Best Answer

Most furnaces burn some kind of fuel. The fuel (wood, oil, coal, etc) contains chemical energy bound up in its molecular structure. Oxygen from the air is combined with the fuel and breaks old chemical bonds to form new chemical bonds with less energy. The extra energy is released as heat and light.
