The average life of a furnace is 15-20 years. The average furnace older than 10 years is only operating at 50% efficiency. New furnaces on the market today reach between 80%-98% efficiency, offering immediate savings on your heating bill.
Gas furnaces are rated for efficiency with an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency number (AFUE). According to the state's Energy Efficiency Standards, Title 24, the minimum AFUE for central furnace systems now sold in California is 0.78, which means that 78 percent of the fuel used by the furnace actually reaches your home's duct work as heat. The higher the AFUE, the more efficient the furnace.
