Which Home Heater is Right for You?

Author: Terry Edwards

If you live in the northern half of the U.S., it goes without saying that home heaters are a must. With cold days of winter on the way, it helps to know what type of home heater is right for you. Here’s a quick rundown on the various heating systems and how they can help keep you and your warm when it’s below zero outside.

Furnace

A home furnace is the most common home heater around. It takes air from inside your home and heats it up through a heat exchanger. The blower then blows out the heated air through your ductwork. An air filter helps to keep out dust, mold spores and pollen. Furnaces are generally run on natural gas or electricity, with some powered by heating oil, coal and even wood. The key in lowering home heating costs is to have the most energy efficient heater you can afford.

Heat Pump

If you want to save 25% or more on home heating costs, then a heat pump may be for you. Heat pumps take heat from the outside air and disburse it on the inside. They are amazingly energy efficient and well worth having.

Baseboard Heater

Many homes are heated from the use of a radiant baseboard heater, while others are using them as an additional heating source. While baseboard heaters can be somewhat pricey, they work great in a room that is tough to put in any kind of ductwork system.

Ceiling Or Floor Heaters

These types of home heaters are not as common, but can work quite well. A ceiling or floor heater doesn’t use a blower or ductwork, but rather, heats the inside of a room like the sun would. A hydronic heater would be a good example of radiant floor heating.

Outdoor Patio Heaters

These types of heaters are ideal for using outside your home on a patio or porch area. the patio heater warms up the air around you, allowing you to enjoy some time outside in the sun.

With such a wide variety of heaters available, finding the one that fits your needs shouldn’t be a problem.

    *Note: If you have a terra cotta clay chimney
    flue lining, be sure to measure the true length and width of the
    inside of your chimney flue space.

    *If there is a terra cotta clay flue liner, does it protrude out of
    the top of the chimney at least 2 inches? If there are at least 2
    inches and the terra cotta clay is in good condition, you will use
    our stainless steel, terra cotta top plate that has a 1 1⁄2inch edge
    that goes all the way around (like a shoebox lid).

    *If your terra cotta clay flue is in bad shape at the top, you may
    need to just take a hammer and tap all around that terra cotta,
    taking it away to make the surface flat at the top of your chimney.
    In that case, you will simply use the flat top plate that comes with
    our liner kit.



    *Note: If you have a terra cotta clay chimney
    flue lining, be sure to measure the true length and width of the
    inside of your chimney flue space.

    *If it is on the back of the stove, is it parallel with the back of the stove or is it at an angle, like 45 degrees?

    *If it is at an angle you will use an insert stove adaptor (an insert liner kit) rather than a two-part tee with cleanout cap.


    Usually pellet stoves have an exhaust hole id of 3 inches. However, if you are going up more than 15 feet to the top of your chimney you need to use a pipe and/or flex liner that is 4 inches diameter.





    If you are only venting a hot water heater then the exhaust hole diameter is probably 3 inch diameter. If it is 3 inch diameter and you are going up more than 15 feet to the top of your chimney, you must use a 4 inch diameter flexible liner or ridged pipe for proper draft. We also suggest to go ahead and use a 4 inch diameter flexible liner or ridged pipe even if the total length is 15 feet or less.


    Not the depth or any other dimension inside your fireplace.

    Most gas log fireplaces require an 8 inch liner kit or rigid kit. But do not assume that is the case for the gas log fireplace kit you are installing. Obey the requirements for that specific unit that are in your installation/instruction manual.
