The average electric heater uses current that is passed through electrical resistance heating elements to heat the water. There are usually two of these heating elements, one at the middle of the tank and one at the bottom. The thermostat (a switch that senses the temperature of the water) sends power to the heating elements.

When a HVAC emergency pops up most people respond by calling the first professional they can find to get it fixed. That is why all too often they end up with problems due to subpar work and end up opening themselves up t security risks. It’s best, of course, to have a trusted company in

Common mechanical issues on gas furnaces typically involve the thermocouple and limit switch. The thermocouple is a gas furnace component located near the pilot light burner. It is a safety device that shuts off the gas in the event that the pilot light goes out or the electric igniter fails. If the pilot light keeps

A question many people have is how often should their furnace filter be changed? The answer to this question is actually fairly complex. For ages, heating professionals recommended inspecting and usually changing your filter once per month. This used to be important because filters back then were not as sophisticated as they are today. In

High efficiency means less waste. In furnace terms this means the unit is able convert the vast majority of its fuel into energy with little lost or wasted in the process. In most cases, the best way to determine efficiency is to look at the annual fuel utilization efficiency. However, in addition to this number,

There are advantages to using an electric heating system, but the higher operating cost usually turns people to other furnace systems. The high cost means that minimizing heat loss caused by improperly installed ducts or inadequate insulation is even more important than with other types of systems. A benefit to these alternative systems are that

Did you know that you can use your ceiling fans to significantly reduce your heating and cooling costs? Cooling might be obvious but a ceiling fan rotating in the proper direction can help you save on heating as well. As long as the blades have been installed correctly, when rotating clockwise they push the air

Gas furnaces typically run better than oil burners in terms of operational difficulties and they also burn cleaner because of the type of fuel used – natural gas and propane. In fact, the problems that affect gas furnaces typically involve the furnace’s thermocouple, the pilot light, or some component of the electrical system. Leaks are
