Heating Systems
Homes and businesses throughout the US use forced-air or hot water for their space heating needs. This is accomplihed through the use of one of the three most popular heating systems: boilers, furnaces, or heat pumps. These systems can also come in variety of types, including oil, natural gas, and electric.
Boilers
Boilers are hot water heating systems - they distribute heat through hot water or steam. That hot water (or steam) is circulated throughout the building via pipes that lead from the boiler to various radiators and other devices. The boiler's use of water is one of the reasons many plumbers offer heating services. Today, many "Plumbing & Heating" companies specialize in all heating systems to meet the demand brought about by alternative heating methods.
Furnaces & Heat Pumps
Furnaces are hot air heating systems. They distribute heat through forced air. That warm air is circulated throughout the building via ducts.
Heat pumps are also a forced air system. However, they use the same refrigerant cycle as an air conditioning system - reversing the cycle of an air conditioner to distribute heat during colder months. That's why many homeowers have a single central cooling and heating system serviced by a single air conditioning / heating contractor.
Oil-to-Gas Conversion
There have been great advancements in boiler and furnace technology over the years. Many homeowners and businesses choose oil-to-gas conversion to save money in the long run when replacing their older boiler and furnace systems, as well as choosing newer energy-efficient systems.
When heating their homes, the average U.S household spends more than $700 annually on natural gas and $1,700 annually on heating oil.
Before replacing your boiler or furnace, have a heating contractor help you choose the right size for your heating needs. Don't waste money on a bigger furnace or boiler than you need. New high-efficiency furnaces should also have high electrical efficiency; also consider multi-speed or variable speed fan motors and electric pilot lights.
Consider a high-efficiency boiler that can replace your traditional water heater too. Many newer space heating boiler systems can replace separate water heater systems with an indirect tank attached to the new boiler system.
