Greenhouse Gas Emissions Continue To Climb

                                               







It is essential for all countries to reduce their greenhouse gas production in order to prevent the disastrous effects of global warming and climate change. Unfortunately greenhouse gas emissions continue their upward climb annually and agreements such as the Kyoto Protocol have had little effect on this continuing increase. Use of high efficiency gas furnaces and elimination of coal burning power plants would greatly reduce greenhouse gas production. Here are figures for the top greenhouse gas emitters as listed by Wikipedia: 


List of countries by 2010 emissions estimates

CDIAC released preliminary 2010 estimates for a limited number of countries. Following table is listing annual CO2 emissions estimates (in thousands of CO2 metric tonnes) from these estimates for top emitting countries.

 The above list is reproduced from Wikipedia

The major offenders are China and The USA which between them produce more than two thirds of the world greenhouse gas emissions.Unfortunately neither of these countries has entered into any agreement to reduce such emissions. Until China and the USA are prepared to reduce significantly their production of greenhouse gases any efforts by other nations will have very limited effect.

Why Buy A High Efficiency Gas Furnace?

Why should I buy a high efficiency gas furnace you ask? a medium efficency furnace costs a bout $1000 less and surely it will heat my house just as well will it not?

Well yes and no. A medium efficiency furnace will heat your house but it will not provide the even comfortable heat that a high efficiency furnace does.

It will also cost you considerably more on your monthly heating bill if you have a medium efficiency furnace. A high efficency furnace turns 90% to 97% of the gas burnt,into heat for the home.A medium efficiency furnace converts only up to 78% to 85% of the gas into heat. That difference of 12% means that you will use that much more gas every month and your bill will be that much higher.

The price of natural gas is likely to go up in future years so the saving will be even bigger as the price rises. Obviously it will not take long to pay ythe extra cost of the high efficiency furnace. After it is paid for the savings are all straight into your bank account and will amount to thousands of dollars over the course of the years.

The logical decision is to pay a bit more for a high efficiency furnace now and reap the savings rewards in the future.\

High Efficiency Furnace Ratings

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.

A few primary factors are likely involved in furnace cost: overall performance, size, and service provider. Hence, furnace size must fit into your home and to your personality. The actual cost of installing the appliance varies according to the work load and resources needed. The furnaces are generally vented using an outer wall and cool air is drawn into the furnace by way of plastic piping.

In the event your current furnace is older than your oldest son who is already 15 years old, well maybe it’s the perfect time to get a new high efficiency furnaces. This can help you to improve your home heating. This high efficiency furnace is suitable in places which struggle with extreme winter seasons. But if you live in a warmer place you don't need to spend money on this, a mid-efficiency heater probably will do the job for you.
