Warm Air Heating: What is it?

Warm air heating works in the following way:

  • The system has a vent to the outside of your property which it uses to draw air in
  • The drawn in air is heated over a gas-powered flame (for the gas-powered type)
  • The warm air is provided into areas of your property via a system of:
    • Ducts
    • Vents
    • Grills
    • The system is managed in a lot of cases by use of a thermostat

Type: Gas fired

Warm Air Heating: What do I need to consider?

There are a few points you may consider are a negative of a warm air heating system. You should have a think about these prior to committing financially to this heating system option:

  • Quite a number of warm air heating system units will not have a water heating capability. This would mean that you will likely need to have in your property a separate water heating unit such as an immersion heater or a boiler for hot water provision
  • If your house does not already have ducts from an exiting warm air heating system putting them in can be a challenge. It can also mean the possibility of having ducts that are visible in every room where you want the warm air to come out
  • A warm air heating system will push air which can include allergy causing dust unless you have the filter option fitted
