Types of Heating Sources
When most people think about what heats their homes their automatic assumption is a furnace. This is a very common kind of heat source, but definitely not the only one. Chapman installs three different types of heat sources for your home. Depending on the space, your budget, and what kinds of energy savings you are looking for, any of these systems might be appropriate for your family.
Furnaces are some of the most common heating sources that we see. These types of systems are known for their potential energy efficiency and ease of operation. A furnace is a quiet system that can is usually located in the basement, attic, or utility closet of your home. Chapman offers a variety of furnace brands and has expert Comfort Advisors to help you size the system appropriately.
A mini-split system is a great heating option for an addition on your home, or an area that may have cool spots in the winter. At my house, a mini-split system was used to comfort an outdoor porch that was converted into a sunroom. These systems require little as far as installation and maintenance, making them a popular heating solution.
Air source heat pumps and ground source heat pumps work essentially the same way, but one pulls heat from the air and the other pulls heat from the ground. These systems are known for being more efficient than other systems. The basic way these heat pump units work is transferring the hot air to the cold air. These systems are unique because they handle both the heating and the cooling for your entire home.
Regardless of what type of heating you have, or what type of heating you want, Chapman offers the same guarantees with all our installations. If you are looking to replace today, contact us here.
