Types of Heating Systems
Depending on your space, budget, what kinds of energy savings you are looking for; there are a variety of heating systems that could work for your home. 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 four different types of systems that are all designed to keep your home comfortable.
A traditional furnace system is the most popular method for heating homes in our area. These types of systems are known for their potential energy efficiency and ease of operation. A furnace is known to be a quieter system that can is usually located in the basement, attic, or utility closet of your home. Chapman will pair you with one of our expert Comfort Advisors to get the right size and brand system for your home.
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 by transferring the hot air to the cold air. These systems are unique because they handle both the heating and the cooling for your home.
A mini-split, or ductless system, is definitely a rising trend in heating sources. At my house, a mini-split system was used to comfort an outdoor porch that was converted into a sunroom. These systems work great for that purpose or other additions on homes, and are also great for hot or cold spots in your home. These system can also be maintained at the same time as your main heating system with our Chapman Family Comfort Club.
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.
