Furnace Size Matters

Beware the HVAC contractor who talks you into an oversized furnace! Rather than calculate precise heating loads and properly sizing the heating system to your needs, there are contractors who will either replace your old unit with one of the same sizes or go bigger. A larger furnace costs more to purchase and install. If you’ve made energy-saving improvements to your home, such as new windows, a new roof, or added insulation, a smaller heating unit might be just perfect.

Furnace Efficiency made easy with Hometown Heroes Heating and Cooling

While it might be obvious that an undersized furnace will struggle to keep up with the demands of the long, cold winters in The Kansas City Metro Area, homeowners sometimes believe the biggest furnace is the best choice. Not necessarily. An oversized heating system will reach the desired thermostat setting too quickly and then shut down, resulting in short cycling, indoor temperature fluctuation, and wear and tear on components. It won’t achieve peak efficiency levels.
