New furnaces for Kansas homes
In Kansas, with IECC zone 5 winters and long heating seasons, a 95%+ AFUE condensing furnace usually makes the most sense. The fuel savings add up quickly when the furnace runs for months. Condensate lines and PVC vents need protection from freezing and drifting snow.
Common heating fuels in Kansas: natural gas, electricity, propane. Propane homes need a furnace with an LP conversion kit and correct gas pressure set at start-up. Permit and inspection rules are set locally. Your installer should pull the mechanical permit where required.
