What is Heating?
Heating is the equipment or system used to provide heat to a house or commercial building.
Types of Heating Systems
- Furnaces (forced air): Most popular heating system that uses electric, gas or propane to heat air that is blown through ducts.
- Boilers (hydronic water/steam): Heats water that is circulated through radiators or baseboards.
- Heat Pumps (electric transfer): Heats or cools air that is transferred from outside the home.
- Ductless Mini-Splits: Moves heat through indoor (air handler) and outdoor units through refrigerant in copper tubes.
