Time to Replace Your Heating System? What to Look For!
admin April 18, 2022
As the heating season begins again, you might be wondering if it’s a good time to replace your heating system. It’s not a decision to take lightly, and we’re happy to help you determine whether or not it is the right move to make now, well before winter arrives. Here are a few signs that your heating system might be due for an upgrade: You’ve had it for more than 15 years: When your furnace nears the end of its operational life, it’s becoming less efficient and more costly to maintain. Higher energy bills: Are your energy bills suddenly higher than usual despite you using the same amount of energy? This could point to an issue with your furnace. Costly repairs: If repairs are expensive, it might make more sense to upgrade. While a replacement furnace might cost more at the outset, the long term savings of a more efficient system may be worth it. Uneven temperatures: If you’re dealing with hot and cold spots throughout your house, that’s a telltale sign your furnace isn’t efficiently delivering hot air. Exterior damage: If there are signs of obvious disintegration on the outside of your furnace, it’s important to get it taken care of before it becomes a serious hazard. Noisy: Rattling, humming, popping or screeching noises are not just annoying, they’re also signs of potential failure or issue in need of repair. Keep an eye (and ear) open for these indications that your heating system might be in need of an upgrade, and if you experience any of these problems give us a call to discuss your options!...

Getting the most from your heating system means keeping up with the necessary maintenance! Not to worry, you’ve got the experts at Harris Comfort to make sure your heating equipment isn’t a risk to your health or your budget. Take care of your heating equipment to avoid… Diminished Comfort Coverage The most obvious way an uncared for heating system will impact your health is the lack of warmth in the winter. While those who can take cold can manage, elderly residents, children and even pets can suffer without proper comfort control. Dirty, Dusty Air Air-forced systems such as furnaces are equipped with filters to help with air quality within the home, but without proper maintenance and cleaning those filters can become blocked and end up distributing the collected debris back into the home instead. Potentially High Carbon Monoxide Levels Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can be produced by the incomplete combustion of fuel – so if your heating oil equipment is producing black smoke or soot or if you smell a propane leak be sure to call Harris Comfort immediately as this is a sign your equipment is not properly functioning. Thankfully, this situation can be avoided with regular maintenance. Those are the potential risks, but what’s the solution? It’s easy – regular tune-ups from Harris Comfort! We service all the equipment that we sell and install, so ensure your heating system is in good hands by contacting us online today....
