A large number of homes and buildings have a gas central heating system. This system is operated by a thermostat and, when properly installed, provides very comfortable heat in cool weather. The heat goes from a furnace and is dispensed through ducts and vents to the various rooms or locations.

Because homes and small building have a furnace which is centrally located, it is called gas central heating. The majority of larger buildings have a furnace room which can be located in any part of the building. When the furnace ignites the heat is forced, by air, through the building.

Not all areas of the country have access to gas so have to resort to electrical heating systems. However, those who do have gas have found that it is much cheaper than electricity. That, plus its efficiency, is why it's one of the most popular heating systems being used today.

In addition, with a good furnace and duct system you will never hear the furnace running. It is very quiet during the entire time it is in operation. If you have a gas system and there is any noise you should have a furnace man come and check the furnace and ...
... ducts. Sometimes it's some small part that needs replacing.

One advantage of this type of heating system is the ability to have complete control of the temperature. Some older people, for example, require more heat than a younger person who is very active and is in and out of the house a lot. With the gas system there is no problem with adjusting the heat to suit the occupants of the home.

Another plus with the system is that you have it under automatic control. Some of the systems have a built in time regulator whereas it can be set to come on at a certain time. This is of great advantage for someone who works and is gone from home during the day.

They can set the timer to have the heat very low during the day and then come on at, for example, 4 p. M. And have the house warm and toasty when they arrive. Many people have found this an excellent energy saver which has lowered their heating bill considerably. Of course, it can be set back on regular operation when they are home all day. Some people are also able to use the Internet, with their home network, for this purpose.

There are some important facts regarding this system that should be considered. If you are moving into a house that has this type of heating system it is important to have an experienced gas central heating technician check the furnace. If it's really old there may be parts that need to be replaced. In addition, you should have the furnace checked out regularly, once a year, to be sure it's in good operating condition.
