What You Need to Know About Gas Furnaces
Most furnaces in Ohio run on natural gas because it’s widely available and tends to be the most economical choice. A properly maintained gas furnace should operate for 15 to 20 years before you need to replace it.
As a smart Akron, OH, homeowner, you will want to know your furnace’s annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) rating. An energy-efficient furnace will have an AFUE rating of 95 percent or higher, meaning it can convert 95 percent of the energy it consumes into heat.
The higher the AFUE rating, the more money you save on monthly utility bills. Energy-efficient furnaces also help the environment since they emit a lesser amount of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
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. Simply enter your current unit’s AFUE value and compare it to a newer, more efficient system. You can even customize it to better match your home’s system for a more accurate calculation.

“We had Novak Heating & Cooling out recently to replace our old furnace and the process couldn’t have been smoother. First, we had trouble with it staying on over the weekend. Aaron was at our house diagnosing the issue and offering solutions within 20 minutes on a Saturday morning. By Monday at 2:00 we had a new furnace installed warming the house. And it didn’t break the bank. They also installed a whole home humidifier in the fall and our house has never felt this comfortable.”
“If you are in need of HVAC services look no further! Our furnace stopped working in the middle of the night and we have a newborn so of course that caused panic with the negative temperatures approaching. I called Aaron in the am and he literally was at our house within hours and had a quick fix with extremely fair pricing!!! I would recommend to anyone!! Thank you again!
