Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency Formula |

|
\( AFUE \;=\; \dfrac{ E_o }{ E_i } \cdot 100 \) (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) \( E_o \;=\; \dfrac{ AFUE \cdot E_i }{ 100 }\) \( E_i \;=\; \dfrac{ E_0 \cdot 100 }{ AFUE }\) |

Annual fuel utilization efficiency, abbreviated as AFUE, a dimensionless number, measure the efficiency of a gas furnace or boiler will operate over an entire heating season.
