What would the payback period be for a new high efficiency furnace compared to one that is forty years old? |
[Edit] |
Answer
guestimating solely on basis of average sear ratings then and now, about two or three years.
Answer
payback starts as soon as you fire up furnace and go so sleep or leave the house since all new fau's are 100% safer than even a 20 year old unit but if you still have a forty year old unit please use a carbonmonoxide detector.
Answer
With the new 15 seer units the payback would be approx. 8 years
Answer
It all depends on the SEER of the unit, size of unit, brand of unit, gas price, etc... But, I would say around 5-8 years.
Answer
You couldn't know the answer without knowing what your average seasonal temperatures and utility costs are. But consider this. If that forty year old unit breaks in the middle of a cold winter, it's unlikely you'll get the best price. In other words, cheap is expensive.
Answer
if you take a 60% gas furnace and your gas bill is about 250.00 mth and you replace your furnace with a 92% you will save anywhere around 50.00 to 75.00 per mth also 92% furnaces have a sealed burner section and a lot more safety devices witch makes them one of the safest means of heat out there
