Single And Two-Stage Furnaces

A single-stage furnace has only one heat output stage. It continually disperses as much heat as the furnace is designed to, regardless of the weather outside or in certain areas of your home. A two-stage furnace produces heat in two stages: high for cold days and low for milder ones. But you may be asking if there are any differences between the two? Are there differences in advantages for either one? Forquer Heating & Cooling has you covered. 

Advantages of Single Stage Furnaces 

Here at Forquer Heating & Cooling, we’re very familiar with the single stage furnace. We have always had thermostats that call for heat. They fire up and then shut off when the house is warm. But keep in mind the furnace is sized for the coldest day of the year. It's hard to keep 70 degrees in your house when it's zero degrees outside. But how often do we experience that? How about a forty-degree day? Your single-stage furnace still fires the same way.

Two-Stage Furnaces 

With two-stage furnaces, we got more of a steady flow and a much quieter sequence in the first stage. As a result, more and more clients are purchasing modulating furnaces these days, which fire between 40 and 100 percent. 

Choices Between The Two 

As much as you have choices, they are all comfort choices. If a furnace is ninety-five percent single-stage, it is going to be ninety-five percent two-stage or modulating. You are going to gain efficiency. There is only one purpose for it: comfort. A lot of people invest in that because their home is their castle, so investing a little extra makes sense.
