The Oxford dictionary does not make heating equipment. Show us some

Show us some boiler makers that call them furnaces. Show us spec sheets
for home heating equipment where they call a hydronic system a furnace.
Context of the usage is everything. Would you walk into a supply house
and ask for a part for a furnace when it was a hydronic system?
Yeah, you probably would. Almost everyone else here would ask for a
part for a boiler.


Proving you wrong is like shootin' fish in a barrel.

Yeah, you got one **** ant manufacturer that nobody ever heard of
that sells heat pump systems, that used that as a cute name for
their product line. When you can show us Rheem,
Trane, Weil-McLain, Goodman, Burnhan, ie that the majors call boilers
furnaces and vice-versa, then I'll agree you have something. Show us
even one of the majors. If you walked into a supply house for a part
for a boiler, would you refer to it as a "furnace" at the counter?
