Types of Heating Systems for New Hampshire Homes
Several types of heating systems are commonly used in homes today. Our specialists help determine which system is best based on your home’s size, insulation levels, and heating needs.
Furnaces
Many homes use forced-air furnaces fueled by natural gas, propane, or heating oil. Older furnace models typically operate with efficiencies between 68% and 83%. Modern high-efficiency furnaces can reach 90%–97% efficiency, significantly reducing heating costs.
Heat Pumps
Heat pumps are one of the most energy-efficient heating and cooling systems available today.
Rather than generating heat, heat pumps move heat from outside into your home during winter and remove heat during summer.
Because they transfer heat instead of creating it, they can deliver up to four times the energy they consume.
Cold climate heat pumps are specifically designed to operate efficiently in northern climates like New Hampshire.
Radiant Heating
Radiant heating systems deliver warmth through heated floors or wall panels.
These systems circulate warm water or electricity through tubing installed beneath flooring surfaces.
Benefits include:
- Even heat distribution
- Quiet operation
- Reduced dust circulation
- Increased comfort for allergy sufferers
Electric Baseboard Heating
Electric baseboard systems heat individual rooms through electric heating elements inside metal pipes.
These units are typically controlled by thermostat located within each room, allowing homeowners to manage heating in specific areas of the home.
Quality baseboard units are often certified by safety organizations such as Underwriters Laboratories or the National Electrical Manufacturers Association.
Choosing the Right Heating System
The most effective heating system for your home depends on several factors:
- Local climate
- Size of the home
- Age of the home
- Existing heating infrastructure
- Insulation levels
Our team evaluates these factors during your home energy assessment to recommend the most efficient solution.
ENERGY STAR Certified Equipment
When selecting new heating equipment, choosing systems certified by ENERGY STAR helps ensure high performance and efficiency.
ENERGY STAR is a program developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy to identify energy-efficient products.
