In my comparison listening tests, Google's big speaker beat the Bose handily and matched the Sonos in many areas, with a powerful, spacious sound that fills a room well for a single speaker. I still prefer the Sonos by a nose overall, since it sounded less edgy with some styles of music, but both are excellent for this type of speaker and earned the same rating for sound quality. Play music from apps like YouTube Music, Pandora and Spotify by streaming over Wi–Fi.† Play, pause, skip, control the volume, and more with just your voice. If you want the best sound, the deepest bass, then the Google Home Max is the one to get. I have no complaints about this unit.

The biggest issue with the Max's sound was its potentially piercing midrange. Unfortunately I couldn't adjust it out; turning treble down all the way didn't help much. If you like Dick Dale or bluegrass violin solos, maybe you should consider a different speaker.

With this track spinning from Spotify, the Google speaker exhibited a huge sound that extended beyond the boundaries of the cabinet. All of the elements -- the singer's voice, the left-right panned shaker eggs, the various drums -- are treated equally, and none of them jut out awkwardly. In keeping with the minimalist aesthetic of products such as the Google Home Mini and Daydream View, the Google Home Max demonstrates that twill is the new piano black. The whole front of the speaker is covered in a gray cloth while the back is a smooth, matte plastic. Requires Wi-Fi connectivity for setup and operation.

You get deep layers of balanced bass along with crystal-clear highs. Room EQ adjusts the sound based on where you place it. Media EQ fine tunes the speaker so every song sounds its best. It's software that keeps getting smarter thanks to automatic updates.

I had mixed results with adjusting volume, although play/pause seemed to work fine. The sound can be a little too revealing, and guitar lines in particular can sound a little too piercing for comfort. If you mainly want background music, you should spend half as much on the Sonos One. Ty Pendlebury is a journalism graduate of RMIT Melbourne, and has worked at CNET since 2006.

Both speakers have a similarly energetic sound profile, but the Bose just can't match the Max's volume levels without distorting, even at only two-thirds of maximum. The Google speaker did sound a little scratchy at 100 per cent, so I backed it off to 90 per cent for most playback, which was still plenty loud for our 11-by-20-foot listening room. Despite the self-tuning capabilities of the Google speaker, I found that I needed to tweak it a little, especially when sitting on table in free space. For most material, adjusting the Max's bass by +3db in the Google Home app's settings helped propel rock and dance songs and reduce the brightness a tad. Shop your favorite products and we’ll find the best deal with a single click. The Max's response to voice commands was excellent, and it did a better job deciphering my Australian accent than the Sonos One with Alexa.

I love the charcoal color and the sound, crisp and full, especially the bass which can only be achieved with a speaker of this size. Is the Google Home Max the speaker that will tempt audiophiles away from their two-channel systems? This is a single-box speaker, and subject to all the compromises that type of form factor introduces. If you prioritize performance and are trying to decide between a pair of Maxes and a stereo system, the choice is easy -- get a stereo system. Compared to the more-expensive Bose SoundTouch 30, the Max blew it away.

Specify a sealed combustion furnace or boiler, which will bring outside air directly into the burner and exhaust flue gases directly to the outside, without the need for a draft hood or damper. Furnaces and boilers that are not sealed-combustion units draw heated air into the unit for combustion and then send that air up the chimney, wasting the energy that was used to heat the air. Sealed-combustion units avoid that problem and also pose no risk of introducing dangerous combustion gases into your house. In furnaces that are not sealed-combustion units, back drafting of combustion gases can be a big problem. Energy efficiency upgrades and a new high-efficiency heating system can often cut your fuel bills and your furnace's pollution output in half. This water flows to low-profile baseboard heating units that radiate the heat from the water out into the room via thin metal fins surrounding the water pipe, typically made of carbon steel.

Even so, in Britain today, where coal launched the Industrial Revolution more than 200 years ago, there is still a constituency for solid fuel heating. The Appalachian Region contains some of the most important deposits of bituminous and anthracite coal in the the eastern United States. Nine states contain what historically amounted to 75 percent of total annual coal production as recently as 1970. Increased production in the western U.S. has brought eastern production numbers to a lower fraction, but three of the largest coal-producing states are located in the east (Miller, 1-51). Anthracite coal, or hard coal, is abundant in the Northeastern United States. It naturally contains little sulfur, produces virtually no smoke or particulate emissions, and is clean to touch.

