Central heating systems have a primary heating appliance, such as a furnace, located inside your home. All furnaces consist of four main components: Burners that deliver and burn fuel, heat exchanger(s), a blower, a flue that acts as an exhaust for gaseous by-products.

Depending on your situation, region and needs, you can choose from heating systems running on either gas or electric as fuel, or a hybrid packaged system that can use both fuel types.

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 exhaust of the furnace, and then sent over the same air ducts throughout your home.

When you heat your home with a hybrid heating system, you experience the highest efficiency possible, meaning lower utility bills. There are two primary ways to heat your home: a gas or oil fired furnace that resides inside your home or a heat pump (outdoor unit) paired with an air handler (an inside unit that moves the conditioned air through your ductwork).

Heat pumps are electric and can typically heat your home more efficiently when the temperature outside is 40 degrees or above. Below 40 degrees (this varies on region) a gas furnace will heat more efficiently. A hybrid system uses both a heat pump and furnace to intelligently heat your home based on temperature and utility rates for your area. And since a heat pump can also act as an air conditioner for summer months, you do not have an extra piece of equipment to purchase.

In every AC system, heating is very important. Without heating, homes can be too cold and unbearable. You wouldn’t want that on your home, right? Well, what are you waiting for?

The most common central cooling system is a split system, which includes an outdoor unit such as an air conditioner or heat pump containing a condenser coil and compressor, and an indoor unit called an evaporator coil. This setup is usually installed in conjunction with your furnace or air handler. The compressor in the (outdoor unit) pumps a chemical called refrigerant (R22 or R-410A) through the system to cool the air.

How it works: Once warm air inside your home blows across the indoor evaporator coil, its heat energy transfers to the refrigerant inside the coil. That transfer, in turn, “cools” the air. The refrigerant is pumped back to the compressor where the cycle begins again. The heat absorbed by the refrigerant is moved outside your home while cooled air is blown inside. Moisture that contributes to humidity is also condensed out of the air. Your cooling system is usually combined with your central heating system because they share the same ductwork for distributing conditioned air throughout your home. In warm environments where a furnace is not used, an air handler can be used to pump the air through the ductwork which helps your air conditioner run efficiently.

An air conditioner serves one purpose: to cool the air inside your home. A heat pump however can cool or heat your home. A heat pump can be used with an air handler to provide cool air in the summer and warm air in the winter. Heat pumps are electric and can be used when a gas fuel source is not available to power a furnace. Heat pumps are also ideal for areas where winter weather averages 40 degrees or above as at such temperatures they can heat your home more efficiently than a gas furnace.
