how do you know which furnaces to buy for your house can you use most in any house?

Answer 1

As a Bryant/Carrier HVAC dealer, I recommend going to either bryant.com or carrier.com on the Internet.

This is the only major manufacturer of HVAC equipment in the world that has factory authorized, factory trained dealers.

There will be spot on the web site where you can type in your zip code and it will show all the dealers in your area.
Choose 4, 2 from Bryant and 2 from Carrier.

Have those 4 come to your home and have them do a comprehensive heat gain calculation to size the equipment properly.

Get at least 3 references from each dealer and check up on the references. Throw out the high and the low bid, and choose the best dealer out of the 2 middle dealers.

By going with a factory authorized dealer.
And dont forget to ask the dealer about this.
Bryant and Carrier will give you a full 100% satisfaction or your money back guarantee for the first year of ownership.
So your buying worry free.

Bryant and Carrier is both the same exact equipment.
Don't let anyone tell one is better then the other, if they do, they are lying and that is a reason to have them leave.

Best of Luck.

Answer 2

Which furnace you install depends on the size of your house and what the insulation is in the walls, roof and your windows. It is measured in BTU's ( units of energy output ) A HVAC contractor takes all these readings or measurements and makes a calcuation as to what size furnace you need. If you are replacing a furnace and you feel it was the right size for your house look at the name plate on it,usually located somewhere inside the unit ( remove service panel to find ) it should tell you what size you have .Furnaces are rated by input BTU's but you will want to determine what the actual output BTU is often also listed on name plate.

Answer 3

There are 3 basic heating systems today: Gas, Oil, & Electric.
These are usually central heating systems, although electric
systems can be radiant; i.e. buried cables, or baseboards.
Heat circulation can be either forced air or hot water.
These decisions will all affect the design of your house.
The size of your house will determine the furnace size.
Also the climate where you are located.

You should consult with a heating specialist about all this.
These days, the cost of fuel is the biggest consideration.
Electric is prohibitive for most northern areas.
Oil is steadily increasing, & must be high efficiency.
Gas is probably the best bargain still, if available.
You could choose natural gas or propane.

Answer 4

Furnaces vary in their degree of efficiency, especially now. And they must be the proper size for your home based on cubic footage, number and type of windows and doors, insulation, etc. A real good heating contrator will do the calculations, the lazy-butt ones will look at your old furnace and get as close to that as possible. Shame, because care taken at purchase will save you $$$$ down the road. The contractor might have some ideas for you to further save heating costs. Shop around so you know you aren't getting the lazy butt contractor, but one who really does care about you, the client, not his bank account.
