Best Answer

They are both energy efficient units if they are of the newer thermostatically controlled units, generally a 220 volt system may draw less amps while setting on a lower temp range but again you should be able to view its electrical values at the time of shopping for one, ask for the efficiency rating charts for each unit.

No, watts which is how you are billed for electricity = volts x amps. The 220 volt system will use 1/2 the amps of the 110 volt, but since the voltage is doubled the watts are the same. 5 amps x 220 = 1100 watts and 10 amps x 110 also = 1100 watts.

Is it more cost efficient to buy a furnace and air conditioner at the same time?

It may or may not be more cost efficient to buy a furnace and air conditioner at the same time. It depends on what kind of setup you have and what kind of setup you want. Will they be using the same parts or the same duct work. Do you need a new furnace? Do you need a new air conditioner? If you need one will you be needing the other soon? Are you going to need to make changes for both? If you need both and both use the same duct work, the answer is yes. If both will need updated electrical and plumbing, the answer is yes. If you are going to need to pay a double delivery charge if you get the two delivered separately, the answer is yes. Otherwise, the answer is no.
