• Modulating – Referring to the burner, it adjusts in order to respond to the heat demands of your home

The last basic term on furnaces you’re going to want to keep in mind is the ‘AFUE’. This stands for Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency. It’s a measure of how efficiently a furnace uses fuel.

For you as a customer, know that the higher the AFUE percentage, the better.
