Did you know
There’s a lot of science that goes into ensuring your home stays comfortable all year round. Your homes’ size, layout, windows, insulation, duct size and much much more, all play a part in your comfort… Don’t leave your heating and cooling needs to the “trunk-slammers”…!
Most homes in Canada today have a forced-air heating system. A forced hot air furnace draws the room air through ductwork to a furnace, where the air is filtered and heated. The warmed air is then blown back into the rooms through other ductwork.
It goes without saying that not all forced air heating systems have the same performance standards. There are a number of options to consider including noise level, energy efficiency, comfort level, convenience and price which can all, vary widely between different heating units.

Do you hate seeing that utility bill every month?
Do you feel like you have cold toes and suffocate in the winter?
How long and harsh is the winter where you live?
This will help you decide which forced air heating system to choose.
Furnace Design in Forced Air Heating Systems
Furnaces come in “upflow,” “downflow” and “horizontal” models designed to accommodate basement, crawl spaces or limited-space installation. The terms mean exactly what they seem to mean. With older gravity furnaces, the heated air is delivered by natural convection, not by a blower. The warm air simply rises through the ducts to heat the rooms above. The larger your home, the bigger the furnace you’ll typically need although, this again widely varies depending on how your home was built and how insulated it is. It’s always best to speak with a professional HVAC contractor like Sheaves Mechanical before determining the best design for your home.
