types of heating systems
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.

If you have any questions about your heating system or need to schedule maintenance or service, give our TMS customer care team a call any time.
