80% vs 96% AFUE for Zionsville
For most Zionsville homes, the 96% high-efficiency unit pays back its premium within 4-7 winters via the gas-bill savings. The 80% units are cheaper upfront ($1,200-$1,800 less installed) and still solid for shoulder-season homes or backup systems. We'll run the actual numbers — your gas-bill ROI — and recommend honestly.
