- What does 96% AFUE mean for gas use?
- It means about 96 cents of every dollar of gas goes into heat, because the furnace condenses flue gas instead of venting it hot. That is well above the 80% typical of older furnaces.
- Can it run on propane?
- Yes, but only with a propane conversion kit, which is sold separately and not included. Natural gas is the out-of-the-box fuel.
- Does it need special venting?
- Yes. As a condensing furnace it vents through PVC pipe, usually out a sidewall, and needs a condensate drain. It cannot use a standard metal flue.
- Is single-stage a drawback?
- It runs at full fire or off, so rooms can swing a degree or two more than with a two-stage furnace. The multi-speed ECM blower softens this by ramping airflow down.
- What size home does 110,000 BTU suit?
- Roughly a large home in a cold climate, but sizing depends on insulation, windows and ductwork. Have a contractor run a load calculation before buying.
- What is in the box?
- The furnace itself. The propane kit, thermostat, vent pipe and drain parts are not included and are bought separately.
