   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 compared to a mid-efficiency forced-air or forced-draft furnace, is the ...
