There are three main categories of heaters; central heating systems, ductless heating systems and direct heating systems. Which one is right for you depends on your home, budget and other factors.
Central Heating Systems
A central heating system uses ductwork to deliver heat throughout your home. The heater could be a furnace or heat pump. There are also boilers, which are a special category of central heating.
Gas furnaces are the most common type of heater. They are energy efficient and relatively affordable to have installed. Other options are electric and oil furnaces.
A heat pump heats and cools your home. There are air heat pumps and ground source heat pumps. Both are highly energy efficient, even more so than furnaces, but cost more upfront.

Ductless Heating System
Ductless heating systems don’t use ducts or vents. They have a separate unit in each room that is connected to an outdoor unit through tubing. Because they don’t use ducts, they are more efficient than central heating systems. It’s also easy to zone your home, so you only heat the rooms you want to.
Direct Heat Systems
This type of heating system applies heat directly from a heat source. Types of these systems include gas-fired, unvented gas-fired and electric space heaters. They’re good for heating a small space or room.
