If you don't have a heating system in your home right now, then you should have one put in. Once you have a heating system installed you won't have to worry about freezing inside when you should be warm and cozy in your home. When deciding which type of heating system to have installed, you are going to want to know which ones offer the features you want in your home. Here are some popular heating system types for residences and some features each one has available to use if you decide to go with them.

In-floor heating system

An in-floor heating system is one that works to heat your home by heating the flooring. Once the heating system has heated the flooring, the warmness will then make its way up into the rest of the room. The great thing about this type of heating is that it does keep the floors warm, along with warming the air in the room. This means when you get out of bed during the colder winter months you will step out of bed onto a nice warm floor, instead of a cold one that can send you back in bed and under your covers for more warmth. This type of heating is also nice because it is so quiet. Once the floor is heated, the warmth will also last longer in the rooms that are being heated.

Central heating system

A central heating system is one where the air is pulled form the home and then heated and pushed back through the home in ducts and deposited in the rooms through registers. Generally, the central systems are air conditioning and heating, which means you will be comfortable year-round when you have this type of system in the home. One of the great things about this system is you set the thermostat and the system will work to achieve that temp. Also, when the air is pulled in through the filter and then put back into the room it will be cleaner, which is good for allergies. Another great feature is the system's ability to keep the whole home at one temperature.

Radiator heating systems

A radiator heating system is one where a boiler will generate steam or hot water. Then, that steam or hot water will be sent to the radiator, which then puts the heat out into the room. Once the water is cooled  it goes back through the system to be heated again. This type of system provides a lot of heat in one part of the room, but that heat can be pushed around as needed with fans. This makes it easy for you to control the heat exactly how you want.
