SOME DECISIONS
ARE TOUGH.
THIS ONE ISN’T.
When you consider a Blueridge gas furnace, quality and
value are a given. You’re getting peace of mind with great
features and a smart design—and best of all, you get it
right now.
Efficiency ratings
Consider the AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency)
ratings that measure how efficiently the fuel is used by
the furnace. Higher numbers mean greater efficiency
and lower gas bills for you.
Everyday savings
The blower in a gas furnace operates all year long
to circulate hot air or cold air throughout your home.
Compared to a fixed-speed (PSC) blower motor, a
constant torque or variable-speed blower motor will
provide everyday savings on your electric bill.
Is it time to replace your gas furnace?
It can be hard to decide whether to repair or
replace. Here are a few things to keep in mind
when you’re deciding:
• Age of the furnace – With the average life span
of furnaces being 10-12 years, it’s worth considering
investing in a new one, as repairs may not be worth
the investment.
• Updates – New technology is making furnaces more
efficient and easier to use and control. Rigorous run
testing of each furnace in our factory helps ensure
reliable performance in your home.
• Repair costs – Once repair costs exceed 50%
of the cost of a new gas furnace, a new purchase
might be in order. This is especially true if you’ll be
staying in your house several more years.
