Services for All Heating System Types
Our team is well experienced in installing, repairing, and maintaining all types of heating systems. If your heater isn’t working on a cold day, reach out to us for emergency HVAC services. Some of the common heating systems we repair and replace include the following:
Forced Air Heating System
Forced air heating systems are one of the most common types of heating systems used in homes today. They work by utilizing air as the medium to distribute heat throughout a home. This system is powered by fuel oil, natural gas, propane, or electricity and works by heating the air and circulating it through ducts to reach different rooms and spaces.
Furnace
A furnace is an essential component of any home heating system. It works by pulling in air from the surrounding environment, typically with an electric motor, and then warming that air over a heating element or gas burner. This heated air is then circulated throughout the house, providing warmth and comfort during colder months. The most important thing about installing a furnace is proper ventilation.
Heat Pump
A heat pump transfers heat energy from a source of heat to a thermal reservoir. Heat pumps move this thermal energy in the opposite direction by absorbing heat from a cold space and releasing it to a warmer space. Compressing the fluid enhances the temperature, which is then used for heating purposes. This device can be used to heat and cool a space, making it versatile for different seasons.
Ductless Mini-Split System
A ductless mini-split system consists of the two main components of an outdoor unit and one or more indoor units. The outdoor unit houses the compressor, condenser, and expansion valve, while the indoor units contain the evaporator and air handler. The system works by transferring heat from one location to another using refrigerant lines that connect the outdoor and indoor units.
