After deciding on a mortgage, one of the most difficult decisions for new homeowners is when and how to upgrade their home heating system. There are many different home heating fuels and types of equipment to consider. The skills you have learned in this chapter and the one before will help you make this tricky decision. Suppose that you are the new homeowner of a property with a 20-year-old standard-efficiency electric furnace in the basement. You also have an old electric hot water heater. You are considering replacing them with a high efficiency natural gas furnace and water heater. You have the following information: Cost of a new 96% high-efficiency gas furnace (including installation, taxes) …………. $5,700 Cost of a new hot water tank (including installation, inspection, taxes, and so on) ……. $1,200 Current total annual heating costs …………………………………………………………………………. $2,750 Cost of natural gas (average) ……………………………………………………………... $14.40 per gigajoule Cost of electricity (average) ……………………………………………………………………. $0.11452 per KwH Efficiency of your current furnace ……………………………………………………………………………… 75% Number of occupants ……………………………………………………………………………………………………... 2 Instructions Go to the website of the Office of Energy Efficiency, part of Natural Resources Canada, at www.nrcan.gc.ca/energy/offices-labs/office-energy-efficiency. Search for the Home Heating System Cost Calculator. Use the calculator to calculate your revised annual heating costs. Discuss the following: a. How long will it take you to recover the cost of the new furnace and hot water heater? b. What other factors do you need to consider when deciding whether to replace your current furnace and hot water heater with the newer furnace and hot water tank?
