With any luck and good fortune, you'll never need to replace the furnace in your home as it will continue to heat your house, forever. Unfortunately, life simply doesn't work that way. When the time comes at which repairs are out of the question and your furnace needs an utter replacement, some factors come into play concerning your decision toward the new furnace you plan to have installed.
Square Footage
The bottom line toward which heating system is going to best serve your home is the square footage of space which is finished and requires heat. The standard of square footage is based on the modular paradigm of 8-foot ceilings. The real heat capacity is based on cubic feet of air to heat, so raised ceilings may require a different calculation, and corners or individual circumstances of any particular home may call for a different solution, but square footage is the primary, first, measurement to determine what size furnace you'll need to heat your home.
Heating Efficiency
In times of yore, there was a cooking fire in the kitchen and a community fire in the living room, the rest of the house just stayed warm because of the fires in the main rooms. By today's standards, each room needs to be kept at a consistent temperature while maintaining eco-friendly green design systems. Your contractor knows how to fill such needs with a knowledge of what codes require and personal experience about what will work best for your home.
Trust your contractor, he wants to do the job far beyond your expectations. The contractor also knows what code requires, and knows what works best for individual situations. You have to hire him, trust his advice.
