Heating Systems
Homes and businesses throughout the USA use forced-air or hot water for their heating needs through one of the three most popular heating systems:
- Boilers
- Furnaces
- 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 is circulated throughout the property via pipes. Because boilers use water and pipes, many plumbers also offer heating services.
Today, many "Plumbing & Heating" companies service all heating systems, in addition to boilers, to meet alternative heating demands.
Furnaces & Heat Pumps
Furnaces are a hot air heating system. They distribute heat through forced air that is circulated throughout the property via ducts.
Like furnaces, heat pumps also use forced air, however, they use the same refrigerant cycle as an air conditioning system.
Heat pumps reverse the cycle of an air conditioner to distribute heat during colder months.
Many homeowners have an air conditioning unit with a heat pump serviced by a single air conditioning and heating contractor.
