A furnace draws air from the house into a ductwork system, taking it to an area where it is warmed before being delivered back to living spaces. Newer furnaces use blowers to recirculate the warmed air. A furnace may be fueled with gas, electricity, oil, or even coal or wood.
Circulating air is drawn through a filter that helps rid the house of dust and other particles.
• GAS & OIL furnaces have a pilot light that warms a heat exchange unit, which in turn warms the air before it is circulated back through the house. These furnaces have a flue where exhaust gases vent to the outside.
• ELECTRIC FURNACE uses heating strips, or elements, to warm the air.
• WOOD or COAL FURNACE has a sealed firebox where the fuel is burned, and a heat exchanger where air is warmed before
delivery.
• Metal vents that allow warmed air to escape from the system and into the house are usually found in the floors or on walls in living areas. The home's temperature is controlled by changing the settings on a thermostat, usually positioned on a wall at eye-level. The thermostat shows the current temperature of the room.
