Heating

Creating heat, circulating it and regulating it are three tasks that are all closely intertwined. The entire process involves the furnace or boiler, the fuel, the carrying agents (ducts, pipes or fans) and the way in which the furnace delivers or withholds heat. If you are considering adding heat to your home, it is important for you to first determine where the heat source will be located, what type of heat source will be most efficient, which areas you would like to have heated and what distribution pathways you will use.


When adding heat to an existing system, you have the option of extending the existing system or supplementing it with a more energy/space-efficient mode of heat. When adding to an existing system, you need to consider whether it is best to add a duct run in a wall, add a stand-alone room heater, add a radiant panel or add baseboard heat. Keep in mind that different materials are required for different types of heat. For forced air, you may use metal duct to supply the air. For hot water heat, you will need copper pipe or PEX. Also, you will need fans to distribute the heat or additional heaters for supplemental heat.
