Will your heater see the same amount of use as your home cooling system? No, probably not. That doesn\u2019t make it any less important, though. If you want to live comfortably in your home when temperatures drop, then you need a great heater at your disposal!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, many homeowners are opting for a furnace system in their homes\u2014and for great reason! Our heating professionals make it easy to install a new furnace system in your South Carolina home. Whether you decide to purchase an electric or gas system, you will enjoy the benefits of a furnace. Plus, we\u2019ll help you to choose the right system for your home.<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Is a Furnace?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, a furnace is a forced-air heating system. It warms your home by distributing heated air through a network of ducts. This is different from a radiant system, like a hydronic heating system using a boiler. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several different types of furnaces, meaning they each run on a different fuel type. Speaking with a qualified heating technician can help you make the right decision for your home. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Choose a Furnace?<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><b>It\u2019s Efficient<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A furnace system with an AFUE, or annual fuel utilization efficiency, rating above 90% is an efficient option. This can save you and your family a lot of money! An electric furnace system has an AFUE rating between 95% and 100%. This means that over 90% of the energy in the fuel becomes heat for your home. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our heating professionals can help you select a high-efficiency furnace to save you money and go green! <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>It Can Share Ductwork with a Central AC<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s right. An advantage of using a forced- air heating system in your home is that it makes installing central air conditioning simple and affordable. Adding a central air system is easy if you already have a furnace system\u2014you won\u2019t need additional ductwork or vents.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>It\u2019s Fast<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other heating systems don\u2019t offer the fast comfort that a furnace system can. Furnaces have a fast start-up, so you will be feeling warm and cozy in no time! There are a lot of benefits to be had when using a radiant heating system, for instance, but you won\u2019t get the prompt temperature adjustment that you do with a furnace.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>It\u2019s Safe<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, we can understand that you might fear a potential carbon monoxide leak. We want you to know that this is a rare occurrence, and it can only happen in a gas-fueled system. With regularly scheduled maintenance you can avoid leaks altogether! Purchasing an electric furnace system will also rid you of any risks!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>It\u2019s Affordable<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although some high-efficiency furnace systems can be a little pricey to purchase, properly maintaining your system costs a lot less than other heaters. Plus, the average cost of repair is a lot lower too!
