How does a furnace work?

A forced-air furnace heats your home through a heating cycle that looks like this:

  • Natural gas or propane is ignited in the burner.

  • The flames heat a metal heat exchanger and exhaust out of the flu.

  • The heat exchanger transfers its heat to the incoming air.

  • The furnace's blower forces the heated air into the ductwork and distributes it throughout the home.

  • As the warm air fills each room, the colder, denser air is drawn back into the furnace via the return ducts, repeating the process.

Many components work together in a furnace to help keep you comfortable. With so many types of models on the market, it can be tough to know what they are and their functions.

  • Thermostat

  • Draft Hood/Fan

  • Burners

  • Heat exchanger

  • Blower

  • Flue
