6 Heating Technologies For Every Type of Home

From cars to phones to dating, modern technology has had an impact on just about everything in our lives. Today’s heating systems are no exception. You can find a heating system suitable for every type of structure, residential or commercial.

They offer comfort and protection from health risks that are associated with indoor pollution, high humidity, and high energy costs. Many factors determine the heating system you use, such as the climate and area where you live and the size of your home to name a few.

Below are 6 different heating systems available to choose from. Today’s modern heating services like solar heating, geothermal heating, and heat pumps are some of the more dynamic ways to heat a space in the 21st Century.

New Solar Heating Wave

Solar heating systems use solar energy to heat a fluid and then carries the solar heat indoors or to a storage system to be used later. Solar heating uses accumulated heat energy from the sun on your roof.

A fan is installed on your roof is used to pull warm air to the roof and it is then sent through filters before distributing it throughout the house.

Advantages of solar heating are that it is very cost effective because it uses a tiny amount of electricity. If you care about the environment, this is the heating system you want to have.

What is Geothermal Heating?

Geothermal energy draws heat stored at the Earth’s center for both heating and cooling purposes. Geothermal heating systems offer savings on your monthly energy bill because it uses much less electricity than standard systems.

Another advantage to geothermal heating systems is that the parts for these heating and cooling systems are said to last more than fifty years. One drawback of geothermal heating systems is that installation costs can be high.

However, installation cost can be recovered in two to ten years. Geothermal pumps use coal-based electricity which is not ecologically acceptable fuel since it releases carbon dioxide that causes the global warming.

Using Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are an alternative to indoor heating and cooling. Using electricity, they make a cool space cooler and the warm space warmer. They move heat from the outside in, and in summer they move heat outdoors.

Heat pumps can also provide heating and cooling that is more affordable than the traditional heating or cooling devices. If you’re interested in their usability for your home, or heat-pump services, contact us right away.

Oil Heating

Oil heating uses liquid petroleum as a fuel source. It starts in a combustion chamber where the oil kindles and a heat exchanger heats the gases that pass through the components. Heat is then taken from the structure and is carried through the heat exchanger. The warm air then moves through ducts and is dispersed throughout the house.

Interested in Gas Heating?

Gas heating offers a reliable way to heat homes and businesses. Heating efficiency is about half of what electric heating costs. Natural gas is delivered from a forced-air system at high temperatures.

Using gas appliances can reduce energy costs and may utility providers offer rebates for additional savings. From hi-tech heating systems to moderately priced ones, gas heating meets the minimum efficiency criteria.

Electric Heating

If you live in a milder climate or where there is no gas heating alternative, electric heating your choice. They are long-lasting and require little maintenance. For excellent energy efficiency, consider an electric heat pump.

Electric heat pumps do double duty by cooling as well as heating your home. It provides the ability to install a furnace affordably. There is no need for outdoor venting and can be installed just about anywhere. Installation and maintenance are quick and easy.
