Heating System Work

You take great pride in your home, your furnishings, and your outdoor spaces. So, why are you still hanging on to that old boiler or furnace?

This is the year you should “spring” for an upgrade – especially if your system did not perform at its best this past brutal winter.

5 benefits of upgrading to a new, high-efficiency heating system:

  1. Less Fuel … More Money: a new boiler or furnace with a higher Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) will operate more efficiently, converting more fuel into heat rather than losing it up the chimney. Your older system may have an AFUE in the mid-60% range where a newer system boasts ratings of 90% or higher. You’ll be burning less fuel, receiving the same amount of satisfying warmth, and enjoying savings of up to hundreds of dollars each year.
     
  2. A Reliable System Means Dependable Warmth: Older systems, especially those that have not received annual maintenance, have a tendency to break down, causing an interruption in comfort. A new system is reliable, dependable, and provides more consistent warmth, so you don’t have to worry about your heating system leaving you in the cold
     
  3. Higher Efficiency = Cleaner Burning: A new heating system with a higher AFUE will burn cleaner. So, not only will you benefit from upgrading but so will the environment!
     
  4. More Space in the Basement: Heating systems installed during past decades have a tendency to be oversized. Today’s modern oil-fired systems are compactly designed for those hard-to-fit spaces in the basement, giving you more room.
     
  5. Add More Value to Your Home: If you are thinking of selling your home, one good way to increase the selling price is by upgrading your heating system. Even if you are not planning to move, a new system will pay for itself in as little as five years – a very economical investment.
