Õhkküttega

õhkküttega refers to heating systems that use air as the primary medium for heat distribution. These systems typically involve a central heating unit that heats air, which is then circulated throughout a building via a network of ducts and vents. The heated air is blown from the furnace or heat pump into the living spaces, and cooler air is drawn back to the unit to be reheated. This process creates a continuous cycle of air circulation and temperature regulation.

The components of an õhkküttega system include a furnace or heat pump, a blower fan, ductwork, and thermostats. Furnaces commonly use natural gas, propane, oil, or electricity as fuel sources, while heat pumps utilize electricity to transfer heat from the outside air or ground into the building. The blower fan is responsible for moving the heated air through the ducts. Thermostats control the system by sensing the ambient temperature and activating or deactivating the heating unit as needed to maintain the desired temperature set by the occupants.

õhkküttega systems are known for their ability to provide rapid heating and are relatively straightforward to install and maintain. They can also be integrated with air conditioning systems, allowing for both heating and cooling through the same ductwork. However, potential drawbacks can include air leakage in ductwork, which can lead to energy inefficiency, and the possibility of dust and allergens being circulated throughout the home. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning air filters and inspecting ductwork, is crucial for optimal performance and air quality.
