Because of my task, I’ve moved around a lot, i’ve lived all over the northeastern part of the country, where the weather is seriously cold, snowy and wet for the majority of the year.
- It’s proper to operate the gas furnace for approximately several straight months, my experience with all unusual heating systems has shown myself and others the pros and cons of each.
I was not overly impressed by the forced air furnace because of the noise, energy waste and air contamination caused by the duct system, then as the hot air flowed from the vents, it would rise straight up to the ceiling. I found that I needed to set the control component much higher to keep comfortable. I was not at all cheerful with the comfort gave by an electric heat pump at the a single home, and the system was ideal for a/c in the summer time and absolutely handled the heating demands of the Spring and fall… However, when the outdoor temperature dropped below frigid, the system couldn’t keep up. I needed to bundle up in layers of clothes and rely on an electric heated blanket to keep warm. In my opinion, the best genre of gas furnace is a boiler and radiant flooring combination. The boiler heats up water and sends it through a series of pipes installed beneath the floor. The heat is spread evenly across the surface of the floor and rises particularly slowly. There are no drafts or frigid spots, no worries over insufficient humidity or introduction of contaminants into the breathing air. The component is actually concealed, never creating an eyupore or taking up living space. I didn’t need to arrange furniture around it… No matter how frigid it got outside, I could walk barefoot across the floor and guess totally hot and cozy.
