gas furnaces

Basement heating units

Gas furnaces are heating systems that burn natural gas or propane to warm air, which is then distributed throughout a building via ductwork.

They are among the most common home heating methods in North America, valued for their efficiency and relatively low operating costs compared to electric heating.

A gas furnace typically includes a burner, heat exchanger, blower, and flue for venting combustion gases.

We had to replace our gas furnace before winter.
