When your home in Naperville, IL needs a new heating system, you’ll have to sort through many options. One of the more recent innovations in heating technology is the multi-stage furnace. Instead of operating at full power during each heating cycle, it uses just the right level of power to heat your home quickly and efficiently. As you sort through the features of different furnace options, keep in mind these perks of multi-stage furnaces.
Higher Energy Efficiency
A multi-stage heating system only operates at full power when the thermostat detects a large drop in temperature. The rest of the time, the furnace operates at a lower capacity. This reduces the amount of energy used to heat your home. Multi-stage furnaces offer up to 98.5% annual fuel utilization efficiency, explains the Department of Energy. This means that less than 2% of the fuel used by the furnace is released in the flue gases.
Better Indoor Air Quality
During the winter months of the year, most people spend the majority of their time indoors. Multi-stage furnaces feature longer heating cycles. The longer cycles also include more air filtration. Your home’s air quality may significantly improve thanks to the increased level of filtration. Continue to check your furnace filter monthly and replace it every one to three months to optimize your home’s air quality and the furnace’s performance.
Improved Comfort
Multi-stage furnaces minimize temperature swings in your home. Their regular airflow ensures that your home’s temperature is consistent from one room to another. These furnaces also operate quietly. If sounds keep you up at night or distract you while working from home, the quiet operation of a multi-stage furnace may help you focus better during the day and sleep better at night.
