If you’re a homeowner with an outdated heating system, you may be biding your time until you get a new one. We understand that researching and purchasing a new heating system is a huge undertaking, not to mention an expensive one.
But waiting for that old heating system to break down before you get a new heating installation in Milford, CT might be costing you more than you think. Investing in a new heating system has benefits that go beyond just keeping you safe and warm. Today’s heating systems are engineered to use less energy which can result in substantial savings on your heating costs. Let’s go over three great reasons to upgrade that old heating system.
1. Greater Efficiency
If your heating system is in the 10–15 year age range (or even older), it’s not as efficient as it was when it was new. As a heating system ages, it becomes less efficient—especially if you haven’t scheduled annual maintenance for it. Even a standard heating system will run more efficiently than a high-efficiency heating system that is 10–15 years old. By upgrading your system, you can look forward to a more eco-friendly system that uses less energy. You’ll also enjoy a reduction in your heating costs.
2. Greater Home Comfort
Do you dread the arrival of winter because you know your heating system isn’t up to par? A new heating system will boost your home comfort levels. Today’s systems are designed to quickly and efficiently heat your home with improved heat distribution. They also run more quietly and have advanced filtration options to increase your indoor air quality. Advanced furnaces with variable-speed blowers can adjust the airflow to match the heating needs of your home.
3. More Options Than Ever
This could be one of the most compelling reasons to get a new heating system: you now have more options than ever before about how to heat your home. Although systems such as heat pumps and mini splits were available 10 years ago, they’ve surged in popularity over the last decade because they provide both heating and cooling.
Heat pumps are available in two options for their setup in your home: ducted and ductless. A ducted heat pump has a layout similar to a furnace. There is an indoor and outdoor unit and the indoor unit connects to your home’s ductwork to distribute heat. Is your home’s duct system even more outdated and problematic than your heating system? This is when ductless heat pumps become highly appealing.
Ductless heat pumps (also called ductless mini splits or just mini splits) are aptly named: they don’t use ducts to transfer the conditioned air into your rooms. Instead, mini air handlers are installed throughout your home. This setup brings a huge amount of benefits. The system will be more efficient than the other options because heated and cooled air won’t be lost to ductwork.
