Do I Need a New Heater?

Deciding between a repair and a full replacement isn’t always straightforward. While a professional evaluation can help clarify the situation, there are several signs that can suggest it’s time for an upgrade. A newer system can deliver stronger performance, reduce energy costs, and provide more consistent comfort throughout your space.

Consider a replacement if you notice any of the following:

Your system is old. Most furnaces last between 15 and 20 years. If yours is nearing or past that range, it may be running inefficiently and be more prone to breakdowns.
You're facing frequent repairs. If you’re scheduling service year after year, the costs can add up quickly. Investing in a new unit may be more practical at a certain point.
Your energy bills are climbing. A noticeable increase in heating costs could mean your system is struggling to keep up and using more energy than it should.
Your home isn't comfortable. Uneven temperatures or difficulty maintaining your preferred setting may signal that your system can no longer meet your needs.
The unit makes excessive noise. Rattling, banging, or humming sounds often point to mechanical issues that may not be worth fixing.

Which Heating System Is Right for Me?

Choosing the right heating system for your home is an important decision. The best fit depends on your property's size, budget, and goals for comfort and energy efficiency.

Some popular options include:

Gas furnaces. A powerful and dependable choice, these systems provide strong, consistent heat through air vents to keep your home comfortable.
Heat pumps. This highly efficient and versatile option functions as a heater in the winter and an air conditioner in the summer, offering year-round climate control in one unit.
Boilers. These robust systems act as central water heaters, providing hot water that serves as the engine for radiators or a radiant heating system.
Radiant heating. A distribution system circulates warm water through tubes installed under the floor, delivering a uniquely comfortable, silent, and even warmth from the ground up.

Each system has unique benefits, and weighing the pros and cons for your specific situation can be challenging. We can walk you through the specifics of each option, helping you make a confident choice that will serve your home well for years to come.
