Key Factors to Consider When Choosing a Furnace
1. Efficiency (AFUE Rating)
Efficiency is a top priority. Furnaces are rated by their Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE), which measures how effectively they convert fuel into heat. Higher AFUE ratings mean lower energy bills. For example:
Airquest® furnaces offer up to 98% AFUE, providing exceptional energy efficiency for both residential and commercial applications.
Airquest® models are designed to minimize energy loss, keeping heating costs low while maximizing performance.
Airquest® delivers high efficiency at a more affordable price compared to some premium brands, making it a practical and cost-effective choice.
2. Reliability and Durability
Reliability is non-negotiable, especially in Canada’s cold winters. Airquest® furnaces are built by ICP, a part of Carrier Global Corporation, known for high-quality construction and rigorous testing.
Airquest® systems are built with robust heat exchangers and variable-speed blowers, ensuring long-lasting performance and quiet operation. Unlike some competitors, Airquest® combines reliability with affordability, offering contractors and business owners peace of mind without breaking the bank.
3. Advanced Features
Modern furnaces come packed with technology to improve comfort and efficiency:
Airquest® Ion™ Series: Features variable-speed blowers and modulating gas valves for precise temperature control and ultra-quiet operation.
Smart Control Compatibility: Airquest® furnaces work seamlessly with smart thermostats for advanced climate management.
Durability and Comfort: Airquest® furnaces are engineered with self-diagnostic controls, ensuring quick troubleshooting and easy maintenance.
Airquest® furnaces stand out with their cutting-edge technology and user-friendly features, providing premium performance without the premium price tag.
Price vs. Value
Price matters, but value is more important. Here’s a quick breakdown:
Airquest®: Competitive pricing with high-end features. Ideal for contractors and businesses looking for reliability without overspending.
Lennox and Trane: Higher price tags that prioritize luxury features, often at a significant cost increase.
Goodman: Budget-friendly but lacks the advanced features and reliability offered by Airquest®.
Warranty Comparison
A furnace is a long-term investment, so warranties matter:
Airquest®: 10-year parts and lifetime heat exchanger warranty with registration, matching or exceeding warranties from most competitors.
Lennox and Trane: Offer comparable warranties but often at a higher upfront cost.
Goodman: Provides similar warranties but with fewer premium features.
Airquest® combines industry-leading warranties with accessible pricing, ensuring long-term value and reliability.
Final Thoughts
Choosing the right furnace involves balancing efficiency, features, and cost. Airquest® furnaces deliver excellent performance with advanced features, strong warranties, and competitive pricing. Unlike some high-end brands, Airquest® provides premium features without the luxury price tag, making it the ideal choice for contractors, businesses, and property owners.
