3 Heating Options to Install in Your Home Ready for Winter

With cooler temperatures just around the corner, now is the perfect time to get your home ready for winter. Enjoy a warm, comforting space for the whole family to enjoy by taking action now. Read on to find out the best heating options out there for you to choose from and see what works best for your family.

Fuel sources

The vast majority of homes in the US will have a heating system that runs off electricity or natural gas. Most heating systems are responsible for the majority of a household’s energy bill, so choosing the right kind of fuel source for your anticipated usage will help to improve the cost effectiveness and efficiency of your system.

Generally, electric heating can be less pricey and more efficient to run than gas run systems. If there is a breakdown with your gas furnace, then your home heating system will be unlikely to be affected if you predominantly use an electric set up.

Alongside renewable sources such as solar heating, electric heating systems have less of an impact on the environment too, minimizing carbon dioxide emissions, and preventing the risk of poisonous carbon monoxide leaks in the home. Furnaces can also be used by an air conditioning system during the summer months, which give them a different advantage. Take a look at moncriefair.com for more information on whether or not to opt for installing a furnace, or if another system is better suited.

Traditional heating methods

Wood burning stoves were once widely in use across most homes across the US and other countries, fueled by a plentiful supply of wood in local areas. While they went out of fashion with a move to more modern heating systems, their antique appearance has led to them enjoying a new lease of life.

These stoves can offer more than just an attractive antique, however, with the contemporary choice between wood or pellet burning stoves. They can often be a cost-effective way of heating a home, and despite burning wood logs or pellets made from wood products, they often have much less of an environmental impact.

While both provide a rich, inviting warmth and tempting glow, there are some differences between the two types, so it is worth researching them fully before you make a decision.

Under-floor heating

Under-floor heating was once regarded as a more indulgent heating option, but it is now widely recognized as an effective way to heat a home. Under-floor systems can actually improve efficiency, as they minimize heat loss through the ground and do not cause heat to blow around the home.

There are some disadvantages of using under-floor heating however, mainly as their installation requires removing and replacing flooring. If you have already invested in costly floor coverings, such as new tiling or hardwood floors, then installing a system like this can be expensive and disruptive. Consequently, this is often better suited to new constructions, or homes undergoing renovations.
