are well suited for active solar heating, since it employs the traditional air flow convection method. Although the active solar system can use conduction or radiation for harnessing and redistributing energy from the sun, the cost for this type of system may be higher, a point you will want to consider in the decision making process.  

Whichever solar heating system you are planning to install, it is highly recommended that you first ensure true certification of any contractors you are considering for the installation. A competent solar heating installer will have NABCEP certification and excellent references from previous installations. To ensure safety and functionality, as well as for your own personal comfort and long term investment, your choice of a solar heating system should also be a quality and SRCC rated product.
