Different HVAC Options
A Charlotte heating adviser can explain to you the different types of heating systems on the market. You will probably have some experience with a furnace. Perhaps your parents had one. They work by drawing air into the home via a system to heat it before distribution. They are usually powered using natural gas and the modern furnaces are extremely efficient. They can get rid of dust and other particles in the air to improve the quality as well as the heat.
The heating output is controlled by a thermostat. You may not realize how much money you can save by turning down this device one degree. Why not try it for yourself to see the impact on your fuel costs. The winters in Charlotte are fairly mild so you may want to try wearing an extra jumper rather than just automatically hitting the heating switch.
Charlotte heating advisers can also give you other pointers on how to save money. They may suggest that you consider a heat pump system if your furnace is old and not working properly. At a very basic level, a heat pump swops cold air for warmer air. It should also work as an air conditioner which is very important particularly as we spend about 80% of our time indoors. People used to worry that a heat pump needed a back up heating system such as a furnace and this may be true in very cold climates but it should be more than sufficient for most people’s needs.
You may have purchased a home with a baseboard heating systems. These are complex electrical devices usually used in homes that are difficult to install ductwork in but they are expensive and best avoided if at all possible. Hydronic heating systems use water which flows through tubes under the flooring. Whether this is the right system for your home is advice you should get from a Charlotte heating expert.
