Trane
furnaces are uniquely designed to provide maximum heat with minimum
fuel usage. And they think for themselves. Key furnace control functions
are integrated into one microelectronic system that monitors the
thermostat and gas valve, ensuring precise temperature control.
What It Is
A furnace is the heating component in a majority of systems in
colder weather climates. It converts gas to heat. Another option is an
oil furnace that uses oil as its fuel instead of natural gas. The main
components to a furnace include burners and heat exchanger, blower and
controls. Trane gas and oil furnaces are built to perform again and
again, year after year. Beyond performance, we also provide options for
energy-efficient operation. In fact, some of our furnaces operate at
over 95% efficiency, which means that 95% of the fuel you pay for is
actually converted into heat for your home.
How It Works
A gas furnace, or forced-air heating system, reacts when the room air
temperature drops below your programmed setting on the thermostat. The
silicone nitride igniter lights a burner inside the combustion chamber.
The heat created is then pushed into the heat exchanger, where the air
is then heated. This newly heated air moves through the ductwork and
into the rooms of the house. The combustion gases used to create the
heat are vented through a flue in the roof or wall.
