4 Fun Facts for Heating Season

Furnaces are the most popular way to heat homes in the USA. Furnaces warm the air and deliver it through ducts found in floors, walls, and ceilings. Energy sources for furnaces include natural gas, propane, oil, and electricity.

But what do you know about the system keeping you warm and cozy? Here are a few fun facts:

Fun Fact #1

Natural gas furnaces are the most popular and economical to run—as much as 30% less expensive to operate than other sources.

Fun Fact #2

Humidity affects how you feel, even at the same temperature. Low humidity levels will cause your home to feel colder than its measured temperature. In contrast, a higher humidity level will cause your home to feel warmer than its measured temperature.

Fun Fact #3

Furnaces have long lives. Many factors determine how long a furnace will last, but overall, furnaces average lengthy lifespans—usually 15–20 years.

Fun Fact #4

Furnaces fight dust bunnies. Did you know that a six-room house collects an average of 40 pounds of dust a year? Air filtering systems are essential for your family’s health and extend equipment life. High-efficiency blower motors inside the furnace constantly circulate air through the filter, collecting more dust while costing about what it takes to keep a light bulb lit.
