What are the different types of heating systems?
Forced Air System is common type of home heating and cooling system that distributes both your heating and cooling. The air is heated distributed from the furnace, then travels through ductwork and into each room that has a vent.
Boiler systems heat water and distribute it, in order to heat a space by "fin-tube" baseboard units mounted along walls. The fins increase the surface area of heat dissipation, and is distributed by convection as air rises and is heated by the baseboard unit. Boilers can be natural gas, propane, oil or electric. This method does not allow for cool air to be combined with the system. A separate cooling system would need to be installed to provide cooling in the summer months.
Geothermal systems can heat and cool unlike your standard heating and cooling system you are most likely familiar with. Geothermal HVAC systems don't burn fossil fuel to generate heat for your home or business; they simply transfer heat between the earth and the facility. Generally, electric power is used only to operate the systems fan, compressor, and heat pump.
Ductless systems heat and cool utilizing heat pump technology to distribute both warm and cool air. This system functions more like central air conditioner, but in reverse, for heat. Each area would require an wall unit that will distribute both the warm and cool air, and each will be connected to an outdoor condenser, like a central air conditioning system. Ductless systems use only electric power to operate the systems heat pump and indoor units.
Steam systems are found in mostly older homes. They are most notably know for their cast iron upright radiators, radiating heat with steam. With steam systems, heat is distributed with steam piping and radiator units. Steam systems can be natural gas, propane, oil or electric. This method does not allow for cool air to be combined with the system. A separate cooling system would need to be installed to provide cooling in the summer months
