Enegry Effcient Furnances Suck !

In 2009 I had a free efficient furnace installed via
weatherization via a state program. Yes, it works fine if the temperature outside stays above 30 degrees Fahrenheit but  when it is lower than that the furnace does nothing but blow cold air. I realize now on furnaces anyway when it says enegry efficient it is just a gimmick.

I don't mind the self-lit auto pilot but when I looked at the burner itself it look like someone just turn on
all burners of a gas stove top. The flames in the burner are not very high. On my old furnace the flames were about 3 feet tall and not 6 inches tall.Also on my old furnace  when I set the temperature to 76 degrees Fahrenheit it stayed at 76. But on my energy efficient furnance now the temperature says 61 even tough I have the thermostat set at 76.

Fortunately I had the foresight to buy a ceramic towering space heater. The ceramic types are more safer than the other kinds but still keep it 2 feet away from everything and plug it in an outlet that has nothing else plugged into it. Make sure the plug fits snug  inside the outlet and not loose this can cause a fire and do not use extension cords.

I am going to buy another ceramic tower heater one for my bedroom and  use another for my living room, but I am not going to run them both at the same time just the one in the room I'm in.I am doing it that way to avoid carrying one unit room to room.

If you have a space heater and see glowing wires inside you're better off not using it and switch to the ceramic type.



What does 90% energy efficient mean: It means 90 cents of every dollar is use to heat your home and ten cents  of every dollar is just thrown out the window.
