Heating System Basics

It’s good to understand your heating system and how it works, and to make informed decisions when it’s time for a system replacement.

A heating system has three basic components.

1. The heat source generates heat either with fuel or electricity, and its efficiency is key to how well your system operates.
2. The heating distribution system sends heat to the rooms in the home, and includes ductwork or another means to distribute the heat.
3. The thermostat is used to determine how much heat is generated and when.

The three most common types of heating systems are forced air, boilers, and heat pumps.

Forced air systems use the furnace to generate heat and the heat is distributed through a  ductwork system. A blower pushes the air through the ducts, and it enters rooms of the house through registers. The same ductwork system can carry hot or cool air.

A boiler is a container of water, which is heated to produce steam and then pumped to radiators throughout the house. They are typically more expensive than a forced air system, but produce a very comfortable heat and better air quality.

Heat pumps take heat from the outside of the home to the inside and have become very popular due to their energy efficiency.

When choosing a heating system, you should consider both budget and efficiency. You may pay more upfront for a highly efficient system, but you’ll save money on your energy bills in the long run. Our professional technicians can help you decide on the right system for your home.

Heating Maintenance

It’s important to maintain your furnace to extend its life. You can do a few things yourself including changing the filter monthly, cleaning your air vents, and keeping the area around your furnace clean and clear of your possessions.

An annual tune-up can also keep your heating system running smoothly and efficiently for many years to come. We offer heating maintenance plans that include a heating tune-up every year.
