A forced air heating system uses a furnace to heat air, which is then distributed throughout the building via ductwork and vents.
Forced air heating
No, because it is a heating system, not a cooling system
No, in Canada, a forced air heating system is most common as it is relatively low cost source of heating. With a forced air heating system, heat is usually delivered through a metal duct system throughout a house or building.
A forced-air heating system includes fans to circulate warm air throughout the space. The warm air is generated by a furnace or heat pump and distributed through ductwork to different rooms in the building.

Forced air heating works by the warm air being pumped through the system and pipes so that it radiates the heat out into the room. This is a quicker but more expensive way of heating than convection.
A forced hot water heating system is more energy efficient, provides consistent warmth, and is quieter compared to other heating systems like forced air or electric baseboard heaters.
In a forced-air heating system, a blower motor pushes warm air produced by a furnace through ductwork to different rooms in a building. As the warm air rises, cooler air is drawn into the ducts to be heated, creating a continuous circulation of air by convection. This method efficiently and evenly distributes heat throughout the space.
No, there is no blower or duct work. You can't chill the water in the heating system and get cold air out of it.
Convection
I think it uses radiant energy
True. In a forced-air heating system, warm air is circulated through the space using a fan or blower, which creates airflow and distributes the heat through convection. The warm air rises and displaces cooler air, creating a cycle that helps to evenly heat the space.
