What Is a Two-Stage Furnace?

Unlike one-stage furnaces, which run at 100% capacity at all times, two-stage furnaces can either run at 70% capacity or 100% capacity, depending on your heating needs. Because they are equipped with two power modes, two-stage furnaces are able to raise their capacity to 100% on cold days and lower their capacity to 70% on milder days. Typically, that means that the majority of the time these furnaces are set to run on low power mode.

Here is a simple breakdown of how multiple heat levels are possible: Two-stage furnaces have a valve that controls the burner. This valve controls the amount of fuel that enters your furnace. It can be fully open, partially open, or closed. Depending on how the valve is set, your furnace can either be operating at 100% capacity, 70% capacity, or 0% capacity (system is off).

What Are the Advantages of Installing a Two-Stage Furnace?

Tons of homeowners are making the switch to two-stage gas furnaces because of the many benefits they provide.

Some of the key advantages of this type of furnace include:

• Energy efficiency: Because these furnaces spend the majority of their time operating at low power, tons of homeowners see a significant drop in monthly utility bills.
• Improved air quality: While operating at low speed, a furnace has an easier time filtering out dust, dander, pollen, dirt, and other air contaminants from the air before it is circulated through the home. This results in a marked improvement in indoor air quality.
• Quiet operation: When operating at full power, furnaces can be quite loud. Luckily, since two-stage gas furnaces spend most of their time in low power mode, they operate without creating a disturbance.
• More even heating: Two-stage furnaces prevent temperature swings by running longer and heating the home more evenly.
