Furnaces

Burning fuel produces heat, as the hot gasses travel through metal tubing called the heat exchanger. Sometimes a heat exchanger cracks or contains holes, leading to leaks of carbon monoxide, “The Silent Killer”, into your home.

It’s crucial to have a UGI HVAC technician service your furnace annually to prevent problems such as carbon monoxide poisoning.

Hot Water Heaters and Boilers

A water heater is a drum filled with water, which is cooled and heated through the use of a heating element. When a room’s temperature drops below the set point on the thermostat, this triggers the process of turning on the boiler system.

A qualified UGI HVAC technician should be contacted if any of the following occurs:

• Noisy or smoky burner operation
• Excessive air noises
• Water dripping at relief valve
• Water dripping at piping connections
• Smell of heated oil or natural gas

Heat Pumps

A heat pump requires minimal amounts of energy to circulate heat. During the winter, heat is taken from the outside air through copper coils. During the summer, very similar events take place except in the opposite direction. Did you know that a heat pump can effectively and efficiently heat homes with outside temperatures as low as 20 degrees Fahrenheit! No ducts? No problem – “ductless” versions of heat pumps are available. Costs are kept under control due to the fact there is no need for heating oil or other fuel sources.

It is important to have your heat pump system inspected on an annual basis by a certified UGI HVAC technician.

Air Cleaners, Humidifiers and Other Indoor Air Quality Products

Ongoing research proves indoor air pollution is 100 times worse than outdoor air pollution. We spend the majority of our time indoors, especially so in the long winters, and major health concerns can arise if pollution is left unaddressed.

One of the very harmful pollutants are emissions from faulty appliances, such as a stove or furnace. It’s important for trained technicians to evaluate your home equipment annually, as, generally, two out of three indoor air quality issues involve the improper functioning of the HVAC system.

Baseboard Heating

Water is heated in the boiler, the most common fuel sources being gas and fuel. A circulating pump will distribute heated water throughout the home, and hot water from the boiler is carried to the baseboards by copper water lines. Each unit has a thermostat.

Skilled UGI HVAC technicians can install or repair your home’s baseboard heating.

Radiant Heating

Electric heating coils are installed under your home’s floors, so the heat produced under the floors can warm rooms from the floor up. With radiant floor heating, as opposed to standard air systems, your room temperature is more constant, plus it is more economical to operate than furnaces.

Whether your home is new (which would be the best applicant for radiant heating) or older – expert UGI HVAC technicians can successfully install radiant floor heating for you.

Geothermal

Did you know that your own backyard has the potential to be an energy source for your home’s heating and cooling solutions? Geothermal Heat Pumps (GHPs) are built to use the renewable energy of the Earth. The systems use significantly less electricity than conventional heating or cooling systems to keep your house comfortable year-round.

GHPs can be installed by proficient UGI HVAC technicians in both new and retrofit situations.
