FAQ

  1. What is AFUE?
    AFUE stands for Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency. It is a measure of how efficiently a gas furnace converts fuel into usable heat over a typical heating season. The higher the AFUE rating, the more efficient the furnace.

  2. Can the gas furnace be converted to use LP (liquefied petroleum) gas?
    Yes, the gas furnace is LP convertible. Follow the instructions provided in the user manual for proper conversion procedures.

  3. How often should I clean or replace the air filters?
    The air filters should be inspected regularly and cleaned or replaced as recommended by the manufacturer. In general, it is recommended to clean or replace the filters every 1-3 months depending on the usage and air quality.
