Types of Heating Systems

While there are many different types of heating systems, there is surely one that perfectly suits your home's unique characteristics--as well as your budget. When asking your Manchester KY heating installation professional which one he or she recommends, it's good to be informed on the various types so that you can better comprehend the information they provide you with. Here are a few different types of heating systems that they may suggest:

- Furnaces. Most American homes use furnaces to heat their homes.
- Boilers. Boilers specifically heat your home's water. Boiler systems distribute heat provided by a furnace into water.
- Heat pumps. These also double as air conditioners. In the winter, however, they take the outside air, heat it using electricity, and push it into your home.
- Gas-fired space heaters. These can be mounted on your wall or free-standing on the floor, but either way, they lack ductwork.

Be sure NOT to install unvented gas-fired heaters, because they are unhealthy and unsafe. Be sure to consult with your heating professional before installing a product that may not be safe!
