This is so important to know so when you are scheduling maintenance or need any type of service, you are able to provide the exact details for your specific system type to our customer care team so they can get the best technician out to your home. Get to know your heating system below!
A FURNACE is a forced air system and requires ductwork to distribute heat. If you have a furnace, you have vents in your home.
A BOILER is a piped hydronic system that heats up water as it flows throughout your home. If you have a boiler, you have radiators or baseboards in your home.
These systems have a specific energy they run on, whether that is electricity, oil, natural gas, or propane.
A HEAT PUMP is a system installed outside of your home, is powered by electricity, and provides both cooling and heating for your home.
