Some Oil Furnaces Lower Your Energy Bills

What Kinds of Oil Heating Are There?
There are three subtypes of oil heating. One is a furnace; the other two are a type of boiler.
- Warm Air
These forced-air units work essentially the same as gas furnaces. First, they warm the air in the heat exchanger. Next, a system of blowers (motorized fans) circulates the air into your ducts. Finally, the warmed air exits through vents to boost the temperature inside your home.
- Hot Water
These systems use burners to boil a tank full of water—the water cycles through pipework inside your home. Then, the hot water warms up the heating modules in your home through baseboards, radiators, or radiant floor heating.
- Steam
Steam units are much like hot water units—they use burners to boil water in a tank. They also are a form of radiant heating. The difference is that they disperse steam instead of liquid water throughout the pipework in your Livonia, MI, home.
