2 stage furnace disadvantages.

It s a fairly simple concept when the furnace needs to come on it can heat at a minimum of two different levels. There aren t many disadvantages to a multi staged furnace compared to a single stage but the most apparent one is the added cost. Higher upfront costs two stage furnaces are more expensive to buy than single stage models. The good news is these new standards required a 46 watt reduction over the older style motors.

These motors were not new. You ll save on monthly heating bills but unless you live in a cold climate you might not recoup your investment as fast as you hope. By far though most two stage furnaces were sold with the older less efficient motors.
