What is a two-stage furnace?
So for a two-stage furnace, there is a low and second stage. Typically, your furnace will operate at a low stage. If there is a sudden change, such as a rise in cold, the furnace will turn on at full power.
Pros

- The models are designed for quieter operation, since the furnace does not turn on or off during the day, they are less damaging. A high-efficiency furnace may also be eligible for special government rebates.
