Single Stage Furnace

Your furnace and fan are either on or off. Pretty simple, huh? A single-stage furnace technically has multiple speeds since every home has a unique heat load that is calculated for you by your heating and air conditioning contractor.

Two-Stage Furnaces

Two-stage furnaces are more efficient and more effective at heating your home. Furnaces are like light bulbs; they operate better if they are turned on and left on. If you flick a light switch on and off, over and over, that bulb is toast. The same goes for furnaces. A furnace like this one uses less gas and is easier on the machine.

Multi-Speed Furnaces

In single-stage furnaces, if you want your fan on for circulation, it is always on high. It is the only option.  In variable furnaces, the fan turns over slowly to maintain air circulation while being easy on your utility bill.

By the way, most air cleaners and filtration devices are only active when the furnace blower is on. The best way to utilize these accessories is to have a variable speed blower installed.

How Do Boilers Work to Heat My Home?

Boilers provide radiant heat by heating water that is then circulated through copper or PEX tubing in traditional radiators and modern radiators, or hidden behind walls and floors. The radiating hot water from the boiler warms the walls and objects in the room.

When you stand next to warm objects, you experience less heat loss and feel warmer. Undoubtedly, radiant heat from boilers is the most comfortable way to heat your home.

Major Benefits of a Boiler Heating System

• Improved Efficiency – Most new condensing boilers are 90% or more efficient.
• Free Up Space – Modern boilers are smaller in size and take less space.
• Quieter Operation – Boilers are almost silent and unheard in today’s world.
• More Consistent Heating – Live comfortably in your home and don’t worry about cold spots.
