Gas Furnaces
In every brand, there are various furnace models and styles; there will be models for both upflow and downflow orientation. The question is, which furnace is the right one for your home? To break it down, there are generally two main categories of furnaces: 80% and 90%+ gas furnaces. Within the two categories, all brands may share a single-stage, two-stage, or modulating gas valve for input/output metering. The other main difference would be the fan performance output. Typically, with a single or two-stage gas furnace, you will have a single or two-stage fan as well. Variable-speed fan furnaces will mostly have a two-stage gas valve. However, a modulating furnace will always have a modulating gas input paired with a variable-speed fan output. To break it down even more, see below:
Now that the difference is visible, why would you upgrade your furnace to a 90%+ AFUE rating? The visible difference in installation is the flue exhaust being PVC instead of B-Vent or single wall pipe. There is also an intake line which needs to be installed for the furnace to maintain efficiency. Thinking in the mind of an installer, this can oftentimes be an easy upgrade; however, not every home is in a development with equipment in the garage. The upgrade after equipment costs is around two extra hours of installation time depending on the exhaust and intake run. The difference in performance within the furnaces can be broken down to simple math. See below:

Variable Speed Advantage
Why is having a variable speed blower important for your home? Variable speed blowers are similar to a leaf blowers because the need for air regulates the amount of air being processed. A single stage is 100% on or off, while the two-stage furnace offers a medium and a high stage. The modulating gas valve could be compared to driving a car, only using what you need and being able to limit how much fuel you use. The two-stage gas valve paired with a variable speed blower is popular because the variable speed blower is used to keep the air bubble moving while intermittently adding a low-to-high amount of heat to the ongoing airstream.
Electric Furnace
Electric furnaces have become increasingly popular in greater Seattle area. Electric furnaces convert electrical energy directly into heat with minimal loss, making them one of the most effective methods of heating a home. This process begins when electricity activates the furnace’s heating elements, which are composed of coils or wires that become hot due to electrical resistance. Air is then blown over these heated elements by the furnace’s fan and distributed throughout the home via the ductwork. This direct method of converting electricity into heat makes sure that almost all the energy used is transformed into warmth for your living space, minimizing waste and maximizing efficiency.
Homeowners often opt for electric furnaces for several reasons. They are generally safer and more environmentally friendly than gas furnaces, as they do not burn fossil fuels, eliminating the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning or gas leaks. Additionally, electric furnaces tend to have a longer lifespan because they have fewer moving parts, leading to less wear and tear over time. Their installation is also usually simpler and less costly, as it doesn't require gas lines or venting systems. And if you're someone with kids or who just values your peace and quiet, electric furnaces are known for their quiet operation and ability to provide consistent, even heating, making them a comfortable and reliable choice for home heating.
