A heating system is a device that uses water or air to transport heat to each room, through several types of fuels: oil, gas, wood and electricity. With the harsh winter climate on the South Shore, you need a heating system that is not only efficient, but also adapted to your needs.

What are the different types of heating systems?

You will find a variety of heating systems on the market, for all types of homes. Here is an overview:

• Electric baseboards: This is the most popular and least expensive heating system to install. The main advantage of electric baseboard heaters is that they are 100% efficient, since all the energy consumed is converted into heat.**
• Gas furnace: The gas furnace is a warm air heating system and offers an efficiency of over 90%, thus little heat loss. However, the gas furnace can be expensive to purchase and requires the installation of venting and a chimney.
• Electric furnace: The electric furnace is an advantageous heating system because it can be installed anywhere and does not require the installation of a chimney. It is also inexpensive and quiet.
• Oil furnace: When used in dual energy mode with a heat pump, the oil furnace becomes the most economical heating system to use. However, installation costs are higher, since it is necessary to install a chimney or a wall venting system.
• Radiant heating system: The radiant heating system is the most comfortable because the heat emanates from the floor and is distributed evenly. However, radiant heating is very expensive, especially if it requires the installation of heating pipes under the floor.**
• Forced-air heating system: The forced-air heating system offers the most advantages. In addition to providing efficient ventilation, it requires little maintenance. You can also add an air conditioner or heat pump. However, the installation costs of such a system are quite high.
• Electric boiler: The electric boiler heats the water with electric resistances and then conveys the hot water into the distribution network with the help of a pump. The main advantage of this type of heating is that it can distribute heat through electric baseboards and underfloor heating.
• Wall-mounted / central heat pump: Whether wall-mounted or central, the heat pump can be used as a supplementary heating system. It can also be used to maintain an acceptable level of humidity (between 35% and 55% in winter).
