Mod with a stat that tells the furnace what to do based on the needs of the house, room temp, set temp, etc. No timers, no algorithms guessing, no 2 stage stats. Modulating stats.

Otherwise a good 2 or 3 stage with 2 stage or communicating control respectively.

Exactly!

I would say modulating all the way. It is the most ideal thing to get for comfort and efficiency.

you'd be surprised. Depending where you live it can get near freezing for 4 months out of the year. Sure, it's not Minnesota but the heat is on 4-5 months out of the year.

In LA?

Fully Modulating Gas Furnace- Worth it or not?

Fully Modulating Gas Furnace- Worth it or is getting a variable speed dual stage enough?
