Central Heating - Ducted Systems

What is it?

Central heating systems have a primary heating appliance, such as a furnace, typically located in your basement or garage. All furnaces consist of four main components:

- burners that burn fuel (natural gas) 
- heat exchanger
- blower, that pushes air into ductwork  
- flue, that acts as an exhaust for burnt by-products.

How it works?

Combustion gases are generated by the burners in your furnace and passed over a heat exchanger. Air from your home blows across the heat exchanger to be warmed. It is then blown through a system of ducts to distribute around your home.

During warm seasons your heating system works with your central air conditioning. Air is cooled as it’s blown over your air conditioning unit’s cooling coil, often attached to the furnace, and then sent over the same air ducts throughout your home. 

We can help you decide which system is right for you.
