If you are looking to replace your furnace at the end of this season you have many things to choose from. One of the choices you can make is to get a variable speed furnace. There are a few good reasons to look into getting a variable speed furnace. A furnace becomes variable speed because of the fans ability to run a more than one speed. This allows the furnace to regulate air flow, humidity, and temperature. Variable speed furnaces tend to be more efficient and save you money on your energy bills. They use less energy to run especially when you run it on low most of the time. Variable speed furnaces are quieter than single speed ones. A variable speed furnaces is better at controlling humidity in your home. This helps in the summer when you need the humidity low to feel cooler inside. You will have more consistent temperatures in your home because the variable speed system is better at retaining temperature than the traditional single speed. The single speeds cycle more turning on and off a lot which creates temperature fluctuations and also uses more energy while it does. A variable speed furnace will have better indoor quality because the longer it runs the cleaner it makes the air. This will help anyone with asthma and allergies in the home. There are a few cons to the variable speed furnace. One is the cost, they are more expensive than single stage furnaces to initially buy and install. The other con is they don’t work the best in a larger home unless it was built with zoning. It is best to look into all your options before you decide on a big purchase.
