Choosing the Right HVAC System for Your Needs
Choosing a furnace is, of course, the first step in the installation process. Our experienced service team will take your square footage, desired features, budget, and more into account and provide estimates to help you choose the perfect furnace or air conditioner for your home or business. Here are a few things to consider when choosing a furnace:
Efficiency
All furnaces have an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) ratio. This rating is based on the percentage of energy the unit consumes that goes directly to providing heat for your home or business.
For instance, an AFUE of 90 means that 90% of the energy the furnace uses produces heat while 10% is lost. We recommend opting for a furnace that’s Energy Star rated. Central Arkansas, including Searcy, falls under Energy Star’s U.S. South recommendations, which require HVAC systems to have an AFUE above 90.
Size
System capacity is vital to efficient HVAC performance. If your furnace’s output is too low, it will struggle to do its job, but contrary to what some people believe, bigger isn’t always better. If your output is too high, you’ll waste energy—and money—to get the same results.
Determining the right furnace size for your home or commercial space requires considering a wide range of factors such as square footage, ceiling height, insulation, the number of windows, and more. Our experts will explain your sizing options during your installation consultation.
Furnace Type
Gas furnaces come in three primary types: single-stage, two-stage, and modulating.
- Single-stage furnaces have a gas valve that opens and closes to initiate heating. The gas flow is always the same, which can make these units less efficient than multiple-stage ones.
- Two-stage furnaces are capable of adjusting the gas flow between low and high in response to the thermostat setting to offer better fuel efficiency.
- Modulating furnaces offer the most control over gas flow and are the most efficient option.

Is It Time to Replace Your Furnace?
Eventually, there will come a time with HVAC repair isn’t enough to restore your furnace to peak efficiency. Whether you have a heat pump, furnace, or otherwise, nearly all HVAC systems have a similar lifespan: 10 to 20 years. Where your unit falls in that range will depend on the quality of the original installation and whether you keep up with maintenance. Beyond age, your HVAC unit may also need to be replaced if it:
- Requires more frequent repairs
- Has lost efficiency
- Would cost more than half the price of installation to repair
We’re happy to send one of our experienced technicians to your home or business to evaluate your heating and cooling system and offer advice as to whether repair or replacement would be the more cost-effective option, complete with estimates. We’ll always be honest with you about the condition of your furnace or A/C.
