If you would like to learn more about your Heating system please
read the information below. It will help you to improve the efficiency
of your Heating system and reduce your utility and repair bills.
However we strongly encourage you DON’T get involved in repairs
in which you are not familiar and that involves working with electrical
or gas components. Unfortunately we have seen some people try it
and it always turns out to be costly. And, most important, it can
put your safety at risk, which cannot be repaired or replaced.

Heating systems
In general terms, a heating system converts fuel (gas or oil) or
energy (electricity or the sun's rays) into heat, which it then
distributes throughout the house. The function of all heating systems
is to maintain comfortable wintertime temperatures. Yet from one
system to the next, the delivery method, means of heat generation
and fuel that generates the heat vary. The most common whole-house
heat delivery systems are warm air, hot water, steam, and fluid-based
radiant heat. In each of these, air or a liquid is heated in a furnace
or boiler and sent to the various parts of the house through ducts,
pipes, or tubes. The heated air in a warm-air system is blown into
the rooms through ducts and registers. In other systems, steam or
a liquid heats radiators or convectors, or the floors, ceilings,
or walls of the house; these in turn give off their heat to the
rooms. The furnace of a warm-air system and the boiler in the other
systems house a burner that can be fueled by gas, oil, propane,
butane, electricity, or even wood or coal, depending upon their
availability and the local preference. Other systems heat the home
entirely by electricity, as in electrical radiant heat and baseboard
convectors. Heat pumps extract heat from outside air and `pump'
it indoors. Solar panels, fireplaces, wood-burning stoves, and electric
and gas space heaters are also found in homes, but generally they
provide auxiliary heat, supplementing a whole-house system. One
or more thermostats control a whole-house system, a thermostat regulates
the temperature of the surrounding space and the time of heat delivery,
but not the rate of delivery. In the following pages, thermostats
and burners are treated separately from the major heating systems.
Zoned systems. For heating (and cooling) purposes, a house may
be divided into zones, each with its own thermostat. Instead of
sending heat to all the rooms in a house, a zoned system heats individual
rooms or groups of rooms separately. For example, bedrooms, which
need heat at different times than other rooms, are often placed
in a different zone. Zoned heating provides slightly improved performance
and control; the more you set back heating devices in unoccupied
rooms, the more you will save on energy.
Effect of humidity. Wintertime comfort is mole than a matter of
delivering properly warmed air. Comfort is also affected by the
temperature of surrounding surfaces, the speed of indoor air move
merit, and the indoor humidity. (Air at a given temperature feels
warmer if the humidity is high.) A home with air leaks may suffer
from low indoor humidity; sealing the leaks or installing a humidifier
will raise the humidity level.
Because it is easy to maintain and readily combines with whole-house
air conditioning, humidification, and air cleaning, warm air is
often used for heating homes. Have a warm-air system serviced by
a heating contractor once a year, and take the simple maintenance
steps outlined (above right) to keep it working smoothly all winter.
A warm-air system contains five elements: a furnace to heat the
air, a distribution network of ducts, registers on walls or floors,
an exhaust flue, and a thermostat. The furnace contains a burner,
a combustion chamber, and a heat exchanger; the latter is a chamber
that keeps the house air separate from the harmful gases generated
by combustion. A motor either belt-driven or direct-drive powers
a blower, which circulates house air through the heat exchanger
and into the supply plenum (the main duct leading from the furnace).
From there, smaller ducts carry warm air to the individual rooms,
where it enters through adjustable registers. Cool air from the
rooms is pulled back to the furnace through return ducts; just before
reentering the furnace's blower (in the return plenum or in the
blower compartment itself), the return air is filtered to keep the
blower clean. Combustion gases emanating from the burner exit through
the exhaust flue. A few old furnaces still use gravity circulation,
which relies on the natural convection created by the buoyancy of
hot air and the fact that cold air falls. These systems have larger
ducts and no blower.
Warm-air heating systems tips
Clean filter monthly, or replace it with one of same size, but
turn off power to tumace first. Or install a washable filter that
whistles when clogged; clean it monthly. Clogged filter wears blower
motor and reduces efficiency by cutting airflow.
Clean the blower once a year. Turn off power arid open the blower
compartment. Clean fan blades with a bottle brush, and vacuum the
housing. Oil the blower or not: following instructions in owner's
manual.
Check fan belt, if any, once a year, with power off. If frayed
or stiff, replace it. Press lightly on belt; it should deflect V.
to in. If riot, tighten or loosen by turning adjustment bolt. It
motor is not factory lubricated; add 3 to 6 drops SAF W 30 oil.
