If your furnace is over 15 years old, chances are it’s a mid-efficiency model—and it could be costing you more than you think. Upgrading to a high-efficiency furnace isn’t just about keeping your home warmer in the winter; it’s about saving money, improving comfort, and reducing your home’s carbon footprint.

At HeatPro, your local heating experts, we help homeowners upgrade to energy-efficient heating systems that deliver long-term value. Here’s why investing in a high-efficiency furnace is a smart move.

1. Significant Energy Savings

High-efficiency furnaces (rated AFUE 95% or higher) convert nearly all the fuel they consume into heat. Mid-efficiency furnaces, on the other hand, typically range from 78% to 85% AFUE.

That difference can translate into hundreds of dollars in annual energy savings, especially during cold winters.

2. Improved Home Comfort

High-efficiency furnaces use variable-speed blowers and modulating gas valves to deliver consistent, even heating throughout your home. That means no more cold spots, noisy start-ups, or temperature swings.

You’ll enjoy quieter operation and a more comfortable living environment all season long.

3. Better Air Quality

Newer furnaces can include advanced filtration systems and can be paired with bigger filters, humidifiers or air purifiers to improve indoor air quality. This helps reduce dust, allergens, and dry air that can irritate your skin and sinuses during the heating season.

4. Lower Environmental Impact

By using less fuel and producing fewer greenhouse gas emissions, high-efficiency furnaces are an eco-friendly choice. If you’re looking to reduce your carbon footprint and make your home more sustainable, this is one of the best upgrades you can make.

5. Increased Home Value

Energy-efficient upgrades are attractive to potential buyers. A high-efficiency furnace not only saves money but can increase your home’s resale value.

6. Rebates and Incentives Available

Programs from FortisBC and the Canada Greener Homes Grant often provide rebates for furnace replacements, making it even more affordable to upgrade. Our HeatPro team can help you navigate the rebate process and ensure your installation qualifies for maximum savings.
