Winter nights can be cold and damp, and a dependable heating system will keep your office or home warm and comfortable. To function properly, a furnace or heat pump should be installed and maintained by a skilled and experienced heating contractor. Significant gains in efficiency help dramatically reduce annual operating expenses. In fact, a new central furnace or heat pump can virtually pay for itself over the life of the equipment.

Choosing a Heating System

Heating system choices may be restricted by fuel availability, climate conditions and the cost of energy. In areas with severe winters, furnaces and radiant heating systems are usually the only viable options since heat pumps have temperature limitations.

  • Furnace: Furnaces burn fossil fuel to create heat. Most models run on natural gas since the fuel is abundant and relatively inexpensive. Propane and heating oil furnaces are not as popular since a storage vessel is required to hold the fuel. The efficiency of different furnace models is measured by using the Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating. Every furnace is assigned an AFUE number that identifies the percentage of fuel the furnace converts into thermal heat energy.
  • Radiant Heat: A radiant heating system provides an even flow of heat throughout your home and helps maintain a healthy humidity level. The system can be set up in a number of different ways, but the typical configuration includes a boiler, manifold and coils of plastic tubing installed underneath the floor. As the boiler heats the water, a pump circulates the liquid through the tubing grid. The heat is transferred directly into the flooring material and released uniformly through the room until the appropriate temperature is reached.
  • Heat Pump: Heat pumps share many of the same characteristics as air conditioners, but they are outfitted with a special device that allows the refrigerant to travel in either direction. This gives a heat pump the ability to supply both cooling and heating from a single system powered by electricity. Since heat pumps transfer thermal energy rather than create it, they are only appropriate in areas that enjoy mild winter weather.
