Comfort
Comfort is the purpose behind any heating system.
“Temperature rise” makes the difference between
feeling warm, comfortable air from the registers in
your home or the feeling of cool air blowing across
you when the furnace is on. It is the difference
in air temperature from the point where it enters
the furnace to the point where it exits. e higher
the temperature rise—the warmer the air when it
enters the rooms of your home. ermo Pride has
a standard 70°F temperature rise across its full line
of oil furnaces. is is an air temperature up to
30°F warmer than the competition—providing a far
superior comfort level. e OMC furnace surpasses
this level of comfort with an 85% temperature rise.
ermo Pride’s revolutionary
Octatherm design forces flue
gases into a high rate of agitation as they pass through
the heat exchanger. is increases heat transfer and
efficiency, resulting in more uniform surface heating.
