What is a Modulating Furnace?
A modulating model is a type of gas furnace that slowly increases and decreases its temperature in accordance with the temperature set on your thermostat. Modulating furnaces are able to adjust the temperature in fine increments, allowing for the most accurate and responsive temperature control. Because of this, it is much easier and faster to achieve a comfortable temperature in your home than it is with a conventional gas furnace.

Perhaps the most significant change you will see when you install a modulating furnace is the decrease in your energy consumption as well as the comfort in your home. Modulating furnaces significantly reduce the amount of energy you are using because they push less heat into your home on a more constant basis and respond immediately to fluctuations in temperature. When you upgrade to a modulating furnace, you can feel good about reducing your carbon footprint, and you can enjoy a decrease in your monthly energy bills.
