Replace your old furnace with a new ENERGY STAR qualified high-efficiency furnace.

Replacing your old furnace with a new ENERGY STAR qualified high-efficiency furnace will reduce your energy consumption, which will lead to lower gas bills, reduced greenhouse gas emissions and a more energy efficient home.

How it works:
Contact your local furnace contractor/installer to get your old furnace replaced with a new ENERGY STAR qualified high-efficiency furnace.
Why Upgrade?
With increasing energy costs, there has never been a better time to replace that old inefficient furnace with a new ENERGY STAR qualified high-efficiency furnace.

If your home’s furnace is more than 15 years old, it is most likely a standard-efficiency furnace, which only has an AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) of about 60 per cent. This means that for every dollar you spend on heating, your furnace only uses 60 cents for heating your home. The rest of your money is just being blown out the chimney.

An ENERGY STAR qualified high-efficiency furnace has an AFUE of at least 90 per cent which gives you more bang for your buck. This means you can keep heating your home just as you always have, but your monthly heating costs will be lower. On average, a Manitoban that upgrades from a standard-efficiency furnace to an ENERGY STAR qualified high-efficiency furnace will save about $450 annually on heating costs.

ENERGY STAR qualified high-efficiency furnaces also help our environment as they reduce the amount of natural gas you consume, which reduces the greenhouse gas emissions from your home and creates a more environmentally friendly place to live.


Why ENERGY STAR?
The international ENERGY STAR symbol is a simple way for consumers to identify products that are among the most energy-efficient on the market. Only manufacturers and retailers whose products meet the ENERGY STAR criteria can label their products with this symbol.
