Commercial facilities often use different heating methods, but Moore’s services them all. From gas furnaces to heat pumps and boilers, our team brings decades of experience in diagnostics, repair, and replacement. Whether you manage an office complex, school, or healthcare facility, you can count on Moore’s to keep every system running reliably and efficiently.
Understanding the Differences Between Gas, Electric, and Hydronic Boiler Systems
Commercial heating systems come in many forms, each with its own unique operation and maintenance requirements:
- Gas Furnaces burn natural gas or propane to produce heat, distributing it through ductwork.
- Electric or Heat Pump Systems use electricity to move heat rather than create it, offering both heating and cooling capabilities.
- Hydronic Boilers heat water or steam to provide radiant warmth through pipes, radiators, or coils.
Understanding these differences is key to diagnosing issues accurately, and that’s where Moore’s expertise makes the difference.
Common Repair Needs for Each System Type
The differences between furnaces, heat pumps, and boilers go beyond how they operate. Each system has its own set of common issues that may require repair. Here are some of the most frequent ones for each heating method:
- Gas Furnaces: Common issues include gas leaks, ignition failures, and cracked heat exchangers that require expert inspection and prompt repair.
- Heat Pumps: Often experience refrigerant leaks, sensor malfunctions, or defrost control issues that affect heating efficiency.
- Boilers: May suffer from circulation pump malfunctions, pressure problems, or leaks in valves or expansion tanks.
Moore’s technicians are trained to identify and resolve these problems quickly, minimizing downtime and restoring comfort across your facility.
Commercial Heating System FAQs
What’s the difference between a furnace, a heat pump, and a boiler?
A furnace generates warm air, a heat pump transfers heat using refrigerant, and a boiler heats water or steam for radiant systems. Each serves the same purpose, but operates differently.
