2. Forced-air gas - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced-air_gas

   High-efficiency condensing furnaces condense the water vapor (one of the by-products of gas combustion) and extract the latent heat to pre-heat the incoming furnace airflow, using a second heat exchanger. [2] This increases the efficiency (energy delivered into the building vs. heating value of gas purchased) to over 90%.

3. Furnace (central heating) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furnace_(central_heating)

   The fourth category of furnace is the high-efficiency condensing gas furnace. High efficiency condensing gas furnaces typically achieve between 90% and 98% AFUE. [3] A condensing gas furnace includes a sealed combustion area, combustion draft inducer and a secondary heat exchanger. The primary gain in efficiency for a condensing gas furnace, as ...

   DOE estimates that this efficiency improvement, and the resulting lower gas bills, would save consumers $1.9 billion annually — or $500 over the lifetime of each new furnace.

5. Annual fuel utilization efficiency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annual_fuel_utilization...

   The annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE; pronounced 'A'-'Few' or 'A'-'F'-'U'-'E') is a thermal efficiency measure of space-heating furnaces and boilers.The AFUE differs from the true 'thermal efficiency' in that it is not a steady-state, peak measure of conversion efficiency, but instead attempts to represent the actual, season-long, average efficiency of that piece of equipment ...

6. Central heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_heating

   Considering the combined system of thermal power station and electric resistance heating, the overall efficiency will be less than for direct use of fossil fuel for space heating. [1] Some other buildings utilize central solar heating, in which case the distribution system normally uses water circulation.

7. Micro combined heat and power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_combined_heat_and_power

   The future of combined heat and power, particularly for homes and small businesses, will continue to be affected by the price of fuel, including natural gas. As fuel prices continue to climb, this will make the economics more favorable for energy conservation measures, and more efficient energy use, including CHP and micro-CHP.
