How Furnaces Work

Gas furnaces is the main heating system for your home. It uses natural gas to heat up the air. The temperature settings are regulated through your home thermostat. If the internal temperature of your house dips the furnace will fire up to warm the air. 

The blower motor grabs the air and blows it to the heat exchanger. It then sends warm air through the air ducts and out to your vents in individual rooms. 

The gas valves in your furnace act as a regulator. It will regulate the amount of natural gas in the system.  â€‹
