AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) is a measure of the efficiency of a furnace in converting fuel energy to heat for a home. It is expressed as a percentage and reflects the ratio between the amount of heat produced and the total energy consumed by the furnace. The higher the AFUE, the less fuel is needed to produce heat since more of it is converted into useful heat returning to the home.

The minimum AFUE rating is 80, meaning that eight-tenths of every BTU (a unit of heat) used to run the furnace comes back as heat into the home. Furnaces with ratings between 90 and 93 percent are considered mid-efficiency models while those rated at 94 - 98.5% are high-efficiency systems, most commonly condensing furnaces.

Investing in high AFUE models can be extremely beneficial, not only due to lower fuel costs but also due to greater environmental conservation as they use less energy per hour than traditional ones. The difference between a mid-range rating and a high rating could amount to hundreds of dollars saved on energy expenses over the course of a year.
