At Total Air Heating & Air Conditioning we are specialists in installing, repairing and maintaining heating systems for residences. Anything that is capable of generating heat and distributing it to a specified area is a heater. Most homes in the US work on the principles of a central heating system that moves warm air throughout the house and ensures that all rooms are heated evenly.

A heat pump is capable of providing both heat and AC by using the heat transfer process to remove heat from an area where you don’t want it and deliver it to an area where you do. In winter the heat pump will pull heat from the outside air and deliver it to your indoor living area, while in summer the process is reversed and the heat pump removes your indoor heat to the outdoors.

A furnace works in tandem with an air conditioner and is responsible for providing heat when you need it. Furnaces can run on electricity, oil or gas. Whatever the fuel source, they create heat within their heat exchanger and rely on a fan to blow that heated air into your home.

Heat pumps and furnaces are extremely efficient heat sources for your home. Your Total Air technician can evaluate your home’s existing setup and your heating a cooling needs to make recommendations on the best heating system for your family.
