Select from the list to indicate the type of Thermostatically Controlled Heat Source. Options include:
Gas. Gas forced air central heating system where heat is distributed by fan/blower through air ducts and is thermostatically controlled. Most use atmospheric burners similar to burners in gas range.
Electric. Electric forced air central heating system where heat is distributed by fan/blower through air ducts and is thermostatically controlled. Electricity flows through heating elements (wires) creating heat.
Oil-Forced Air. Oil-forced air central heating system where heat is distributed by fan/blower through air ducts and is thermostatically controlled. Heat is distributed in form of water steam.
Heat Pump. Central forced air heating/cooling system with thermostat (air source heat pump) with two main parts, an outdoor unit and indoor unit. Heat is moved from one place to another and air is moved over outside coil extracting heat, which is transferred through inside coil and distributed through ducts.
Electric Baseboard. Usually mounted under window along exterior wall and equipped with electric heating element built within metal casing and is thermostatically controlled. Heat is generated when electric current flows through heating element and warms air around heater creating a natural airflow without use of fan.
Radiant Ceiling. Usually installed under thin-wall plaster or between layers of sheetrock on ceiling and usually consists of a single wire spaced 6-10” apart and controlled by an individual line voltage thermostat. Electricity flows through thermostat into ceiling heat cable. Surrounding sheetrock/plaster is heated and radiated into room. Less common type involves panels added after the room is finished.
Radiant Floor. Heated water (Hydronic) is circulated through piping that runs from a hot water boiler with electric resistance wires encased in concrete or installed with built-up wood subflooring.
Electric Wall Heaters. Thermostatically controlled and considered safe and easy to use. There are different wall units in each room and venting is not required.
