High-efficiency furnaces (oil) criteria

  1. Able to satisfy the criteria for EnergyStar Canada: for the purposes of this directory this is considered an authoritative source of furnace test results.

  2. Seasonal Energy Utilisation Efficiency [SEUE] of over 92% (higher than the EnergyStar requirement of 85%, so not all EnergyStar approved furnaces will qualify for the directory)

  3. a variable-speed, electronically commutating d.c. motor for the fan.

The SEUE should be tested in accordance with Canadian Standard CAN/CSA-B212-00.

Full current lists of furnaces meeting our criteria may be found in the "recommended models" section.
