A gas furnace uses gas as a fuel source to produce heat, which is then re-distributed throughout your home.
A gas furnace is a type of heating system that utilizes natural gas or propane to generate warm air. This air is then pushed through ductwork and distributed throughout the entire home, ensuring even temperatures in each room. Gas furnaces are energy efficient, cost-effective and easy to operate; they produce more heat for less money than other types of central heating systems.
Gas furnaces use an ignition source (such as electric spark) to ignite the gas as it enters the burner assembly. This ignites the mixture of fuel and air, creating combustion which produces heat. The heat is then transferred into metal chambers where it radiates from hot surfaces within the unit before being blown into the home’s air distribution system. The blower fan within the furnace then distributes the warm air through the ductwork until all rooms of the home are evenly heated.
