Choosing and Installing a Furnace in Vancouver WA

Furnace Vancouver WAFurnaces are the most common residential heating system in the United States. AAA Air Supply Heating & Cooling installs and services all types of Vancouver WA furnaces, including oil, natural gas, and electric.

A furnace is a forced-air system. Air is drawn into the furnace, and passed through a filter, where small particles & dust are captured. The filtered air is forced by the blower unit through the furnace where it is warmed. The warmed air is then blown through a series of ducts into each room of your house.

The majority of furnace(s) installed by AAA Air Supply’s residential heating and cooling experts today are gas furnaces. On a gas furnace, the heat is supplied by the burning of natural gas. A mixture of gas and air flows into the burner and is ignited by the pilot. Combustion occurs, and warm air from the burner flame rises to fill a chamber known as a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger becomes hot, and air passing around the heat exchanger absorbs that warmth, continues into the air ducts and the heat is distributed through the home. The by-products of combustion pass upward through a venting system and escape through a vent in the roof. Over the years, manufacturers have made great improvements in the efficiency of these systems.

Here’s what makes your Vancouver WA “Furnace” work:

Furnace design has advanced in recent years to be far safer and more efficient than older designs. This is the result of improvements in the burner, the ignition, and the blower. Furnace heating efficiency is measured by an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) percentage. A higher AFUE percentage indicates a more efficient furnace.

The basic components of a furnace system are:

  • A burner, where natural gas or oil is delivered and burned
  • An ignition source, which is typically an electronic hot surface igniter that supersedes the old-style pilot light
  • A heat exchanger, where the heat from the burning gas is transferred to the air distribution system
  • Blower motor, such as the highly efficient electronically commutated motor (ECM) to propel air through the ductwork
  • Filtration and ductwork to circulate clean, warm air throughout the home
  • A flue or vent pipe to exhaust by-products of combustion (such as water vapor and carbon dioxide) outside. High-efficiency furnaces use special, corrosion-resistant vent-pipe materials.
