Who it's for
Heating a home that needs about 58,000 BTU/h of delivered heat, replacing an older oil furnace.
The standout number
AFUE 86.2% — a non-condensing furnace; efficient models reach 95–98%.
The catch
At AFUE 86.2% it wastes more fuel up the flue than a 95%+ condensing furnace — worth the math where winters are long.

Rebates & incentives
High-efficiency gas furnaces (95%+ AFUE) sometimes qualify for utility rebates, but the bigger incentive money in 2026 targets heat pumps, not furnaces. The federal 25C credit expired December 31, 2025. Check what applies where you live on our rebates page, and compare a furnace's running cost against a heat pump on our operating-cost calculator.

Frequently asked questions
How efficient is the DETTSON AMP070SD-CAR*?
Its AFUE is 86.2%, meaning 86.2% of the oil it burns becomes heat in your home and the rest goes up the flue. Below 90% it is a non-condensing furnace; the high-efficiency class runs 95–98% AFUE.
What does the DETTSON AMP070SD-CAR* cost to run?
About $19.49 per MMBtu of delivered heat at U.S. average oil prices, roughly 65% less than electric resistance heat. Your local fuel price changes the number — run it in our operating-cost calculator.
How big is the DETTSON AMP070SD-CAR*?
It delivers about 58 MBTUH (58,000 BTU/h) of heat from a 70 MBTUH input. Furnace sizing should follow a Manual J load calculation, not a rule of thumb — an oversized furnace short-cycles and wastes fuel.
Does the DETTSON AMP070SD-CAR* have a variable-speed blower?
The record doesn't flag an ECM blower for this model, so assume a standard PSC blower motor unless the spec sheet says otherwise.
Where can I buy the DETTSON AMP070SD-CAR*?
Furnaces are installed by a licensed HVAC contractor, who runs the gas line, sets the venting, pulls the permit and commissions it. Get a few installed quotes and compare the total, not just the equipment price.

Heating cost ($/MMBtu), savings and percentile figures are computed by Verified HVAC Data from published ratings and EIA U.S. average energy prices — see our methodology. We publish no star ratings and take no payment for placement. "Not published" means the source registry doesn't disclose it — we never fill a spec with a guess.
