Divide the btu output rating by the btu input rating. Both of these values can be found on the furnace`s nametag.

It's a matter of efficiency. Many makes have different models that have up to 98% efficiency. Generally, if you're replacing an older furnace ( fifteen years or more) with a new one, it will qualify.
There are 3413 btu per kWh and 100,000 btu per therm of natural gas, these are constants. In order to give a correct answer the exact efficiency rating of the high efficiency furnace and the energy costs per kWh and therms would need to be known.
The efficiency rating is called annual fuel utilization efficiency or afue. For residential systems in the USA, the minimum is 80%. There is no standard for what is considered "high efficiency". The range of efficiencies goes up to about 96% for gas furnaces.
Mine is just like a slightly smaller regular home furnace. It keeps the mobile nice and warm,and I have no problem with it's efficiency.
Some questions to ask before purchasing a high-efficiency furnace are as follows: Is it safe to use? Is it cheap to maintain? Does it emit harmful gases? Are the spare parts readily available? Can one reduce energy bills?
There are many places to find gas furnace prices. One can look on sites like Furnace Price Guides, Century Gas Furnace, and Consumer Reports. One can also find gas furnace prices by going to a local heating supply store.
