Before the winter arrives, speak with a heating contractor about your current HVAC system. If you live in an older home, you may still have heat from an oil tank or electric panels. This isn’t always energy efficient and without forced air, you may have pockets of the house that get extremely cold in the winter and hot in the summer. This can leave some members of your family comfortable while the others shiver.
In order to determine the best way to resolve your heating challenges, we need to come out and inspect your home to see what type of system you have in place now and why it isn’t working. We will also look for areas in your home that may have air leaks. Even if you have a current HVAC system, an air leak can limit its functionality while also increasing your monthly bill.
As a heating contractor, we can then determine the best way to replace your current heating system or HVAC unit in order to keep your home comfortable. We will also look for ways to incorporate energy saving features so that your home can operate more efficiently. This may include installing a smart thermostat that can be programmed to control the temperature of your home and keep it at certain levels at various times throughout the day. For example, you don’t need to heat or cool your home to the same degree when you aren’t there as compared with when you are. By programing your home to keep a set temperature while you are at work then heat up when you are headed home, you can save energy while remaining comfortable.
When hiring a heating contractor it is important to find someone that is experienced in replacing units in existing homes. There is a big difference between installing an HVAC system in new construction before the walls are in and doing it after the fact. It is more challenging to replace the system with the walls already in place and if not done correctly, replacing your heating units can create massive damage throughout the rest of your home. This can be both inconvenient and costly. Our experts understand how to replace your unit while keeping your walls as intact as possible. If we need to get into them, we can do so carefully, with minimal damage, and clean up after ourselves.
It is also important to remove your old heating unit carefully. For example, electrical wall panels cannot be taken out without turning off the electricity to your home, so you may want to spend the day elsewhere. This is even trickier if you have an oil tank in the house or underground. The oil needs to be drained, and it must be removed with extreme caution in order to prevent any leaks. Underground tanks pose a particular risk as they are known to corrode over time. Don’t try this on your own. Instead, call us to discuss your options. A Heating Contractor Can Keep You Warm and Toasty This Winter
