ilding a new home? If you’ve had a home built in the past, you understand that it’s a huge project. You’ll have dozens of important decisions to make from color of the carpet to how the kitchen should look. There is one choice that may be more important than the rest and that’s heating systems. You’ll have five different heating systems to pick from:
- Hydronic
- Radiant heat
- Forced-air
- Steam radiant
- Geothermal
Forced-air is the most common in North America. This article will focus on forced-air heating systems.
How Does Forced-Air Heating Work?
The furnace is the center of any forced-air system. The furnace is usually found in the basement. It pushes warm air through a series of air ducts that lead to different rooms in a home.
Where does this air originate from? A condenser draws in the air and transfers it to the furnace.
The Advantages of Forced-Air
- Quick heat delivery: Forced-air is a very fast way to heat a home. Distance between a certain room and the furnace will have a negligible effect on how quickly that room is heated.
- Versatile: It’s the only heating system that works side by side with an air conditioning system. The heating ducts can be used for both AC and heating.
- Reliable: Forced-air units are known as being reliable.
- Affordable: Compared to other heating systems, forced-air units are a bargain to install.
