Are you often in contact with a HVAC contractor for a furnace repair in Fresno? What kind of system do you have at home? Are you using a furnace, boiler, heat pump or something else to heat your home?
Furnaces are one of the oldest forms of heaters in most homes across the country for a good reason. They are reliable, durable, and cost-effective. Some are powered by natural gas while others operate on oil. With the different types of power source available for furnaces, sometimes it can be a challenge for families to choose which type to install in their homes.
Before making a decision, know the difference between the two.
Natural gas is a reliable source and is available 24/7. The underground pipeline that is connected from the house to its underground source always produces gas whenever it is needed. Unlike other types of heat source that falters when there is a severe storm or power interruption, the pipes remain secure and gas is abundant.
Heating oil is the safe option because the oil used is stable and non-flammable. The risks of fires or accidental explosions, and combustion-related mishaps are lowered and this has been tested over time.
With so many considerations to sort out, it’s best to talk to an expert in home comfort. Marthedal Solar, Air & Heating has been in the HVAC industry for more than forty years.
