Direct heat and central heat
Some 22 million American homes have a direct- heating sustems a
throwback to the era of fire places and potbellied stoves. The heating
apparatus exudes warmth directly to the space where heating system
is located. Electricity provides a particularly comfortable source
of direct heating. Resistance wires, similar in principle to the
elements in a toaster, run through baseboard heating units or may
be strung inside walls, ceilings or floors; individual heating thermostats
control the temperature in each room.
The great majority of homes, however, have central- heating systems.
These heating systems are popular largely because they are more
efficient and can be located in an out-of-the-way place, yet can
heat the entire house. Central heating systems are made up of several
distinct units:
HEAT PRODUCER. This may be an oil, gas or wood
burner, an electric heater or a heat pump, alone or in combination.
HEAT EXCHANGER. This unit is called a furnace if
it heats air, a boiler if it heats water or makes steam. The air,
water or steam goes through passageways inside the exchanger that
keep it separated from the combustion gases of the burner; the gases
are expelled through a flue. Any of these heat exchangers can be
hooked up to any of the several kinds of heat producers.
HEAT DISTRIBUTOR. There are three types, one for
each type of exchanger. In a warm-air system, the air is drawn into
the exchanger by a large fan (a blower) and sent through ducts to
warm-air registers. In a hot-water system, water is forced through
the exchanger by a pump (a circulator) and sent through pipes to
convectors, a type of radiator. Steam rises under its own pressure
from the exchanger, going through pipes to radiators.
CONTROLS. Most homes have one thermostat in, the
living area to turn the heating plant on and off. But some achieve
closer control with several, and a few installations sense out side
temperature in order to respond more to weather changes.
The most common problem with central sustains is uneven heat: rooms
nearest the heat producer get too hot, those farther away never
get warm enough. Since tinkering with one part of a system may affect
other parts, adjustments may take days or weeks; so this is primarily
a job for the homeowner.
Steam systems are least amenable to adjustment, but the heat of
individual radiators can be regulated by turning the dial on each
air vent (page 323). If your vents are not adjustable, change them;
they are not expensive.

strongly suggest that you call us for an appointment.
