Even though electric heating is not new, forced air electric furnaces have been available in large quantities for only a few years. Electric furnaces, although similar in appearance to gas furnaces, are quite different. They do not require gas piping or venting. They do, however, require that high capacity electric circuits be installed to the furnace. Electric furnaces are more flexible than gas furnaces because there is no specific position in which to install them. The only requirement is that all components be accessible for installation and service. 2, record 5, English, - electric%20furnace

Chauffage central électrique. Les fournaises électriques à air chaud fonctionnent de la même façon que les fournaises au gaz sauf que le brûleur est remplacé par un jeu de deux à cinq éléments de chauffe à résistance électrique. Un courant passe à travers les éléments de chauffe, ce qui provoque le dégagement d'un flux concentré de chaleur. Un ventilateur, situé dans le carter de la fournaise, fait circuler cette chaleur à travers la maison. 2, record 5, French, - g%C3%A9n%C3%A9rateur%20%C3%A9lectrique%20d%27air%20chaud

Forced Air Wood Furnaces. Central wood-burning furnaces are controlled by a wall mounted thermostat in the living area. Temperature and fan controls are the same as those found on oil and gas furnaces. Unlike room heaters, which produce a steady heat output by periodic manual adjustments of the draft control, most wood furnaces operate in cycles. A cycle starts with the thermostat sensing that heat is needed in the room where it is located. It signals the furnace control system which opens the combustion air damper and a hot fire develops. When the air inside the furnace's sheet metal casing gets hot, a preset fan control starts the circulating blower and the warm air is moved through the ducts to all areas of the house. 1, record 19, English, - forced%20air%20wood%20furnace
