Determining the Size of Furnace You Need

If you are considering getting a new furnace installed in your home, many things need to be taken into account. For ease and peace of mind, it is best to work with a qualified HVAC professional when choosing a new furnace. This will ensure that you get a heating system that can efficiently and effectively meet the needs of your household. Here are some of the factors that our technicians at Big Fish Cooling & Heating take into consideration when helping you choose the right system.

THE SIZE AND LAYOUT OF YOUR HOME

The size of your home is the main factor, but it isn’t the only one. Choosing a system based only on the square footage of your home can result in a system that doesn’t keep your home evenly heated. The layout, insulation, number of windows, and overall efficiency of the home itself need to be taken into consideration. You might even consider upgrading your windows, doors, and insulation to improve the efficiency of your home and reduce your overall energy usage when it comes to heating your home.

THE REGION YOU LIVE IN

This is the second most important factor when choosing a furnace. The colder the region, the more BTUs per square footage you will need. In Lumberton, TX, we are in Zone 1 and generally only need around 30-35 BTUs per square foot. This means that a 2,000-square-foot home will need a furnace with around 70,000 BTUs. It is important to remember that there are factors that affect this number. This is why it is essential to work with an expert in the industry to ensure that you get the right system.
