The fuel burns in the burner, creating heat that moves to a heat exchanger. This part warms the air, which then travels around the building through ducts or radiators. A thermostat controls the temperature by watching it and telling the furnace to start or stop as needed, keeping the indoor temperature right.<\/span><span
