Furnace Installation & Replacement in New Hampshire

Gas furnaces are most commonly used in New Hampshire and Massachusetts because of their overall price. They are more efficient than oil furnaces and are usually less expensive to operate due to natural gas prices. Gas furnaces can emit more carbon monoxide than other types of furnaces if the fuel isn’t burning cleanly so it’s recommended to have a safety check performed once per year. Making sure you have a functional carbon monoxide detector and checking the batteries twice a year is another way to keep your family safe – with or without a gas furnace installed.

Oil furnaces used to be the most popular choice for the Northeast United States. They can heat large areas of your home evenly and offer very little risk of carbon monoxide leakage in your home. They require an on-site oil storage tank to fuel your oil furnace, where you sign up for service to replenish your oil supply. Oil is often more expensive than natural gas and has a lower efficiency rating for heating your home. An oil system does provide more heating BTU’s per gallon than other heating sources, so while the fuel itself may not burn as efficiently, it generates more heat when it does.
