Common Types of Heating Systems We Install
Gas Furnaces
Gas-powered furnaces are the most common heating system in the Midwest. They burn natural gas in a sealed combustion chamber and distribute warm air through ductwork and vents. Some benefits include rapid heating and suitability for Iowa’s harsh winters.
Propane Furnaces
Propane-fired furnaces are popular in rural areas and older properties where natural gas pipes aren’t readily available. These systems burn propane to generate warm air, which is then circulated through ductwork to provide fast, consistent heating.
Electric Furnaces
Electric furnaces can be a great choice for homes without access to natural gas or propane. These systems use electric heating elements to distribute warm air, which is then distributed through ductwork to heat multiple rooms at once.
Electric Resistance Heating Systems
Electric resistance heaters, such as baseboard heaters, wall-mounted units, and radiant panels, heat individual rooms without ductwork. These systems provide targeted warmth to heat specific areas and are useful in homes where whole-house ductwork isn’t available.
Heat Pumps
Heat pumps transfer heat instead of generating it. They provide dual heating and cooling, making them a versatile choice for year-round comfort. While they perform best in moderate climates, cold-climate models are equipped to operate even in below-freezing temperatures.
Boilers
Some older homes and properties designed with radiator or baseboard heating use boiler systems instead of forced-air furnaces. Boilers can be fueled by natural gas or propane and heat water or create steam to provide steady, even heating.
What Type of Heater Is Best for My Home?
The best heater for your home depends on various factors, including:
System type. From boilers to heat pumps, we can help you choose between traditional ducted systems, ductless heating options, fuel types, and more.
Home size and layout. We can help you select and install a properly sized model that provides sufficient heating without unnecessary energy waste.
Energy efficiency. Heaters with high AFUE or HSPF/SEER ratings often cost more upfront, but can also improve comfort and reduce utility costs.
Cost. Long-term energy savings often outweigh higher installation costs. We can evaluate your budget and energy goals to help you find the best fit.
Maintenance requirements. Some heating systems require more regular servicing or filter changes than others, affecting both convenience and longevity.

When Should I Replace My Heater?
Most heating systems last 10-20 years with regular TLC. If your heater is over ten years old, constantly breaking down, or driving up your monthly energy bills, it might be more cost-effective to replace it altogether. We can evaluate your property, usage, and budget to recommend a suitable option for your needs. Our experts also offer preventive heating maintenance to keep your system operating efficiently for longer.
How Long Does It Take to Install a New Heater?
The timeframe for installing a new heater depends on the type of system, the complexity of the installation, and any modifications required to vents, ductwork, or electrical systems. Most installations take 4-8 hours to complete. Our technicians provide transparent pricing, detailed quotes, and realistic timeframes to help you move forward with confidence and clarity while keeping you up to date on our progress.
