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.
