Your oil furnace was loosing 20% of the heat out the flue. Now your loosing 5%.
You'll loosing less BTUs. Someone else can do the math. It's also know that oil puts out more heat per BTU then gas....

Wow 500 gallons of oil for a full season upstate NY? I thought I did ok with 1000 gallons and we leave it on 72 because of the little ones. 1750sqf.

My largest winter bill for gas was 270.00. I...

Mine was installed last early Dec. I'm in NJ and last years winter was far from very cold. Very few days in the low 20's or under. Mine ran on low almost all the time, 2 or 3 times an hour. The only...

Just a homeowner. My old oil furnace was 80% efficient. That means 20% went up my flue. My 1 year old 2 stage is 94.5% that means less then 6% is out the PVC pipe. If my furnace was 50% on stage 1...

Just a homeowner as well. But the Rheem sounds like a 2 stage without ECM motor. If that's the case the Amana is worth the extra. Wait for a pro to comment.

I had a 80,000 oil burner 80%. I have a bi-level with around 1700 SQ
I switched to a Bryant 94.1% 2 stage. The high stage is 80,000. I've only see the high stage when I came back from vacation. If...

It was around 12 years old. 80% Ducane. It was tuned up each year and ran very well. I figured out my savings my just added of what it would cost to fill my oil tank.
I got a .35 per gallon discount...

I might kicked kicked a bit but I converted from Oil to Nat Gas in Dec and I saved 2000.00 on fuel alone. I also saved on 200.00 for my oil repair contract. My payback is 2 to 3...

I run my fan on low. When there's a call for heat, it shuts down the fan, the inducer kicks on and the it turns on the blower at whatever speed the controller sees fit. Once the heat cycle is done...

That overhang is the second floor not the attic. I thought it was a bit close but even on 1st stage it clears the lip of the overhang.

As for the install. I really wanted a new return. All they...

I agree, your climate is pretty darn cold in the winter. You can save by getting a 90% or better furnace. Carrier has them. Since this Carrier dealer didn't offer one I would...

I have the Bryant version. The Infinity furnace with the Performance series outdoor unit. My outdoor unit was recognized by the Infinity t-stat. it then told the stat how many house it ran. (The...

I don't think you'll ever see a payback getting a 90% or up in your area. You should get something with Var SP. That should setup you up when you do need an new AC unit.

Just kidding! The sun was setting and directly blazing into the exhaust. PVC of course melts and doesn’t heat up like that.

I think my 94.1 AFUE furnace is running out of spec since the PVC is turning cherry red!

I'm not sure how Degree Day works but it was
(Feb 703)(167.00) Therms 111.44
(Jan 683 209.00) Therms 143.11
The online bill states the bills should have gone up 3.00 for because the delivery...

Can a restrictive air filter force the furnace to use more gas?

My furnace was installed Dec 14th and my first bill was below 100.00 mark.
My next bill was over double. Now mind you it’s normally...

My lights dim when the AC kicks on even with the new unit. I wasn't able to find more details on this unbalancing. Can anyone add some more details?

Thanks!

"Fault history shows code 12, blower on after power up, 7 times."

I have had 2 of these codes with my Bryant system. One was at 1:00pm which is time it does a check. My heat is working just fine....

I love my 90!! It runs on low most of the time and I never hear it. My old 80 was LOUD! If they don't want to install a 90 find someone else!

My EER was 12 with a standard blower. Should that number should be boosted as well with a VS? I'll have to read that math part more slowly :)

I was at 14 seer 12 EER with my old furnace. I was told with a VS I could get 1 more SEER or more. I realize that the VS uses less watts. Is the blower a part of the calculation? Will the VS also...

I've had my Bryant 90I for 2 months. I had a problem with the filter cab not allowing for the larger filters. So I started with a 3M 1" 600 Rated filter. I got a filter alert pretty fast. I switched...

Funny you mentioned that. I just had my pump wired and about 2 hours later the Evolution controller went dark. Someone wired it to the controller and not the board.
I'm not having any issues with...

Homeowner here. If I read right you are from Mass? I don't think you'll see a payback with a 2 speed. I have a Bryant that's = to the Performance. I would suggest the Performance with the infinity...
