Energy Efficient Oil furnaces
 Furnaces
and boilers are the two primary means of heating most homes.
Furnaces heat the air and distribute it through the home via air
ducts and vents. Boilers heat hot water or steam and distribute
it through the home in pipes and radiators. In looking at
energy efficiency of both systems the metric that is used is called
the Annualized Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) number.
Furnaces are evaluated as part of the Federal
Energy Star program. In order to qualify an Energy Star oil
furnaces must have annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) ratings
of 83% or higher, making them up to 15% more efficient than standard
models. In some cases the Energy Star compliant furnace may be more
expensive than some other models but they are likely to more cost
effective in the long run.
We feel it is important to note that oil furnaces, and for
that matter natural gas and coal furnaces are carbon-based fuel
sources that contribute significantly to global warming.
Following the 2010 fuel oil spill in the gulf many of the
consumers we have talked to would like to eliminate any
dependencies on oil including fuel oil. If you are at a point
where you need to replace your furnace we strongly recommend
that you consider switching to other heating sources such as
wood pellet stoves or a geothermal heat pump. That being said,
if you can't afford those alternatives then we do suggest that
you try to get the most efficient furnace you possibly can.
When selecting a new furnace or replacing your old furnace it
is important to be sure you get one which has the right capacity
for your home. Don't just assume that the furnace capacity
you currently have is correct. Historically many homes have
been equipped with oversized furnaces because at the time heating
fuel such as natural gas, heating oil or electricity were incredibly
cheap. That is no longer the case so you should always have
a professional contractor do an analysis to determine your actual
requirements.
Sizing your furnace is not just a function of the square footage
in your home. The contractor will also need to take into account
your climate, the amount of insulation in your home and the type
of materials it was built with. Most experienced contractors
now use fairly sophisticated computer programs which can calculate
your design load quite accurately. The most common analysis
software is based upon the Manual J, Residential Load Calculation
Procedure published by the Air Conditioning Contractors of America
(ACCA).
Once the contractor has determined the appropriate load for your
furnace they will determine the appropriate size for ducts,
supply registers, and return grilles. In doing this they usually
follow guidelines set down in the ACCA's Manual D. The contractor
should also check to make sure that you have appropriate insulation
and vents to ensure that the heat your putting in is properly distributed
and unlikely to leak. If duct leaks or other air leaks are
detected these should be addressed before your unit is installed.
Sometimes finding a heating and air conditioning contractor who
really understands energy considerations is difficult. A great resource
to go to in that case is the Air Conditioning Contractors of America
(ACCA) web site at ww.acca.org.
On their site you can find a Contractor Locator which includes a
special designation to identify contractors who sell and are knowledgeable
about ENERGY STAR heating equipment.
