Gas Furnaces “Modulate” To Ensure Total Comfort (NAPSA)—Here’s hot news: While the average homeowner spends about $1,900 annually on heating and cooling bills—an expense that accounts for as much as half of a home’s energy use— you can save in some surprising ways. For example, it may make sense to consider replacing your old furnace with a more energyefficient model. Many of today’s higher-efficiency gas furnaces are ENERGY Star certified and can achieve Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) ratings as high as 95 percent—meaning only 5 percent of the heat is lost out the flue. The higher the AFUE percentage, the moreefficient the furnaceis. Although higher-efficiency furnaces can cost a bit more at the time of purchase, they use less fuel to create the same amount of heat, and will continue to save you money over time through lower energy bills. Modulating gas furnaces tend to be even more energy efficient than standard two-stage and variable-speed furnaces. Unlike the standard furnaces that run at only one or two heating stages, the Echelon Modulating Gas Furnace from Coleman Heating & Air Conditioning, for instance, continu- ously modulates the heat output into the home. This provides consumers with more accurate and @ A Modulating Gas Furnace from Coleman can earn you a $150 tax break. precise indoor temperatures, maxi- mum comfort, increased energy savings and quieter operation.
