Electrical furnaces are not used often Atlanta, GA area because of the availability of natural gas. However, they are far cleaner and offers ease of operation than their counterparts that run on fossil fuel, wood or coal.

Basically, electric furnace is used to blow warm air into the enclosed space using a blower fan. Thermostat is used to control the temperature of air inside the room. Let us explore its mechanism for better understanding.

Mechanism

• Thermostat comes with a thermostat to measure the temperature, which is quite different than our clinical thermometer.
• This thermostat comes into action when temperature within enclosed space drops down than the set level.
• This leads to switching on the heating coil and the blower of the electric furnace, generally installed in basement or outside.
• A heating coil is made up of resistive material that is coiled and arranged in close loops to offer adequate length within a tiny space.
• When electric current is passed to heat this coil uniformly, the produce heat is transferred and blown into the enclosed space (room) blower fan.
• This initiates the process of air circulation where your furnace draws colder air in from outside; this air gets heated up and again blown into the house.
• This is an energy efficient practice where heated air is being re-circulated, and it helps to bring down the monthly electricity bill.

As you can easily understand, electric furnaces offer one of the most efficient, non-polluting and economical options of heating. Moreover, because they are powered by electricity, you can go for more advanced controls with electronic automation for optimizing their performance.
