When cold weather hits South Jersey, your furnace becomes one of the most important appliances in your home. If you’re replacing an old system or building a new home, choosing the right furnace can make a big difference in your comfort, energy efficiency, and long-term costs. At Bovio Rubino Service, we’ve been helping local homeowners find the perfect heating solutions since 1974—and we’re here to guide you through this important decision.
Understand Your Heating Needs
Before diving into brands and models, it’s important to evaluate your home’s heating needs. Consider the size of your home, your insulation levels, ceiling height, and window types. A furnace that’s too large will short cycle and wear out faster, while one that’s too small won’t keep your home warm. Our expert technicians at Bovio Rubino Service can perform a proper load calculation to determine the right size unit for your space.
Furnace Types: Gas, Oil, or Electric?
Gas furnaces are popular in South Jersey due to their high efficiency and lower operating costs. They’re a reliable option for most homes with access to natural gas.
Oil furnaces are often found in older homes and provide powerful heat, but they require on-site fuel storage and regular deliveries.
Electric furnaces are clean and safe, with low installation costs—but they may be more expensive to run, especially during peak winter months.
Each type has its pros and cons. Our team will help you weigh your options based on your home setup and energy preferences.
Consider Efficiency Ratings
Furnace efficiency is measured by its AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) rating. The higher the rating, the more efficient the furnace. Look for systems with at least 90% AFUE to get the most from your investment. High-efficiency models may cost more upfront, but they can save you money on utility bills year after year.
Smart Features & Comfort Options
Today’s furnaces come with a variety of features that improve both comfort and convenience. Options like variable-speed blowers, two-stage heating, and smart thermostat compatibility can give you better temperature control and quieter operation. At Bovio Rubino Service, we’ll help you compare models and features so you can choose what matters most for your lifestyle.
Professional Installation Matters
Even the best furnace won’t perform properly if it’s installed incorrectly. Our certified team ensures every furnace installation is completed to the highest standards—giving you peace of mind, better performance, and lasting comfort. We also offer financing options to help make your investment more manageable.
