When to Choose 80% vs. 96% AFUE in Eagan
Eagan averages about 7,981 heating degree days annually — one of the colder metro markets. At that level of usage, the efficiency premium of a 96% AFUE unit typically pays back in 3–5 years. Key considerations:
- 80% AFUE is appropriate for vacation properties, rental units, or homes you plan to sell in under 3 years
- 96% AFUE is better for primary residences, especially with current CenterPoint gas rates
- 96% units require PVC exhaust/intake venting — budget $150–$350 if your existing setup uses B-vent or chimney
