There are no shortages of gas furnaces to choose from and sometimes that makes the decision even harder. When the time came to replace our unit we decided to go with a Rheem gas furnace. We had done a lot of reading online so we could make an informed decision. We looked at gas furnace epinions, we did our best to compare gas furnaces. We wanted to make sure we got the best model for our home.
Our old gas furnace was almost twenty years old, the safe cut off point. Most only last that long and we didn't want to have to make a rush decision as installing a gas furnace is an expensive proposition. We wanted to take a look at lots of different brands and comparison shop so we would pick the best gas furnace for our home.
We we talked with our local Rheem representative we were immediately impressed by how knowledgeable he was about the products. With the emphasis today on being "green" we were glad to see Rheem has a selection of PrOzone products that are environmentally friendly. We learned about AFUE efficiency ratings and how they compare between different gas furnace manufacturers. AFUE is a simple system that allows you to calculate how much money you are likely to save each year buying a more efficient system. Older gas furnaces that use pilot lights generally have an efficiency rating of about 65%. The Rheem 90 Plus furnace delivers AFUE ratings up to 94.5%.
Rheem also showed us how a high efficiency furnace could be cost effective over time. We plan to live in our house at least another ten years, maybe longer. This means that the overall cost of the unit will be lower for us. The Rheem Classic Series, RGPP Series, RGPN Series and RGLN Series also offer a 20 year warranty on the heat exchanger unit, as well as a 5 year warranty on all other parts.
There were many models to choose from, the Rheem Classic Series Downflow Premium and Upflow/Horizontal furnaces, Classic 90 Plus Value Upflow and Classic 90 Plus Premium Downflow. They also offer a wide range of Rheem Value-Line series furnaces.
