Furnace efficiency

If the exhaust pipe on the furnace is white plastic the furnace is at least 90% efficient. If the exhaust pipe is metal, the furnace is only in the 80% range.

Look in the attic for insulation, measure the thickness & post the thickness & type of insulation and we should be able to give you an 'R' value. If the house is over a crawl space or unheated basement, check also the insulation under the floor.
