What’s the best heating system for a house?

Regardless of the size and style of your home, it is imperative to have an efficient heating system to face the harsh winters that hit Quebec several months a year.

But what is the best heating system to have in your home? With its many years of experience, the Tran Climatisation team has studied the question for you to help you make the best choice for your heating system.

Central and wall-mounted heat pump

Did you know that the technology used in the heat pump was invented in 1856? Since then, the technology of the wall and central heat pump has evolved tremendously. The heat pump has become a versatile system that allows you to heat your home efficiently.

How does a heat pump work?

The principle of operation of the heat pump is based on the transfer of heat from one place to another. The heat pump absorbs heat from outside and transfers it inside your home. Generally, it captures the outside heat up to a temperature of -15°C and now up to -30°C. From this temperature, you will have to rely on a supplementary heating system such as electric baseboard heaters. This other system will take over when it gets colder.

The central heat pump includes an outdoor unit but requires a ventilation system in the house to distribute the heat more evenly throughout the house. The purchase cost is higher than a wall-mounted heat pump, but will be more cost-effective in the end.

What are the benefits of an heat pump?

  • Easy installation
  • Year-round comfort
  • Better energy efficiency
  • Can heat, cool and dehumidify your home
  • Low-noise indoor and outdoor units
  • Lasts between 10 and 15 years (with regular maintenance)

Forced-air central heating system

Forced-air heating systems can use natural gas, electricity or propane. It is usually powered by a furnace or boiler. 

How does a forced-air central heating system work?

In most cases, a forced-air central heating system is powered by a furnace. It distributes heat through a network of ducts to provide a comfortable temperature quickly, and in all rooms of the house.

What are the benefits of a forced-air central heating system?

  • Lifetime of 15 to 20 years (with regular maintenance)
  • Excellent energy efficiency
  • Uses a clean energy source (electricity, propane, natural gas)
  • Excellent durability
  • Requires little maintenance
  • Faster and more even heating
