These furnaces run off of gas and are regarded as the most efficient type of furnace. They are also the biggest investment. Most homes in the Bluffton, SC area rely on gas furnaces.
Oil furnaces rely on an oil tank in which oil is filtered and converted into a spray that eventually heats up your home through further processes. Oil furnaces are considered to be second-in-line for efficiency and cost.
Electric furnaces utilize an electric motor to pump air into and out of the furnace. While electric furnaces are the cheapest option upfront, they are significantly less efficient than oil and natural gas furnaces.
This final type of furnace operates by running propane and converting it into a gas. Propane furnaces are generally considered the least efficient type of furnace, but cost a bit more than an electric furnace. There are advantages to both propane and electric furnaces, you will simply need to consult with our experts to determine which is right for your home.
You should consider replacing your furnace if it is over 15 to 20 years old, has frequent breakdowns, or is causing a noticeable increase in your energy bills. An Howell-Chase Heating and Air Conditioning HVAC technician can also assess if replacement is a better option than a repair.
Spring is an ideal time for furnace installation or replacement because our team is typically less busy, leading to faster service and potentially better scheduling flexibility. Additionally, you won’t need to rely on heat during this season, making it a convenient time for the replacement process.
Typically, furnace installation or replacement takes between four to eight hours, depending on the complexity of the job and any additional work required, such as ductwork or thermostat upgrades. Your Howell-Chase Heating and Air Conditioning technician can provide you with an accurate timeline after inspecting your furnace.
