In an average 2500 square foot home (no basement) all of the air in the house passes through the furnace approximately 4.5 times an hour. With the Enerzone HF 240 or HF 360 in a by pass configuration, treating about 1/3 of this air continuously, close to 100% of the air will be cleaned every hour. This means the Enerzone HF 240 or HF 360 will clean the air in an average home 24 times each day

It will have no effect on the efficiency of your heating system.
