Saving Energy with Efficient Residential Furnace Air Handlers: A Status Report and Program Recommendations
Report Number	A033
Author Info	Harvey M. Sachs and Sandy Smith
Details	Summary The air handlers of forced air gas furnaces provide the energy to move air through the furnace (and central air conditioner), and distribute it to the rooms of a house. The amount of electricity these require varies enormously, even within size categories, but averages about 3.4% of the site energy use of the furnace, or 10% of the source energy. Improving the motor and fan systems of residential furnaces and heat pumps promises substantial, cost-effective efficiency gains.
