However, gas fireplaces can have anywhere from 60 to 90% energy efficiency. If you’re interested, you cancheck the AFUE rating that determines the energy efficiency of gas furnaces here. For this example, we will make the same assumption that is made in the calculator above: 75% gas effi...
If you do not open your windows, there is a danger of backdrafting or pulling the flames out from pilot lights of gas appliances and furnaces, causing a carbon dioxide buildup in your home. Do not light a fire in the fireplace when using a whole house fan because the flames could get...
labor costs are also higher. They run louder and have a shorter 10 to 20-year lifespan. Homeowners must also be alert to the potential for fuel leaks and carbon monoxide emissions. The advantages of gas furnaces are their lower operational cost thanks to inexpensive fuel, their rapid heating...
Larger homes and those with gas-powered appliances, such as furnaces, water heaters and stoves, will also have higher gas bills. Given that much of your gas bill probably goes toward heating the house, save money by monitoring your thermostat. In the winter, allow for lower temperatures while...
Clean and Efficient Gas Heating of Industrial Furnaces: Energy Costs Usually Represent a Large Fraction of Operating Cost for an Industrial Furnace. Most of These Furnaces Use Natural Gas as an Energy Source for HeatingWuenning, J. G
Last but not least, cleaner boilers and furnaces means improved safety. With much less manual internal cleaning of furnaces required, human exposure to molten ash and furnace gas is greatly reduced and dangerous techniques such as explosion cleaning are avoided. ...

Homeowners who want a little extra privacy in certain rooms can employ frosted or textured glass, which is both beautiful and prevents people from seeing inside their homes while still delivering natural light. Colored window frames can drastically transform your home, making it look more modern or...
Many of us associate oil with transportation, heating (used as fuel oil in furnaces for heating homes) and electricity (diesel generators). But oil is more ubiquitous than that. Oil is also used to make plastics, synthetic materials, chemical products, personal hygiene goods and asphalt. And ...
