Choosing the Best Heating System for Tennessee Valley Winters
If you’ve lived through a winter season in the Tennessee Valley, you know it can get rough at least a few weeks out of the year. Having a reliable furnace to keep your family warm through the winter should be important to you. If you think you might be in the market for a new heating system soon, you should be aware of what to consider when exploring your options.
Furnaces
There are two types of furnaces: gas and electric. Gas furnaces heat your home by burning combustible fuels. They either use gas or propane. Electric furnaces run off electricity, and they heat your home by pushing air over a hot element, heating it up before it enters your home. Furnaces are the most popular choice for home heating in the Tennessee Valley.
The Platinum 95 Furnace offers the best in furnace heating efficiency. This system optimizes humidity and percent of fuel burned to provide you with the best comfort levels and lowest energy bills. It even runs quietly and distributes warm air evenly throughout every room of your home by using a variable-speed fan motor.
This gas furnace is the quietest we have to offer! It provides efficient performance with consistent flow of warm, comfortable air. This variable speed furnace is also designed to accommodate virtually any home with its industry-changing cabinet design.
The American Standard 92 Furnace provides reliable and efficient operation at a great value. With high fuel-to-heat conversion, you’ll pay less to heat your home and also reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This furnace has a multi-speed blower motor and operates quietly.
Heat Pumps
A heat pump can work as an air conditioner or a heating system by using one refrigerant line. They use outside air and pressurized refrigerant lines to absorb heat and emit it into your home. Heat pumps from American Standard are great because they keep your home cool and comfortable in the summer, and warm in the winter. They can even regulate your home’s humidity, making them the most efficient choice on the market. Although homes in our region predominantly have furnaces, heat pumps are on the rise as the preferred choice by homeowners and even small businesses.
