If you are like most, it may not be much, and that is okay! Here are 10 furnace facts that can come in handy at any time.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Furnaces_are_the_most_common_source_of_heat_in_homes\"><\/span>1. Furnaces are the most common source of heat in homes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It is a well-known fact about furnaces that they are found in almost all American homes. They usually work by sending heated air through air ducts and can be powered by oil, gas, electricity or a combination.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Furnaces_can_last_many_years\"><\/span>2. Furnaces can last many years<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to determining how long a furnace will last, there are a lot of things that need to be taken into account. However, a furnace fact that is worth noting is that they can last for up to 18-25 years if they are well maintained.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Furnaces_have_been_around_for_a_long_time\"><\/span>3. Furnaces have been around for a long time<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/furnace-facts-2-300x189.jpg\" alt=\"Furnace Facts &amp; Tips\" width=\"300\" height=\"189\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-5342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/furnace-facts-2-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/furnace-facts-2.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While furnaces may be thought of as a modern convenience, a furnace fact that is not well known is that these heat producing tools have been around for centuries. The Roman Empire first used furnaces to heat up public places and homes. Monks also used furnaces to heat the running rivers around their monasteries.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Furnaces_are_made_up_of_three_main_components\"><\/span>4. Furnaces are made up of three main components<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Most homeowners do not realize what parts make up their furnaces. Your furnace is made of three main components; a burner, a heat exchanger, and a blower. Each of these work in combination to produce heat and distribute it throughout the home.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Furnace_installation_is_regulated_by_the_government\"><\/span>5. Furnace installation is regulated by the government<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Both the federal and local governments regulate your furnace&rsquo;s installation for your safety and protection. It is because of this furnace fact that you have to get your furnace installed by a certified technician.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Gas_furnaces_are_most_common\"><\/span>6. Gas furnaces are most common<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A cool fact on furnaces is that despite there being several types available, most homes today use gas furnaces. This is because they come with high-efficiency ratings and can be used almost everywhere including rural areas.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_There_are_5_types_of_gas_furnaces\"><\/span>7. There are 5 types of gas furnaces<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Gas furnaces come in 5 standard types. This includes horizontal gas furnaces, packaged gas furnaces, upflow gas furnaces, downflow gas furnaces, and lowboy gas furnaces.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Never_store_things_around_the_furnace\"><\/span>8. Never store things around the furnace<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>An often forgotten or overlooked furnace fact is that you should never store flammable items directly around the furnace. As many homes have their furnaces set up in the basement, which also serves as the storage area, it is important to make sure that the area around the furnace is clear.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Read_the_manufacturers_warranty_or_policy\"><\/span>9. Read the manufacturer&rsquo;s warranty or policy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As with many appliances and large purchases, many homeowners do not take the time to go through the warranty or manufacturer&rsquo;s policy before making a purchase. An unpopular furnace fact is that not every part is covered in the warranty. Because of this, it is important that you familiarize yourself with the warranty policy before buying a furnace.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Schedule_regular_maintenance_to_protect_your_furnace\"><\/span>10. Schedule regular maintenance to protect your furnace<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The last of our furnace facts is a reminder of the importance of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/why-regular-furnace-maintenance-is-important\/\">regular furnace maintenance<\/a>. Regular maintenance can help you save a lot in terms of repair costs while improving efficiency!
