Has the interior of the home seemed a bit colder lately? This situation could have a number of causes, but it might be the result of an aging furnace or similar heating unit. Every appliance ages and with age comes expensive repairs. At some point, the cost of repairs can not be justified and the property owner will need to consider a new Heating Installation. If all goes well, this repair should be quick and easy because the replacement should be a similar model to the existing one.
There are several types of heating appliances and the one that gets chosen may depend on the type of control that the home or property owner requires. For example, the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) system allows the user to set a specific temperature and forget about the appliance. Alternately, the split or ductless system gives the user control over the temperature in various zones of the building. These zones are arbitrary so the customer can place them where they will be the most effective. If neither of these two options suits the homeowner, then there is the choice of radiant heating.
Radiant heat works exactly like the name implies. That is, the system will heat water or a chemical solution and the liquid carries the heat throughout the building. This heated water is then passed through a coil where the heat is radiated through the fins and into the room. Radiator systems can be slim models that fit along a baseboard or larger units that mount on a wall. It may even be possible to still make use of those old iron radiators that were so popular in government buildings. A radiant Heating Installation doesn’t normally use fans to move the heat, although, they should be placed where the heat can cover the most area.
Another interesting option for heating a building is the heat pump. This name is a bit misleading since many people think it means simply moving heat into the space. In fact, the term heat pump means the unit can move heat either way. There is no implied direction since reversing the flow of refrigerant will change the direction of heat flow. The directional control allows the system to work all year and moving heat out of the home is the same thing that the AC does when cooling things down.