To get an idea of how much high-quality coal can produce, one ton of anthracite coal equals about 8,200-kilowatt hours of electricity. Those gases are then burned at high temperatures to produce heat that is transferred into the water jacket. The heated water is used through a series of exchange units to heat your home, hot water, swimming pool, or outdoor buildings. A coal-fired furnace such as our Heatmasterss C Series offers flexibility and can be easily connected to almost any existing heating system. When you replace an older furnace or boiler with a new 90+ AFUE appliance or a heat pump. In this case, the heating appliance will no longer vent into the old chimney, and if the combustion water heater is present it will now vent through an oversized chimney.

If you live in a cold climate, it usually makes sense to invest in the highest-efficiency system. In milder climates with lower annual heating costs, the extra investment required to go from 80% to 90% to 95% efficiency may be hard to justify. However, keep in mind that higher efficiency units will have lower emissions than units in the 80% range. Energy-efficiency improvements will save money on a new furnace or boiler, because you can purchase a smaller unit. A properly sized furnace or boiler will operate most efficiently, and you'll want to choose a dependable unit and compare the warranties of each furnace or boiler you’re considering.

This term is used to describe the overall climate control system within a home, referring to both the heating and cooling equipment. Coal ash is a byproduct of burning coal, which can come out powdery, coarse, molten, or wet. The amount of ash contained in coal can vary from just under 10% to as much as 20% or more.

Retrofitting Your Furnace or Boiler

Some fan-assisted, non-condensing furnaces and boilers, installed between 1987 and 1993, may be vented horizontally through high-temperature plastic vent pipe . This type of venting has been recalled and should be replaced by stainless steel vent pipe. If horizontal venting was used, an additional draft-inducing fan may be needed near the vent outlet to create adequate draft. Floor furnaces may have special venting problems because their vent connector exits the furnace close to the floor and may travel 10 to 30 feet before reaching a chimney.

Check to see if this type of venting or the floor furnace itself needs replacement. If you smell gases, you have a venting problem that could affect your health. Contact your local utility or heating contractor to have this venting problem repaired immediately. In reality, there are two types of systems used with these older radiators. True steam boilers actually do circulate gaseous steam through pipes to individual radiators, which then condenses back to water and flows back to the boiler for reheating. Modern radiator systems circulate hot water to radiators via electric pumps.

In the interest of environmental stewardship, restoring mined land has become a standard practice for types of surface mines through acts like the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act . By re-layering rock, dirt, and soil onto mined land, areas can become economically viable again for plants and animals to thrive. Most coal production in the U.S. is done by way of surface mining, rather than underground. Surface mining, as the name suggests, is done by removing the soil and rock covering the mineral deposits. This is done as opposed to underground mining, in which minerals are removed through shafts or tunnels.

Coal exists in almost all countries worldwide and is the most used solid fuel in the world. Known by the Greeks and Romans, coal received its first usage boost in Medieval Europe, several hundred years after the Roman Empire fell. During the Industrial Revolution, a coal boom arose from the use of coal to produce coke for iron smelting and fuel for locomotives and steam engines. Electric lighting of the late 1800s led to large scale coal combustion for electric utilities and independent power producers. After World War II, coal was still relied on for nearly 75 percent of total energy use in the United States (Miller, 1-51). Alternate Heating Systems manufactures alternative fuel burning heating equipment and sells throughout the US, Canada, and internationally.

Coal has been a steadfast source of energy in the United States for over 200 years. If your furnace or boiler is old, worn out, inefficient, or significantly oversized, the simplest solution is to replace it with a modern high-efficiency model. Old coal burners that were switched over to oil or gas are prime candidates for replacement, as well as natural gas furnaces with pilot lights rather than electronic ignitions. Newer systems may be more efficient but are still likely to be oversized, and can often be modified to reduce their operating capacity. Traditional boiler and radiator systems include a central boiler that circulates steam or hot water through pipes to radiator units positioned strategically around the house. Older homes and apartment buildings in North America often are heated with these systems.

Active solar heating may be the most efficient option for heating your home. Eliminate trapped air from hot-water radiators once or twice a season; if unsure about how to perform this task, contact a professional.

A central furnace or boiler's efficiency is measured by annual fuel utilization efficiency . The Federal Trade Commission requires new furnaces or boilers to display their AFUE so consumers can compare heating efficiencies of various models. AFUE is a measure of how efficient the appliance is in converting the energy from fuel to heat over the course of a typical year. In addition to conventional baseboard heaters, there are electric radiant heaters that heat with radiation.

Some HVAC systems share components with the home's cooling equipment, some work independently, and some provide both heating and cooling. Burning quality anthracite produces nearly 25 million gross BTUs per ton. It can conveniently be used in areas where wood stoves are banned or restricted due to factors such as air pollution or forest fire risk from chimney embers. Anthracite has both a higher relative energy density than bituminous, as well as a lower percentage of volatile matter.

