Choosing The Right Home Heating System

• Type of Heating System: Furnaces are a popular choice for their warm air distribution through ducts. They can run on electricity, natural gas or fuel oil. Heat Pumps offer an energy-efficient alternative to furnaces and can provide both heating and cooling.
• Heating Efficiency: Consider the Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating, which measures how well a furnace converts energy into heating. The higher the AFUE rating, the more efficient the furnace. For heat pumps, look at the Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF) to gauge efficiency.
• Size and Capacity: Choose a heating system that matches the size of your home. An oversized or undersized furnace can lead to inefficiencies and increased wear and tear.
• Compatibility with Existing Systems: If you’re replacing an old furnace, consider the compatibility of the new system with your existing ductwork and thermostat. Upgrading to a more modern system might also require updates.
• Cost and Longevity: Evaluate the initial installation costs against the long-term savings through reduced energy bills. Consider the expected lifespan of the system and warranties.

Choosing the right home heating system is a decision that affects your comfort and long-term energy costs. At Ricky Heath, our experts are here to guide you through every step. We help you select the best system to meet your needs and enhance your home’s environment.

Is It Time To Replace Your Heating System?

Knowing the right time to replace your heating system can save you money and avoid unexpected breakdowns. When it's time for a replacement, our skilled professionals provide a smooth, hassle-free installation. Our goal is not only to replace your existing system but to enhance your home’s heating efficiency.

When To Consider Heating Replacement

• Age of the System: The average lifespan of a furnace is between 15 to 20 years. If your furnace is nearing or has surpassed this age range, it may be time to consider a replacement.
• Rising Energy Bills: An increase in your energy bills can indicate that your heating system is losing efficiency. If you notice a consistent rise in costs without a corresponding increase in usage, your system may be working harder to provide the same amount of heat.
• Cost of Repairs: If the cost of repairs approaches 50% of the value of a new heating system, replacement may be a more economical choice.
• Inconsistent Heating: If some rooms are too hot while others remain cold, your system may no longer be able to effectively distribute air throughout your home.
• Unusual Noises or Smells: Loud, strange noises or unusual smells from your furnace can indicate serious problems. Rattling, banging, popping, or musty or burning smells should be inspected.
• Carbon Monoxide Presence: Signs of carbon monoxide include a yellow burner flame instead of blue or soot around the furnace. Carbon monoxide can pose a serious safety risk.
• Increasing Humidity Problems: Older heating systems can struggle to regulate humidity levels, leading to dry air in winter. Excessively dry air can affect your health and the durability of wood furniture and flooring in your home.

When considering a replacement, consult with professionals who can provide a detailed assessment of your current system. At Ricky Heath, we’re committed to offering you expert advice and solutions that best meet your heating needs.
