Furnace overview
A furnace sits in a cabinet inside your home alongside the indoor components of your air conditioner. It uses the same ducts and thermostat to force warm air throughout your house. If you don’t have air conditioning, you can install a traditional furnace on its own.
Trane offers gas furnaces and oil furnaces. They operate similarly but with a few key differences. Natural gas is less expensive and more environmentally friendly than oil, so gas furnaces are generally more efficient. However, they can only be installed in areas with natural gas, and the units tend to cost more upfront.
Oil furnaces cost less to purchase, but fuel prices fluctuate based on the volatile oil market. You need to schedule regular oil deliveries and furnace cleanings, and oil is less eco-friendly. However, if you live in a very cold area, oil provides more heat per BTU (British thermal unit) than gas.
Furnaces are given an energy-efficiency rating known as the AFUE (annual fuel utilization efficiency) percentage. This number indicates how much of the furnace’s energy is used to heat your home. The higher the percentage, the more efficient the furnace.

Care and maintenance
Both gas and oil furnaces require regular cleaning and maintenance to maximize their safety, efficiency, and lifespan. You should change the filter of a gas furnace every 90 days if you don’t have pets in the house, or every 60 days if you do. If anyone in your home has severe allergies or asthma, or if you have several furry friends, you may need to change your filter as often as every 20 days. Periodically check the flames in the burner to make sure they are clean and blue, and listen for any unusual vibrations or noises. Schedule an annual service appointment every year in the fall, before cold weather sets in.
If you have an oil furnace, soot and debris are natural byproducts. Thoroughly clean the furnace and change the filter once before the heating season begins and again in the middle of the season. Regularly check for signs of soot around the outside of the furnace, and listen for unusual noises or vibrations. Also, look at the smoke emerging from the chimney to ensure it isn’t black. Every fall, before the heating season begins, have your furnace serviced by a professional.
