Are induction furnaces cheaper to operate than forced air?
On One Hand: Induction FurnacesAccording to wisegeek.com induction furnaces are electric furnaces used for melting metal and are of two types: coreless and channel. The cost of operating an induction furnace varies according to the metal being melted. You can optimize your efficiency by melting metals that burn low KWH per ton. The best metals are aluminum and steel, which can melt at up to 11,000 kgs/hr.On the Other: Forced AirForced air HVAC systems are the most common kind of home heating/cooling systems in America. They operate by: 1. Drawing room air through ductwork and heating it within a furnace, either electrical or gas; 2. Re-distributing the warmed air throughout the house through other ducting. The price of running a forced-air system will vary according to local temperatures, frequency of use, and cost of electricity or gas.Bottom LineForced-air systems accomplish a task completely separate from induction furnaces. Forced-air circulates air through homes, while induction f
