Size matters more than most people expect with a new furnace. An oversized unit short-cycles, overshoots the thermostat, and wears out early, while a correctly sized furnace runs longer and more quietly and costs less to operate. So Madison HVAC starts every replacement in Madison with a load calculation, not the number on the old nameplate. From there, the choices come into focus: 80 percent AFUE or a condensing furnace in the mid-90s, single-stage, two-stage, or modulating burners, and a basic PSC blower or a variable-speed ECM motor that saves electricity and smooths out temperature swings. The right combination depends on your home, your ducts, and how long your heating season lasts, and you will be living with it for the next twenty years.
The repair homeowners call us about most is Furnace Repair. Start there if your system isn't running right.
