This is a dual Rheem high-efficiency gas furnace setup we installed on a recent new build here in Anchorage. Two units, zoned to heat different areas of the home independently so each space stays at the right temperature without overworking one system. Most homes only need one furnace, but the same setup and principles apply either way.
What these do:
A high-efficiency gas furnace pulls in cold air, heats it through a heat exchanger, and pushes warm air through your ductwork. High-efficiency models recover more heat from the combustion process, which means less gas used and lower monthly bills.
A few things to watch for:
- Weak airflow from vents can mean a dirty filter, which should be checked every 1 to 3 months
- If the furnace is short cycling (turning on and off frequently) it could be an airflow issue or a failing component
- A yellow or flickering flame instead of a steady blue flame is worth a call to a technician
- Any new sounds like banging, rattling or squealing usually mean something needs attention before it becomes a bigger problem
October is the last easy window to get your system looked at before winter demand hits. Don’t wait until it’s already cold.
