How to Use the Calculator
Here’s a quick guide to filling out each field of the calculator accurately so you can see your potential savings:
1. Enter Your Current Furnace’s Efficiency Rating (AFUE)
- AFUE stands for Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency—the percentage of fuel converted to heat by your model.
- Your furnace’s AFUE is listed on the nameplate inside the furnace cabinet or on the unit’s exterior.
- If you can’t find the nameplate, the AFUE will also be listed in your owner’s manual or you can search for it online.
2. Enter Your Energy Costs
- Enter the amount of natural gas you used last month. You can find this on your most recent utility bill.
3. Enter Your Current Rate
- Your current natural gas rate should be listed on your monthly bill. Look for a section that details the cost per unit or cost per therm (depending on who your provider is).
- If you don’t have your bill handy, contact your natural gas provider or check their website.
4. Enter Your Current Maintenance Costs
- Add up your service and repair bills from the last year, or click the button below for a ballpark estimate based on your furnace’s age.
5. Enter The Cost of Your New Furnce
- Do you have a furnace in mind to replace your current one? Enter the full cost here.
If a new furnace would save you more than $250 per year (roughly $21 per month), replacing your furnace may be more cost-effective in the long term than keeping your current model.
