How central heating works

Combustion gases are generated by the burners in your furnace and passed through a heat exchanger. Air from your home blows across the heat exchanger and is then blown through a system of ducts to distribute around your home. During warm seasons, your heating system works with your central air conditioning. Air is cooled as it’s blown over your air conditioning unit’s cooling coil, often attached to the air circulating fan of the furnace, and then sent through the same air ducts throughout your home.

Is it right for your home?

There are several, affordable options for heating your home. Central heating is a great choice for general comfort and energy efficiency since it’s the tried and true way to get consistent temperatures throughout your entire house, and it can be connected to a central air conditioning unit. But things like the cost to install a central heating unit and the cost and hassle of the system’s required ductwork installation and maintenance cause some people to pause.
