Gas Furnaces
At Royal Plus, we’ve seen it countless times—a gas furnace stops working on the coldest night of the year. While it’s a situation no one wants to face, if it happens, you’re left with two options: to repair or replace. As a general guideline, if your furnace is less than 10 years old, repairing it is usually the most cost-effective choice. However, replacement is worth considering, with today’s systems offering significantly improved energy efficiency, reliability, and performance.
Advanced technology and higher industry standards have greatly improved the safety, cleanliness, and efficiency of modern gas furnaces. A furnace works by heating air using natural gas or liquid propane, then distributing the warmed air through a blower and ductwork to maintain the desired temperature.
Modern gas furnaces can achieve up to 98% efficiency based on the Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating, meaning up to 98% of the fuel consumed is converted directly into heat, with minimal waste. This high level of performance means greater comfort and substantial long-term savings on your energy costs.
Our experienced, local technicians at Royal Plus are here to assess your gas furnace system and help you make the best decision for the heating of your home or business in the Delmarva area.
