Heating Repair Services

If your heating system is in need of repair, you need to contact an expert.  There are many different things that can wrong with your heating system. There are different types of heating systems in different homes on Long Island, in Queens and in NYC.  Homes are often fueled by either natural gas or oil.  Following are some of the types of units that are used as heat sources in heating systems around the country.

Types of Heating Systems

Furnace

A furnace works by blowing air that provides heat.  This type of heating system is referred to as forced distribution system. It may be powered by electricity, natural gas, or fuel oil. According to HomeTips.com, “A gas forced-air heating system goes into action when the thermostat tells it that the room temperature has dropped below a preset comfort level. The thermostat sends a low-voltage electrical signal to a relay in the furnace, which signals a valve to open and deliver natural gas to the burners and for the blower to turn on. The furnace has a pilot light or electronic ignition that lights the burner inside the combustion chamber. This creates heat in the furnace’s heat exchanger, a metal chamber around which the moving air flows. Once warmed, the air is pushed into the hot-air plenum and then out to the rooms through duct work. The combustion gases created by burning fuel are vented through a flue in the roof or, with high-efficiency furnaces, through a wall.”

Before you call for heating repair or installation services, it is important to know the parts of your furnace and heating system and how it works. According to PSEG.com, the basic components of a gas furnace system include:

  • A burner, through which gas is delivered and burned
  • A heat exchanger, where the heat produced from the burning gas is transferred to the air distribution system.
  • Ductwork, to transfer the heated air throughout the home.
  • A flue or vent pipe, to exhaust gas and byproducts of combustion (such as water vapor and carbon dioxide) to the outside

Boiler

Boilers are water heaters that are used for heating purposes. While furnaces carry heat in the air, boiler systems disperse the heat in warm water, which gives up the heat as it moves through other devices or radiators in rooms throughout the home. The water that is cooler returns to the boiler. Residential boilers use heating oil or natural gas for fuel.

Instead of a duct and fan system, a boiler uses a pump to circulate water. Some hot water systems circulate water through plastic tubing in the floor, a system called radiant floor heating. Boiler controllers include valves which regulate water and flow temperature and thermostats. In steam boilers, which are not as common in homes these days, the water is boiled and steam carries heat condensing as it warms to water in the radiators. Gas and oil can be used to heat the water in a boiler system.

Heat Pumps

Heat pumps almost work as two-way air conditioners. By moving heat from the inside to the outside throughout the summer, an air conditioner operates. In the winter, this system is reversed by the heat pump, discharging that warmth into the home. All heat pumps utilize air to move throughout a structure.

If your home or place of business in Long Island, Queens or NYC is in need of heating installation or repair services, contact a professional HVAC company like Excellent Air Conditioning & Heating Services Inc. Don’t attempt to troubleshoot or fix the heating system yourself as these systems can be very complex.  In some cases, if you are working with gas or electricity, it can be very dangerous.

If my heating system isn’t working very well -should I replace it?

There is a lot to think about before you decide if you need a new heating system installed. You may want to consider replacing your heating system if it is old, inefficient or in need of repair.

What type of features should I consider in a new heating system?

The unit should be properly sized to provide enough heat for your home. It is also a good idea to consider comfort issues in your home.
