During much of the year, Texas is, of course, a very hot place to live. This is not the case year round, though, and you will find that you are going to need a good heating system in your home in order to make it through the winter season comfortably. One of the most popular of all home heating systems is the furnace. With a good furnace, you will be able to effectively and efficiently heat your home during even the coldest time of the year. Choosing the right furnace in Spring, TX can be tricky, though.
Gas or Electric
One of the most important decisions that you’ll have to make when choosing a new furnace is what type of fuel it will use. For many, natural gas is the obvious choice. Natural gas is quite clean-burning for a fossil fuel, and it burns hot. Plus, unlike oil or propane, gas is piped directly to the appliance, meaning that you’ll never run out or have to schedule deliveries. However, it does require access to a gas main. If you don’t have such access, or if you don’t want to pipe gas to your home, an electric furnace may be the right choice. They’re incredibly efficient, though the comparatively high price of electricity means that they may still be more costly to operate than natural gas.
Sizing
Once you’ve chosen what type of furnace you’ll use, your technician will have to determine what size of furnace you need. An undersized furnace will struggle to heat your home effectively, while an oversized furnace can heat it too quickly, causing the system to short cycle frequently. This can lead to serious energy waste, and unnecessary wear and tear. Guarantee that you’re using the right furnace for your needs by working with us.
