Most homes in North America use a central furnace to provide heat

A central furnace directs heated air through ducts, delivering the warm air through air registers or grills into the various rooms in your home. The power source of one of these furnaces might be electricity, natural gas, or fuel oil.

A heating system offers an unprecedented level of control for homeowners to manage the temperature in their home

The key component of a heating system is the thermostat. It turns the system on and off, can be set at a certain temperature. Each time the temperature in your home drops below that temperature, the distribution system kicks on, directing warm air into your home to help maintain a comfortable atmosphere.

Many forced air heating systems work off of a single thermostat, but these heating systems also have built-in safety controls, such as high-limit switches that prevent the furnace and heat exchanger from overheating and potentially burning out.

A heat pump is a more efficient option, compared to furnace heating

Think of a heat pump as an air conditioner that works in reverse. It draws in what little warmth is present outside during cold weather, then moves that heat through your home. This is much more efficient because the heat simply is being moved from outside into your home—rather than having to generate the heat internally. Air-source heat pumps draw their heat from the outside air, while ground-source heat pumps draw heat from underground, where temperatures tend to be more consistent over the course of time. The vast majority of heat pumps that are installed are of the air-source variety.

Heat pumps can deliver more energy than they consume

The heating season performance factor (HSPF) is used to rate the heating efficiency of any and all air-source heat pumps. Ground-source heat pumps are more efficient, but also tend to cost more and typically are installed only by homeowners who plan to remain in their home for a long time due to the financial investment of the unit.
