- Ventilation — Any furnace that is not vented with PVC (including a galvanized flue-vented boiler) signals that it is not 90% plus efficient.
- Intake/Exhaust System — Any furnace that is not a two-pipe intake and exhaust system (a one-pipe system) is inefficient.
- Thermostat — A home that does not have a set back programmable thermostat could be a gas hog as well.
- Cleanliness — Finally, hogs are known for being dirty. One of the most obvious signs of a gas hog is a dirty furnace and filter.
