Estimated reading time: 1 min

The easiest way to find what you need to replace your current furnace is by locating your current unit’s model number. First, locate your data sticker. For furnaces, this is usually located on the inside of the cabinet door, located by removing the top service panel. It can also be found on the inside or outside wall of the cabinet.

Once located, you will see M/N, prod, mod no, or Model Number. Next to this is your model number that you can easily use to search for your new unit.

If you need to know your furnace’s BTU/hr, this is listed next to the labels input/output. You can use this number to calculate your efficiency by dividing your furnace input by furnace output.

For example, when looking at the graphic, Our input is 70,000 BTU/hr and output is 57,000, making the furnace efficiency 81%.
