Residential Gas Furnaces
Turn to the experts at Medina Heating and Air Conditioning for helpful guidance when choosing your next gas furnace. Natural gas is the most common fuel source for home furnace systems, and as technology has advanced, so have the efficiency ratings of gas furnaces. We’ll evaluate your specific needs and guide you through the many options available, helping you find just the right fit for your long-term comfort.
But choosing a gas furnace is only the beginning. Your gas furnace requires expert installation to reach its full operating potential. With over 20 years of installation experience, you’ll get the most from your investment when you choose the certified installers at Medina Heating and Air Conditioning.
Residential Heat Pumps
For homeowners looking for an all-electric, high efficiency, year-round system, a heat pump from Medina Heating and Air Conditioning is an ideal solution. Heat pumps heat your home in the winter and cool it in the summer. In the winter, a heat pump pulls heat energy from outside air and transfers it into your home; in the summer, it reverses itself, pulling heat energy from inside your home and transferring it outside.
Heat pump systems are typically comprised of two parts: an outdoor unit similar to a central air conditioner and an indoor unit called an air handler. A properly sized air handler effectively circulates both warm and cool air, making less work for your outside unit.
For moderate temperatures, an all-electric heat pump is an excellent solution. The addition of an electric heater to your air handler provides the extra heat needed to keep you warm when temperatures drop below 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Your Medina Heating and Air Conditioning technician will explain your options to find the most efficient system for your home.

Residential Dual Fuel Hybrid Systems
Dual fuel (or hybrid) systems from Medina Heating and Air Conditioning combine the efficiency of a heat pump with the heating capacity of a gas furnace. Utilizing two energy sources — electricity and fossil fuel — a dual fuel system switches back and forth to whichever source is more efficient under current weather conditions to provide long lasting comfort in your home.
With a dual fuel system, you benefit from an electric heat pump’s high efficiency comfort throughout much of the year, even into the cooler months of Fall. When temperatures dip below the heat pump’s operating efficiency, the system will switch to the gas furnace to keep you warm through the coldest months of the year. Once temperatures begin to rise, the heat pump takes over, using the blower on your furnace to move air throughout your home for optimum comfort.

Single Stage vs. Two Stage Variable Speed
Single stage furnaces operate at one heat output level (BTU), cycling either on or off, while two stage furnaces offer low heat and high heat output levels. This means that in milder temperatures, a two stage furnace’s low heat output level uses less fuel to keep you comfortable, saving you money.
Understanding Efficiency
Efficiency ratings measure the percentage of fuel that is actually converted into
heat for your home. The AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) is the most widely used rating. Beginning January 1, 1992, the US Department of Energy determined that all furnaces sold in the US must have a minimum AFUE of 78%. Manufacturers met the challenge with higher quality materials and improved heat exchange design, and today gas furnaces are nearing 100% efficiency. Choose the highest efficiency system you can afford, and stop spending money on fuel that goes right out the flue!
The Savings Add Up!
With savings like these, you can see that investing in a high-efficiency heating system pays off quickly, and a well-maintained unit will continue to save you money for years to come.
