The beginning of a new year is a time full of potential and the focus on new habits and patterns. Maybe you want to take up knitting or try a new sport or perhaps you want to try to get outside on a family walk more often. These are all great ideas, made better with the addition of a new heater in your home.
The new year is all about getting started right and what better way to do that than to upgrade your heater? We install heat pumps in Chicago, IL in a variety of homes to help keep people warm at an affordable cost. Here’s what you need to know about these systems so you can determine if one is right for you.
Each fall we stress to all our customers (and future customers) how important it is to schedule regular maintenance for their heating system—whatever type of heating system they have. There are many benefits of having this done, and one of them is it can help you find out if your heater is no longer up to the task of a Chicago winter. When you have a heating system that’s more than 15 to 20 years old, it’s probably ready to retire. During maintenance, a technician can tell you when it’s best to install a new heater.
A home heater that breaks down in winter for the last time is bad news. You want to have an old heating system replaced ahead of time to conform to your schedule, not the heater’s! So if your furnace, boiler, heat pump, or other system is already looking like it won’t make it through to spring, we recommend you start considering what type of heater should be installed to replace it.
