SHOULD YOU GO WITH AFUE OR BTU?
AFUE
Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency: a higher AFUE rating means a higher efficiency unit. It measures the amount of heat actually delivered to your house compared to the amount of fuel that you must supply to the furnace. Thus, a furnace that has an 80% AFUE rating converts 80% of the fuel that you supply to heat -- the other 20% is lost out the chimney.
BTU
A British Thermal Unit (BTU) is the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree F. This is the standard measurement used to state the amount of energy that a fuel has as well as the amount of output of any heat generating device..
