j Based on a natural gas rate of $1.10/Therm. Actual realized savings can vary significantly
based on a number of changing factors including, but not limited to, fuel prices, climate,
building use or construction, etc.
k Compares 93% efficient against 65% seasonal efficient gravity vented and 78% seasonal
efficient power vented.
Use 3500 for Alaska and Canada.
GAS-FIRED, SEPARATED COMBUSTION, HIGH-EFFICIENCY CONDENSING
j Savings are realized by comparing the Effinity
93®
BTU/hr output to a 78% seasonally efficient
power-vented heater. Savings were determined by applying appropriate degree days at
65 degrees indoor design temperature under full year, 24/7 operation to each state's 2012
average price/therm of gas.
