If you are like most Northeast Ohio homeowners, you are using the last of the warm, sunny days to prepare your home for winter. Now is the perfect time to schedule a furnace, boiler or heat pump inspection and take care of any needed repairs. Once it gets cold, you will want that heating unit to be ready to go.
Most heating and cooling companies offer a multi-point check up for your furnace or heating unit. These inspections assure that all moving parts are in good working order and lubricated, and filters are replaced. Another benefit to homeowners is staying ahead of potential break downs, especially with older units.
Your heating and cooling specialist also can advise you as to whether you might be better off replacing your furnace, boiler or heat pump rather than continuing to put money into maintenance and repairs of your older unit. Many new heating systems are extremely efficient, environmentally friendly and can save you money on utility bills while actually keeping your family more comfortable. While some of these new systems cost a little more to install, the savings on heating costs typically recoups the investment in about five years.
If a check up on your heating system has convinced you it is time for a new one, today’s high efficiency furnaces and geothermal heating systems provide a comfortable living environment that work well with current high tech demands of zone heating and wireless technology. On the other hand, keeping your older unit running doesn’t mean these newer features are not an option. Your fall inspection is the perfect time to ask about retrofitting your current furnace, heat pump or boiler to accommodate zone heating and remote controls.
