- The existing heating system is rather old
- Each year it is getting more costly to maintain the furnace
- The burner flame is yellow, rather than blue
- The furnace is becoming noisy
- Utility bills are increasing over time
- The thermostat is set at high but some rooms are colder than others
If these situations apply to you, then call our professional general contractors to discuss furnace repair, installation, replacement and maintenance services.
How A Furnace Works
The main types of heating systems are hot water boilers, electric heat pumps, and forced air furnaces. Furnaces may use electricity, gas, or propane as a fuel source. Gas is much more efficient than electricity so it should be a top choice if you have gas lines already connected to your home.
Using return ducts, furnaces are used to take the indoor air, heat it and then deliver the warm air back into the home via supply ducts.
There are two types of furnaces:
(1) combustion – mostly using natural gas
(2) electric
Both furnace types have similar parts for the blower and both use ductwork to disperse air. The difference is in heat generation.
Combustion Furnace
Pilot ignites burner that warms up the heat exchanger. The warm air on the outside of the exchanger blows into the home while toxic combustion byproducts flow through the exchanger out of the home via ducts.
Electric Furnace
Metal coils are electrified to generate heat. When generated heat reaches the proper temperature, it is blown into the living spaces.
Gas furnaces and electric furnaces are the most common ones, but we are happy to work with other varieties of heating systems, such as electric baseboards, fuel oil furnaces, forced air systems, including ductwork, heat pumps, propane heating systems, radiant heating systems (floors, radiators or wall panels).
Benefits of Furnace Installation
Forced air furnaces have many advantages over other home heating methods. Here below are some of the main benefits and advantages of forced air furnaces:
Air quality
Furnaces and other forced air systems allow for proper conditioning of the air. In addition to filtering air, you can install humidification and air cleaning systems. Furnaces are equipped with humidification – removing indoor air contaminants and humidity problems that may cause health issues or property damage.
Affordability
After the initial investment, forced air furnaces have low repair, maintenance, and replacement costs. Known for their longevity and reliability, furnaces have an average usage expectancy of 20+ years. With ongoing professional maintenance, furnaces will continue to operate at high efficiency for many years. Gas furnaces are affordable and easy to maintain.
Compatibility
Forced air furnaces work with central air conditioners. Using the same ductwork, the forced air system can also double as an air conditioner. Natural gas ducts may be used for water heaters, ovens, grills, fire pits, and any other heat appliance.
Ease of Maintenance
Furnaces are commonly used and it is easy to find parts for furnace repair or replacement.
Energy Efficiency
Forced air furnaces are high-efficiency appliances. Most forced-air furnaces use natural gas, which historically is a rather affordable and clean source of fuel. Over years, technology and innovation have resulted in even greater efficiencies. Gas furnaces have over 90% efficiency ratings. Electric furnaces have up to 100% efficiency ratings.
Faster Heating
Furnaces deliver heat as soon as they are turned on. Natural gas heats quickly, allowing living spaces to heat quickly.
Reliability
Furnaces don’t break down as often allowing for significant savings on repair and maintenance services.
Use of Existing Ducts
If ductwork is already installed, then you can connect a new furnace without needing to install extra pipes, radiators, and baseboard heaters.
Variety and Flexibility
Furnaces come in different models and sizes that run on various types of fuel. You can always find a furnace that is ideal for your home.
Smaller Size
Even powerful furnaces can come in rather small sizes, enabling flexibility of installation in limited spaces.
Safety
Furnaces are equipped with multiple safety switches to prevent fires, toxic fumes, and carbon monoxide (CO) from entering your living spaces. As an additional safety precaution, it is important to install CO detectors.
Carbon Monoxide Detector Installation
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a leading cause of poisoning. It is a dangerous, colorless, odorless gas that humans can’t detect. Carbon monoxide detectors are essential for safety and a must-have for homes.
It is important to install a CO detector on every level of the home and especially in bedrooms. Our professional technicians will take care of all installation needs, with the highest safety considerations and in compliance with building code requirements.
