Explain why furnace efficiencies jump from 80% to 90%

What will be an ideal response?


Efficiencies above 80% cause condensation either in the furnace or in the vent. The flue gas for efficiencies below 90% is too hot for PVC vent. So the vent on a furnace between 80% and 90% must withstand high temperature and water, making it impractical.
