Making Sense of Furnace AFUE Ratings

Monday, December 18th, 2023


When it’s time for furnace replacement in Colorado Springs, the most important thing to take into consideration is its AFUE rating. This measures how energy-efficient a gas furnace is. Let’s use a simple analogy to illustrate just how important an AFUE rating is–and to explain what it means. A furnace’s AFUE rating is similar to a new vehicle’s fuel rating or MPG.
