Forced Air
Heater
 The term forced air heater refers to heating units that
contain some type of fan that forces the heated air away from the unit and out into the area from which you
want to chase the cold away.
These
units can be from the very small area heaters to the extremely large heaters that are used in hotels. Most
houses that have central air conditioning use the method of forced air movement. Yes, forcing air works for
cooled air as well as heated air.
Ducted Heating
Systems
These systems are using air to transfer the heat
from the furnace to the rooms that you desire to warm. The heated air makes its way to the desired
room by the means of ductwork and vents. All air systems use blowers, a heat exchanger of some type,
filters and various controls. You will have thermostats to control the degree of heat or cooling that is
comfortable for your environment.
Flexible Heating
& Cooling Systems
You can use this type of heating or air conditioning in various places:
the obvious locations include your home or office building. But it is also effective to
heat or cool your green house. In other words, anywhere that is important to maintain control of the
temperature of the various environments.
Fuels that are used for
heating are solar, natural gas, propane or oil plus the ever popular electricity.
Forced air heating is more frequently installed in the
U.S. and Canada than in Europe. In England where a majority of the buildings are old, air ducts are a problem
and few older buildings have, what they call, “warm air” heating. They depend more on space heaters of some
kind (including coal burning stoves) as well as great fire
places.
