Other Cost-Saving Tips 1. Go for Condensing Gas Furnaces When it comes to the most energy efficient furnaces, you have to put condensing gas designs at the top of your list. But this is not the only advantage. They are also very affordable and easy to operate. The design features a heat exchanger that easily converts gas fuel into friendly heat. Furthermore, the furnace comes with a humidification system that helps you to enjoy about 50% humidity. This is a very comfortable percentage and it doesn’t require excessive heating to achieve it. 2. Purchase via a Credible Home Center You actually do not have to buy the furnace directly from the seller. You can do it through a credible home center. This will make it easy for the seller to grant you a huge discount. You may not get such an offer if you contact the seller directly. The secret is finding a home center that works for you and one that can agree to do you the favor. 3. Look for Manufacturer Rebates A good number of furnace manufacturers have rebate programs for their new buyers. The offer normally translates to instant discounts. Therefore, you are guaranteed a significant reduction in the furnace purchase price. With this in mind, it’s advisable to always ask about the existence of such offers before buying a new furnace. You can also ask your service technician about the deals. They may direct you to the right furnace seller.
