Think of a variable speed gas furnace as the home version of the climate control system in your car. Cars used to have just 2 levels of heat – on or off. When it was too cold in the cabin, you turned on the heater. When it was too hot, you cracked the window. Today, you can tune the interior heat to exactly the level you want – and most cars even include driver and passenger zoning.
The way this works is with a variable speed motor running the heating system. We can give you the same performance in your home as you enjoy driving down the road in your car. The added benefit in your home is that you’re going to save energy. The heater won’t run too long or too hot – it will only run at the level that’s needed to bring comfort to the interior spaces.
A new furnace or heat pump in your home will immediately affect other systems in your home. We start and finish every job with one question in mind: Is your home in sync? This means that we aim to increase comfort in every room and corner of the house – no matter what the conditions are outside.
Installing a new heater without considering air leakage, insulation, ductwork, humidity and dust control is like equipping your car with a bigger engine without evaluating the drive train. You may get a boost in power, but the car will be less functional than it was before.
When we come to your home for a new heating system installation, we respect the space as if it were our own. Our technicians wear shoe covers and use tarps to keep things neat. When the job is done, we vacuum the work area thoroughly – in fact, we think our cleaning equipment is the most important kit in the truck!

Single Stage: A single-stage furnace has only one stage of operation. It can either be turned on or turned off.
Two Stage: A two-stage furnace has two settings––full and half speed. This is a more efficient way to heat and provides for better comfort, because it can move the air at a slower pace.
Variable Stage or Modulating: A variable-stage or modulating furnace modulates the speed and heat output based on the temperature outside and the desired comfort level. This furnace only works as much as you need it, making this type the most energy-efficient type of furnace.
AFUE, or Annualized Fuel Utilization Efficiency, is a measure of furnace-heating efficiency. The higher the AFUE, the more efficient the furnace.
We can calculate the correct size furnace for your home. The number of BTUs, or British Thermal Units, needed to heat your home is dependent on a number of variables. Contrary to what you might think, a bigger furnace may not necessarily mean more heating power for your home. Call us at Synergy Home, and we can set up an appointment to calculate the furnace size you might need.
