6 Benefits of Forced Air Temperature Control

Forced air temperature control is one of the most popular forms of heating for smart homeowners. And that’s not surprising, because it offers considerable benefits. Before investing in this type of heating system, however, it’s advisable to understand how it works and exactly what its benefits are so you can make an informed decision. Here’s what you need to know. 

How a Forced Air Heating System Works

In a forced air heating system, cold air is drawn into the system and directed to a heat source, which is usually a heat pump or a furnace. The heat source heats the air, and then the warm air is guided into ducts that disperse it throughout the home. The entire system is controlled by a thermostat that activates and deactivates it as needed depending on the indoor air temperature. 

Benefits of a Forced Air Heating System

A well-maintained forced air heating system offers the following six advantages:

• Improved comfort: You can control the indoor air temperature with a pre-programmed thermostat, which ensures that a comfortable temperature is maintained at all times. For example, if you’ve set the temperature at 67 and the air temperature drops below that, the thermostat will automatically switch on and start heating the air.

• Relatively fast heating: These types of heating systems work much faster than, for example, radiant heating systems because they heat the air directly and deliver the warm air throughout the home. So, if you come home to a cold house and you turn the heating up, you’ll start feeling the warm air within minutes.

• Improved indoor air quality: There are filters at the heat source that trap indoor air pollutants and dust to filter them out of the air. In addition, you can get forced air heating systems with humidifiers or dehumidifiers, which can further improve the air quality in your home. 

• Low installment costs: Compared to other heating systems, these types of heating systems are relatively affordable to install. Moreover, a furnace or heat pump will last between 15 and 20 years, so if you maintain your system properly, the installment costs will deliver a good ROI.

• Energy efficiency and lower energy bills: Modern forced air heating systems are extremely energy-efficient, which means they can heat more air with less input. That’s good for the environment, as they require less power to function. And because they require less power, they can significantly lower your energy bills — particularly when you choose a system that has an ENERGY STAR® furnace or heat pump.
• Combined heating and cooling: You can choose a forced air system that combines both heating and cooling in one single system. This offers more convenience when it comes to maintenance and operation; plus, it can be a more affordable investment when compared to installing two separate systems. 

If you’re ready to invest in a forced air heating system, make sure to speak with a qualified HVAC technician about your options. And once your new heating is installed, you’ll enjoy a healthier, warmer home, as well as lower energy bills!
