Gas Furnaces

Anubis Mechanical is a trusted name for providing quality furnace services to homes and businesses in Goose Creek, SC, and the surrounding areas.

Most Goose Creek homes have a gas furnace that relies on ductwork to disperse warm air. Oil and electric furnaces are your other two options. But if you have a connection to a natural gas line, you will probably stick with a gas furnace.

When purchasing a new furnace, consider the efficiency rating, noise levels, and other features designed to save you money and increase your comfort. Our team at Anubis Mechanical can help you determine which options best suit your lifestyle and budget.

Anubis Mechanical services and repairs all makes and models of furnaces, air conditioning units, and ductless systems. Call us today for a free consultation about your next home project!

How to Choose the Best Furnace

It pays to upgrade! Replacing a conventional furnace more than 15 years old with an ENERGY STAR® qualified furnace can lower your monthly bills by 15 percent.

Here are a few other factors to consider:

What size gas furnace do I need?

In a moderate climate, you want a new gas furnace that can provide at least 67,000 BTUs (British thermal units) for a 1,500-square-foot home. In a colder climate, you would want a furnace that can provide at least 90,000 BTUs for that same home.

How efficient is my furnace?

The annual fuel usage efficiency (AFUE) measures how much you pay to heat your home. A furnace with a 98 percent AFUE converts up to 98 cents of every dollar spent on gas into heated air for your home. Older furnaces with an AFUE of 80 are only converting 80 cents of every dollar spent. That's a significant difference over the life of your furnace.

Types of furnaces

Here are your three basic furnace options:

• • Single-stage furnace-these standard systems have one heat setting. They are either on or off. A single-stage furnace is a perfect choice for a smaller home.

• • Two-stage furnace-these furnaces have two settings. They can run at full power on super cold days or provide a comfortable temperature at a lower power setting on more moderate days, saving you money.

• • Variable-speed furnace-also known as a modulating furnace, these high-efficiency models can adjust the flame to the smallest increment, allowing them to run longer at a slower speed. Doing so gives you more control over the temperature and energy costs.

Furnace Installation and Replacement

Did you know that choosing a reputable contractor to install your Goose Creek furnace is every bit as important as the brand you choose?

Our trained professionals will install your equipment according to the manufacturer's recommendations and the layout of your home. Doing so allows your furnace to operate with less wear and tear on the components. That means fewer breakdowns and greater efficiency.

We take into consideration the ductwork in your home, the vents, and other factors to ensure your furnace functions to the best of its ability.

A poorly installed furnace tends to rattle over time. Loose parts can lead to spotty temperatures around your home, poor indoor air quality (IAQ), or even a carbon monoxide leak (CO). It pays to go with a reputable contractor.

How Much Money Can a New Furnace Save You?

Our AFUE energy savings calculator can help determine how much you could save on your utility bills. Just enter your current unit's AFUE value and compare it to a newer, more efficient system.

Furnace Repair

You need to know when to replace your old equipment. As a good rule of thumb, consider a replacement if you have a furnace more than 10 years old and you have a repair that will cost over $500.

Here are a few of the more common repairs associated with furnaces:

• • Loose electrical connections

• • Blower motor issues

• • Faulty thermocouple

• • Dirty flame sensors

• • Broken gas valve

A well-maintained furnace will operate efficiently for 15 to 20 years. If your furnace is near that age, you are probably better off replacing it than repairing it.

Furnace Maintenance

Want to get the most value from your heating and cooling equipment? Maintain it. Imagine driving your vehicle for years without an oil change or tire rotation. It probably would not go too well.

Apply that same strategy to your HVAC system. Here are a few tasks our technicians will perform during a routine service call:

• • Inspect the burners-we make sure they are clean and firing correctly.

• • Inspect the heat exchanger-the heat exchanger generates the heat for your home. A cracked heat exchanger could lead to a CO leak.

• • Test the capacitor-the capacitor controls the blower motor. Your home will not reach the desired temperature if the blower breaks.

• • Check the ignition system-to ensure your system operates correctly.

Between service calls, be sure to change the filter. Doing so promotes healthy airflow and lessens the strain on your entire system. Follow the manufacturer's recommendation on how often to change it. This small step can make a huge difference in the service life of your furnace!
