From there, depending on which one of the three types of systems from above you have, the system works differently to send the heat throughout your home. In the two types of water-based systems (hot water and steam), water is heated in either a cast iron or steel boiler before moving through your home. In the hot water system, radiators and baseboards disperse the heated circulated water. In a steam system, water condenses to steam and runs through the pipes to the radiators. In a warm air system, your furnace heats the air, and a blower forces the heated air though the ducts to the vents in your floors or walls. The furnace draws the air back through a return duct, repeating the cycle continuously. The fuel-and-air-combustion emissions exit the system by way of a flue pipe running out through your chimney.

With an oil furnace, oil must be delivered to your home. It's not dispensed through a pipe like a gas furnace. Ultimate Heating & Air can take care of that task for you. Call us, and we'd be happy to go over what's entailed in oil delivery. Some customers like to have their oil delivered right before the cold season hits to take advantage of lower oil costs. Others like to wait until they actually need to use their furnace before they have it delivered. Either way, we can set up a schedule that works best for your needs.
