How to Avail Furnace Replacement

A furnace is a form of heating unit installed in homes and areas to provide heat indoors. The name derives from Latin word Fornix, which means oven. They are commonly used as a component of HVAC in most parts of the world. Furnaces play a major role for countries with a cold environment. They provide warmth and comfort in cold areas and especially during winters when the environmental temperature becomes very low. In that situation a house, office, institution or any confined area is provided with the comfort of warmth.

Types of Furnaces

Generally furnaces can be classified into various types depending on their function, method of generating heat and fuel consumption type. There are four different types of fuel and each one of them can be used by a specific furnace to generate heat. These fuel types are,

1. Electric

2. Natural gas

3. Propane

4. Oil

An electric furnace produces heat by exposure of heating element to air. Other three types typically require a heat chamber that warms the surrounding air.
