High efficiency gas furnaces have a rating between 90% and 97% from the American Society of Heating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). Furnace effectiveness is determined by a percentage score known as Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency, or AFUE. The percentage signifies level of energy transformed into heat and the quantity lost. As this rate goes up, operating costs go down.
