As I recall, the latest thing in furnaces is modulating (the furnace can turn it's flame size down to suit the heat load) condensing (they are able to recover the 15% of energy in the water vapor that would otherwise go up the chimney) or ModCon furnaces for short.

There are also water heaters & tankless water heaters that do the same thing.

But, with all the EcoWork (new word?) you have done, your heat loss should be much more gradual.
