New Year, New Heater

The New Year is here, and some homeowners may notice that their heater is struggling to keep up or that it costs extra to keep the home comfortable. With the holidays over and things starting to get back to normal, now may be the best time to look into a heater replacement. 

Heater installation can be a big decision, so homeowners should educate themselves to make the best decision at the right time. Here is some advice from local heater installation contractors that can help homeowners make good decisions regarding replacing their home’s heater. 

When is Heater Replacement a Good Idea? 

There’s no need to replace a heater before it is necessary, but how does one determine it is time? Heaters can last for a few decades, so it can be easy to overlook the signs that heater replacement is necessary as the heater ages. 

The first sign that a heater needs to be replaced is age. A heater over 15 years old is nearing the end of its useful life. Beyond this point, it will lose efficiency and cost more money in the form of utility bills and repairs. 

Homeowners should watch for warning signs that their heater is running less efficiently or may need to be replaced. These signs include a decrease in comfort levels despite the thermostat being set at the same temperature, a noticeable increase in energy bills, strange noises coming from the unit, and visible rust or corrosion on parts of the heater. If a homeowner notices any of these signs, it may be time to install a new heater.

Picking the Right Heater for a Home

  • Heat Pumps: Heat pumps are an alternative to furnaces and can be an excellent option for households that may not have access to other heating sources. Heat pumps are energy-efficient, cost-effective, and may even provide cooling in the summer. However, they may not be suitable for extremely cold climates due to their inability to generate sufficient warmth. 

  • Furnaces: Furnaces burn fossil fuels to provide warmth. Furnaces are generally reliable and last for many years. They generate heat quickly, which is perfect for cold winter months in areas that may experience extreme temperatures. The downsides to furnaces are that they have higher energy costs due to their constant fuel use. 

Don’t Forget Heater Maintenance

Most manufacturers stand behind their equipment by offering warranties on their heating systems. In most cases, the warranty is contingent on professional maintenance and repair. Scheduling heater maintenance on a new heater maintains the warranty as well as the heater so that homeowners are never left unprotected from faulty equipment.
