Mid Efficiency Furnaces Phase Out
Federal Energy Efficiency Regulations (Amendment # 10) published on December 24, 2008 in Canada Gazette II includes the following: " Residential gas furnaces manufactured on or after December 31, 2009 will be required to meet a minimum AFUE of 90%."
Comment. Basically it means that only high efficiency furnaces will manufactured starting next year.
2009 Last Year for Mid Efficiency Furnace
Mid Efficiency Furnace Phase Out at the End of 2009
High efficiency furnaces require running of 2 plastic vent from the furnace to the outside. In many houses running vents is not practical because the furnace room is located in the middle of the finished basement. A more practical solution would be to install a mid efficiency furnace and to connect it to the existing chimney.
Mid efficiency furnaces will be sorely missed by many home owners.
