Types of Heaters
Furnace
The most common heater found in households. A furnace operates by blowing heated air through your air ducts. The warm air circulates through your home and exits through your air grills or registers. This is called “warm air delivery.” A furnace can differ in its fuel source, but the most common is being powered by natural gas. Furnaces can also be fueled by oil or electricity.
Every furnace has a central area, otherwise known as the thermostat. The thermostat allows owners to adjust their desired temperature. Both gas and oil-powered furnaces take air and fuel, mixing and burning them. The flames produced will heat a heat exchanger that transfers heat into the air. An electric furnace, however, uses currents to heat coils.
Heat Pump
A heat pump has two main jobs: to heat and cool. When it comes to heating, the pump takes in the air from outside using electricity. The heat is then released into the home. The electricity being used here only moves the heat instead of generating it like an electric furnace. This method allows the pump to consume less energy while delivering more heat. The result of this is a more energy-efficient system.
In addition, a heat pump can also cool your home. For warmer seasons like summer, the pump moves heat from the cool indoors into the hotter outdoors.
Ductless
As the name suggests, this system lacks the duct system other heaters require. These units are typically installed into a wall for a room. The compact design allows for the specific heating needs in a room. Each unit has its own controller, allowing owners to pick their specific room temperature. As a bonus, a ductless system also cools your home.
This system offers several advantages over traditional heaters due to its lack of ducts. It allows for precise temperature control, which enhances energy efficiency. Having the ability to heat and cool in one system also boosts energy efficiency. Owners can easily adjust the heat output depending on whether a room is populated or empty. Without ducts, there is no need for regular cleaning, as vents are not part of the system. Additionally, the air quality is maintained by pre-installed filters with multiple layers, which help reduce airborne particles. The compact nature allows for a swift and easy installation by your Scott Hale technician.

Signs You Need Heater Replacement
Heating systems will start to show clear signs of wear after years of continual use. Repairs keep your system going for a while but after years of use, this will not be enough. Your system shows clear signs that it may need to be replaced. The signs include:
- Inconsistent/Uneven heating throughout the home
- Frequent repairs
- Unexpected increase in heating bill

Benefits of a New Heating System
The value of a new system lies in the multiple benefits that it provides for you. Newer models feature better technology for heating efficiency. The time it takes to heat your home is significantly reduced thanks to the newer tech. The higher efficiency means your house is heated quicker with less energy wasted. Less energy waste means less money out of your pockets from bills.
Heating Installation Cost
The big question when considering a new heating system is the cost. The minimum price will range around $2,000. The cost of a new system can vary greatly due to differing factors. These include the type of heater, needed repair work, or any duct installation.
Furnace installation prices can vary due to certain systems using fuel. Typically a furnace will range anywhere from $2,500 to over $4,000. The cost can vary depending on the brand purchased and the labor needed for the installation. Heat Pumps veer towards the pricier end due to their heating and cooling capabilities. A heat pump price can range from $4,000 to $7,000 depending on the size of your home and the system’s complexity. While the price tag appears alarming, a new heating system can provide better efficiency. Better heating efficiency can lead to reduced heating costs in the long run.
