The biggest difference between a normal furnace and a high efficiency furnace is its energy star label. Only the government can administer an energy star label. The government uses this label to rank a wide variety of home appliances based off of their efficiency. An AFUE label is another great indicator of how efficient a furnace is. AFUE stands for, annual fuel utilization efficiency, and is represented by a percentage. The higher the AFUE percentage, the more efficient the furnace. No furnace can operate at 100% efficiency, but some come close, and operate at 98% efficiency.
