If you have an interest in heating efficiency, you may have come across the term AFUE, which stands for Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency. This metric indicates the efficiency with which a heating system converts fuel into heat. In a way, it’s similar to the miles-per-gallon measure used for vehicles.
AFUE, or Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency, is measured in percentages. For instance, in a heating system with 84 AFUE, 84 percent of the heating oil consumed is utilized for heating the home, while the remaining percentage is lost. Modern oil-fired furnaces typically have AFUE ratings that can reach 90%.
However, a furnace that has been in use for over a decade may have significantly lost its efficiency over time. It’s possible that your old furnace’s Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) could be reduced to the low 60s. As you can imagine, arranging for a replacement of the oil furnace – and thereby improving your AFUE – can have a remarkable impact on reducing fuel usage.
