_Heating Services_

We offer comprehensive heating repair services, ensuring that your furnace is operating at peak efficiency and effectively keeping your home warm during the cold winter months. To help you better understand the inner workings of your furnace, here's a quick overview of how it functions:

Furnaces heat air and distribute it throughout your home using ducting or airways. An efficient furnace contains two heat exchangers: the primary and the secondary. The fuel source (natural gas, liquid propane, or fuel oil) ignites in the burner section, where the burned fuel first flows through the primary heat exchanger, followed by the secondary heat exchanger. The indoor blower motor then blows air across these heat exchangers, delivering warm air to your living spaces.

At Leading Edge Heating and Air Conditioning, we service most furnace makes and models and can help you assess your furnace's efficiency.

_Furnace Efficiency_

A furnace's efficiency is measured by its annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE). AFUE represents the ratio of the furnace's annual heat output compared to the total annual fossil fuel energy consumed. A 90% AFUE rating, for example, means that 90% of the energy in the fuel becomes heat for the home, while 10% escapes up the chimney and elsewhere.

Furnaces can be retrofitted to improve their efficiency. These upgrades enhance the safety and efficiency of older systems. However, it's essential to weigh the costs of retrofits against the cost of a new furnace, particularly if replacement is likely within a few years.

_Replacing Your Furnace_

Replacing your heating system with a modern, high-efficiency model can reduce fuel bills and emissions by up to 50%. If your furnace is more than 15 years old, an upgrade can significantly reduce energy costs.

Before buying a new furnace or modifying an existing unit, consider improving the energy efficiency of your home. This will save money on a new furnace, as you can likely purchase a smaller, more affordable unit. A properly sized furnace will operate most efficiently, making it essential to enlist the help of a trusted HVAC professional like Leading Edge Heating and Air Conditioning.

While selecting a new furnace, look for energy-efficient features that offer long-term savings. High-efficiency models often incorporate advanced heating technologies that improve comfort and reduce emissions.
