Why Ducted Heating Systems Are Ideal For Any Household

Posted on

As the name suggests, a ducted heating system is one that functions to provide heating throughout your residence using a network of ducts. A ducted heating system will be made of a heating unit that is connected to insulated ducts. These insulated ducts are installed in various rooms in your home according to where you would like the heat to be directed. A misconception some people have is that ducted heating systems are installed in homes during the construction process. The truth is you can opt to have a ducted system installed in your home even if you previously did not have the ducts and vents in place. Here are some of the reasons why ducted heating systems are ideal for any household. 

A ducted heating system is energy efficient

When it comes to selecting a heating system for your household, most homeowners would like one that enables them to use energy efficiently. With some heating units, you typically only have control over the temperature you would like for your residence. The heating system then distributes heat throughout the residence until this temperature is achieved. These systems are not the most energy efficient option as you inadvertently end up heating rooms that are not even in use. With a ducted heating system, you even have the chance of opting to zone your house. 

Zoning gives you the ability to control which rooms are heated individually, rather than having your entire house heated simultaneously. This enables you to keep your utility bills economical, as you will not be wasting energy by heating spaces that are unoccupied. You can make your ducted heating system even more energy efficient by opting to use natural gas as its energy source rather than electricity. 

A ducted heating system has high air quality

Another reason that ducted heating systems would be ideal for any residence is the high air quality they provide to the household. There are several ways that a ducted heating system has improved air quality when compared to other heating systems. Firstly, a ducted system does not dry out your indoor air. As such, there is a lesser risk of respiratory problems when using this system. 

Secondly, the central heating unit that the ducted heating system uses is located outdoors. This eliminates the chance of any fumes being circulated in your indoor air. 

Thirdly, ducted heating systems come with inbuilt filters. These eliminate any particles and contaminants from the air being circulated in your household.
