Stay Warm, Stay in Budget
Last winter you kept your home just one step above “igloo” settings to use less fuel, because the year before you complained about every bill! Whether you use heating oil, propane, natural gas, or even electricity to heat your home, costs are rising. Make this the year you upgrade to new, higher-efficiency heating equipment. Don’t forget to ask us about available rebates and tax credits you may be eligible for, too!
Repairing versus Replacing your Heat System
Many times, customers choose to repair an older system rather than replace it. We understand. Replacing your heating system is an investment. But there are times when repairing old equipment can end up costing you more! If it is time to replace your heating system, we can help you get the best equipment for your budget. We will also help you find available manufacturer or trade rebates as well as tax credits up to $2,000 and other incentives from the Inflation Reduction Act. New heating equipment will use less energy to provide more heating, no matter if you use natural gas, propane, electricity, or heating oil.
The system will also work better– getting to your desired temperature and staying there more consistently. So how do you know if it is time to upgrade?
Helpful Tips
Here are five tips to consider:
• Did you use more energy than usual last year, even if you tried to keep the thermostat low? Your heating system loses efficiency over time, even with regular maintenance.
• Did your system break down frequently last season? The older the equipment is, the more it will fail, leaving you in no-heat emergency situations.
• Is your system more than 10 years old? Technology has advanced so much in the last few years that even a 10-year-old boiler or furnace is outdated. The newer models include smart technology, system analytics, and advanced burner features, to provide higher levels of efficiency.
• Have our service techs suggested that “it might be time?” Please trust them! They are in your home, probably more often than you would like, if it is time for an upgrade. They work hard to keep your heating equipment running smoothly, but can also see when the end is near!
• Is a pending repair going to cost almost as much as a new furnace or boiler? If so, it is time to consider reaching for the new unit. If you answered yes to one or more of the above points, give us a call. We can review your options, show you how much you can save each month in energy costs, and help you find low-interest financing. You’ll be glad you did when you enjoy the winter.
