HEATING QUESTIONS?
Frequently Asked Questions
Navigating your home’s heating needs can bring up a lot of questions. To help you make informed decisions, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most common queries we receive from homeowners. If you have a question that isn’t answered here, please feel free to contact our knowledgeable team for assistance.
How often should I have my heating system serviced?
We recommend having your heating system professionally inspected and tuned up once a year, ideally in the fall before the heating season begins. Annual maintenance helps ensure safety, efficiency, and reliability and is often required to keep manufacturer warranties valid.
What are the signs that I might need a new furnace?
Common signs include a system over 15 years old, rising energy bills, frequent, costly repairs, inconsistent heating throughout your home, and unusual noises like banging or rattling.
What is the difference between a furnace and a boiler?
A furnace heats air, which is then distributed throughout your home through a ductwork system. A boiler heats water, creating hot water or steam that circulates through pipes to radiators or radiant flooring systems to heat the home.
Do you offer emergency heating repairs?
Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency answering services to connect you with the heating repairs you need. We understand that you can’t predict when your system will fail, and our technicians are on standby to restore your heat as quickly as possible, no matter the time or day.
How can I make my heating system more efficient?
Besides regular professional maintenance, you can improve efficiency by changing your air filter regularly (every 1-3 months), sealing air leaks around windows and doors, ensuring your vents are not blocked, and using a programmable or smart thermostat to optimize heating schedules.
