Choosing the Right Heat Pump or Replacement Services
In the majority of homes in our area, heat is provided by a heat pump or forced air furnace. Here’s a look at both:
Furnaces
Manufacturers produce furnaces that run on natural gas, fuel oil, or propane. Most furnaces burn natural gas since it is safe, cost-effective, and widely available.
Comparing the efficiency of different furnace models can be easily accomplished by using the Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) standard. An AFUE rating is a numerical representation of the economy of the appliance while in operation. For example, a 98 AFUE-rated furnace exhausts only two percent of total amount of the fuel it uses as waste gas.
Heat Pumps
In the cooling mode, a heat pump functions according to the principles of the refrigeration cycle, just like an air conditioner. The difference is that heat pumps incorporate a reversing valve, so the refrigerant can flow in both directions. This means a heat pump can provide both heating and cooling from a single system. Heat pumps operate beautifully in climates like ours, providing reliable, affordable heating and cooling year-round.
Complete Heating Repairs and 24/7 Emergency Services
