plan runs the numbers for your exact address and rates.
What does 96% AFUE actually mean for my bill?
AFUE is the share of fuel that becomes usable heat. Moving from an 80% furnace to 96% cuts the fuel you buy for the same warmth by roughly one-sixth — before you add smart-thermostat scheduling or insulation improvements.
Can I keep my existing thermostat and ducts?
Usually. We inspect ductwork as part of the assessment — if it's leaky, sealing it is often rebate-eligible and multiplies the savings from the new furnace. We'll configure a smart thermostat as part of the install.
