Now's the time to use the furnace as the weather gets colder. If you're planning to upgrade an old, inefficient model with a [furnace replacement](https://bc.rodenhiser.com/rodenhiser-blog/replacing-furnace-features-consider.html), consider a variable speed furnace, which provides high efficiency with a variable speed fan. [![variable speed furnace](https://bc.rodenhiser.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Warm-lady-on-floor.jpg)](http://shutterstock.com) There are significant benefits from using this type of furnace: - **Precise airflow -** Unlike traditional furnaces which are either on or off, the fan of a variable speed furnace can run on low or high, depending on the heating needs of your home at the time. This [variable speed blower](https://bc.rodenhiser.com/rodenhiser-blog/variable-speed-blower-motor-improves-efficiency.html) allows the home to maintain a more consistent temperature by running the furnace only as much as is needed. - **Reduced noise -** Due to its ability to speed up and down, the furnace makes less sound, which can be a big difference between older and newer models. - **Lower energy costs -** When the furnace runs at a lower speed, it uses less electricity. That means your monthly energy bills are lowered while warm air is circulated through the house. ***Our goal is to help educate our customers about energy and home comfort issues (specific to HVAC systems).  For more information about variable speed furnaces* ***and other HVAC topics, download our free [Home Comfort Solutions Guide](https://bc.rodenhiser.com/download-the-home-comfort-solutions-guide.html).***** ***Rodenhiser Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning* *serves the Route 495/128 area of Massachusetts.*  *[Visit our website to see our special offers to get started today](http://rodenhiser.com/)!*** *Image via [Shutterstock.com](http://Shutterstock.com)* ## Navigation - [Rodenhiser Home Services](https://bc.rodenhiser.com/) - [Rodenhiser Plumbing Services](https://bc.rodenhiser.com/plumber-framingham.html) - [Rodenhiser Heating Services](https://bc.rodenhiser.com/furnace-framingham.html) - [Rodenhiser Cooling Services](https://bc.rodenhiser.com/air-conditioning-framingham.html) - [Rodenhiser Electrical Services](https://bc.rodenhiser.com/framingham-electricians.html) - [Rodenhiser Home Services: Book Online](https://bc.rodenhiser.com/call-rodenhiser/book-online.html) - [Rodenhiser Remodeling Services](https://bc.rodenhiser.com/remodels/bathroom-remodeling-framingham.html) - [Rodenhiser Home Services: Reviews](https://bc.rodenhiser.com/rodenhiser-heating.html) ## Company information - Rodenhiser Home Services - [https://bc.rodenhiser.com](https://bc.rodenhiser.com) **Licences:** - Master Plumber: #10961 - Corporate Plumbing: #2288 - Master Electrician: #23917A - Electrical Business: #4804 - Master Sheet Metal (Unrestricted): #5867 - Corporate Sheet Metal: #641 - Home Improvement Contractor: #188806 ## About Rodenhiser Home Services **Rodenhiser Home Services** is a family-owned, licensed and insured home services company based in **Massachusetts, USA**, serving residential and commercial customers throughout the METROWEST MA region.
