2. Furnace (central heating) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furnace_(central_heating)

   The fourth category of furnace is the high-efficiency condensing gas furnace. High efficiency condensing gas furnaces typically achieve between 90% and 98% AFUE. [3] A condensing gas furnace includes a sealed combustion area, combustion draft inducer and a secondary heat exchanger. The primary gain in efficiency for a condensing gas furnace, as ...

3. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning - Wikipedia

   A drawback is the installation cost, which can be slightly higher than traditional HVAC systems. Energy efficiency can be improved even more in central heating systems by introducing zoned heating. This allows a more granular application of heat, similar to non-central heating systems. Zones are controlled by multiple thermostats.

4. Central heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_heating

   The primary energy source is selected on the basis of cost, convenience, efficiency and reliability. The energy cost of heating is one of the main costs of operating a building in a cold climate. Some central heating plants can switch fuels for reasons of economy and convenience; for example, a home owner may install a wood-fired furnace with ...

5. Home fuel cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_fuel_cell

   Residential fuel cells can have high initial capital costs – As of December 2012, Panasonic and Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd. sold about 21,000 PEM Eni-Farm units in Japan for a price of $22,600 before installation.

6. Forced-air gas - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced-air_gas

   High-efficiency condensing furnaces condense the water vapor (one of the by-products of gas combustion) and extract the latent heat to pre-heat the incoming furnace airflow, using a second heat exchanger. [2] This increases the efficiency (energy delivered into the building vs. heating value of gas purchased) to over 90%.

7. Ground source heat pump - Wikipedia