China's coal fires destroy over five times more coal than the nation mines, and coal fires in China alone add up to about 3 percent of the whole Earth's fossil-fuel CO2 load. When I was a kid in the mid-1960s, we moved to a house that had a pile of coal in the cellar—lump coal, nice big chunks with a clean cleavage and little dust. The current heating system was a fuel-oil furnace, and all trace of the coal furnace was long gone. So for a while, my family revisited the 1800s, the days of King Coal, and burned coal at home.

The use of coal is discussed as an alternative fuel for home heating. A background on the formation, physical properties, and using coal as a fuel is presented. Then information on the selection of a stove, a safe installation, firing the stove, and using coal in central heating is covered. Your essential resource for all things home heating, from central heating and boilers to renewable energy solutions. The newest home heating technology is the heat pump, which uses a system similar to air conditioners to extract heat from the air and deliver it to the home via an indoor air handler.

It has been formed mostly from ancient organic matter under conditions of intense heat and pressure, and is a result of the conditioning of dead plant and animal material over thousands of years. As such, coal contains a high percentage of fixed carbon, the highest percentage of any fossil fuel. While carbon is an indispensable component of Earth’s biosphere, when burned in large quantities, carbon can disrupt environmental processes through its chief byproduct, carbon dioxide.

Standard home systems are air-source heat pumps that draw heat from the outdoor air. There are also ground-source, or geothermal, heat pumps that pull heat from deep in the ground as well as water-source heat pumps that rely on a pond or lake for heat. Your contractor should be able to give you energy fact sheets for different types, models, and designs to help you compare energy usage. See theefficiency standards for information on minimum ratings, and look for theENERGY STARwhen purchasing new products. Gasification converts biomass or coal into gases that are flammable due to the high content of hydrogen and carbon. In an outdoor boiler, coal is converted into energy through a controlled burn of a coal bed that becomes a mixture of high-energy gases.

Radiant heating is different from forced air heat in that it heats objects and materials, such as furniture and flooring, rather than just the air. Most whole-home radiant systems distribute heat via hot water heated in a boiler or hot water heater. However, boiler-based systems cannot be combined with air conditioning. Home heating systems are designed to increase the temperature inside a house by tapping thermal energy from a fuel source, then transferring it to living spaces. There are several types of systems used to provide heat in residential homes, and each broad type has more specific variations.

The True Cost of Heating with Wood & Coal I live in rural northwest Pennsylvania. When heating with wood or coal nothing can replace personal experience. The notorious London smog, which used to kill hundreds of people, was based on coal smoke.

Bituminous coal use has a long history in the U.S., seeing use from railroads to industrial plants to electricity generation. We continue to witness the rapid development of new, highly efficient heating sources, in response to a search for efficiency and environmental responsibility. Increasing attention is directed toward the carbon footprint of heating systems.

Most of this coal in the US has been mined in the Northeast, with nearly all anthracite coming from Pennsylvania. Roughly 4 to 6 billion tons of reserves of anthracite are left in Pennsylvania—enough to last another 300 to 500 years . A belt driven induction fan is included as standard on all Coal Gun boilers, except for the S130. The S130 comes standard with a direct-drive induction fan, where the fan motor is mounted directly to the fan cover plate. The motor shaft extends through this plate, the heat shield and abrasion shield, and the fan is mounted directly to the shaft.

WH certification is available on all Coal Gun boilers for an additional charge. This certification assures that the boiler complies to UL 2523 Standards. Some insurance companies may require this certification and it is the responsibility of the homeowner to determine the need for a WH certification on any boiler purchased.

Coal Gun boilers are created to be the last coal boiler you ever need to purchase. All in all, they are also easy to maintain, as they only need yearly cleaning. Our coal boilers are made by expert craftsmen and are over-engineered for lifetime durability. This is why many of our units are into their fourth decade of heating. No matter what kind of heating system you have in your house, you can save money and increase your comfort by properly maintaining and upgrading your equipment.

In older steam boilers, hot water releases its heat at the radiator, and the cooled water returns to the boiler for more heating. Expect to replace boilers and radiators about every 10 to 15 years, which typically costs between $3,700 and $8,200. An all-electric furnace or boiler has no flue loss through a chimney. The AFUE rating for an all-electric furnace or boiler is between 95% and 100%. The lower values are for units installed outdoors because they have greater jacket heat loss. However, despite their high efficiency, the higher cost of electricity in most parts of the country makes all-electric furnaces or boilers an uneconomic choice.

Some fan-assisted, non-condensing furnaces and boilers, installed between 1987 and 1993, may be vented horizontally through high-temperature plastic vent pipe . This type of venting has been recalled and should be replaced by stainless steel vent pipe.
