I know I asked this some were else on here but I cant remember were so here it goes. What is a Epa white tag or yellow tag mean? Does it mean a certain percentage of efficency, Eg 70% or 80%. Is there a Site were you can see the actual tags that are installed on the furnace, so I could get numbers for a comparision.
 
so it doesnt mean the furnaces are 70% efficenint but that they are 70% more effiecent than what exactly? To me the certification doesn't tell you much, It would be nice if it said that furnace X was 70% efficent and that stove Y was 68%. That way it would be easier to compare them.
