Furnace Services in Montreal Area’s
Choosing the ideal type of furnace for your needs involves considering certain factors. Gas furnaces provide fast, efficient heat. Electric hot air and hot water furnaces are easy to install and suitable for both small and large areas.
Natural Gas Furnace
This heat is then transferred to a heat exchanger, which heats the air circulating through it, to then distribute it into the ventilation ducts, thereby warming the interior space of a house or building. Combustion gases are safely discharged outside via a chimney or flue.
Gas furnaces are valued for their energy efficiency and ability to provide consistent heat, making them one of the popular heating options for many homes and businesses.
Electric Hot Air Furnace
Its basic principle is based on the heating of a heating element which produces heat when electric current passes through it. Ambient air is drawn in by a fan and directed towards the heating element, where it heats up by coming into contact with hot surfaces. Once heated, the air is then propelled into the spaces to be heated, providing a comfortable heat source.
The hot air outlet temperature is generally controlled by a thermostat built into the furnace. When the room temperature reaches the desired value, the thermostat cuts off the power supply to the heating element, thereby maintaining the temperature at a constant level. Electric hot air furnaces are widely used for domestic and commercial heating due to their efficiency, ease of use and low environmental impact compared to other, more traditional heating sources, such as fossil fuels.
Electric Hot Water Furnace
The basic principle is based on the use of electric heating elements immersed in a water tank. When electricity passes through these elements, they generate heat through the Joule effect, raising the temperature of the surrounding water. The hot water tank retains heat and can later be used for building heating or other applications requiring hot water.
A built-in thermostat controls the water temperature by turning off the power supply when the desired temperature is reached, and reactivating it when the temperature drops below a defined threshold. Electric hot water furnaces are efficient, easy to install and maintain, and provide a constant source of hot water.
Energy Storage Electric Furnace
