Hi,
Not really. With proper humidity you can lower the temp. which means
saving.


Yes.

Less gas consumption = more efficency?


No.

Efficiency for a furnace is defined somewhere and shouldn't be used
differently by a furnace salesman. It relates to how much heat is
produced for a given amount of fuel. If a humidifier increased
effiiciency, then my furnace that is 27 years old would have high
efficiency because I have installed a humidifier.
