Get the Right Type of Heating System Installed at the Right Price

When it comes to heating installation, there are several factors you need to consider.  One factor is the size of your home; the larger the home means the bigger the heating system. Another factor is the type of heating you're looking to install; older homes generally have radiators which are noisy and take a long time to crank up, whereas newer homes have more sophisticated, less noisy heating systems which you can control with the help of a thermostat.

What Type of Heating System Do You Need?

Once you know exactly what you're looking for in terms of heating, be sure to discuss this with your heating contractor and get their input. They'll be able to tell you if the type of heating installation you want to have done is practical or not. The will also be able to suggest alternatives, in case they feel like your ideas are not feasible. Our team of trained professionals here at New England Cooling Towers, Inc. knows all the latest trends when it comes to heating systems and can tell you what your options are.

How Much Is Your Heating System Going to Cost?

Your heating contractor will be able to give you an estimate of how much it's going to cost to get a heating system installed. A good heating contractor will thoroughly check your home in terms of size, number of rooms, vents, drafts etc. Then, only after doing this, will they give you an estimate of how much it's going to cost to install a heating system.

If a heating contractor gives you an estimate based on what you tell them over the phone or after just looking at one or two rooms, you should definitely get another one; just to be sure that they know what they are talking about.

How Good Is Your Heating Contractor?

Once you've decided exactly what you need and gotten an estimate that works for you, be sure to check the credentials of the company you're going with, the reviews they've received and the number of years they've been in business. This way, you can be sure that you've found someone efficient and reliable.

When to Hire a Furnace Repair Technician

A furnace in your home is a very valuable appliance as it will help to keep your home safe and warm when it is cold outside.  While a furnace is built to last a long time, having access to a qualified furnace repair technician would be very beneficial.  There are several different situations in which you should contact a furnace repair technician.

Routine Maintenance

One situation in which you should hire a technician for furnace repair is when you are in need of routine maintenance.  While a furnace can last for a long period of time, those that are looking to extend its useful life for as long as possible should hire a technician to come once per year before the winter season starts.  The technician will be able to ensure the furnace is working well, is safe, and is operating efficiently.

Increased Heating Bills

Another situation in which you should call a professional for furnace repair is if your heating bills are going up.  While heating bills will fluctuate from one month to the next based on the temperature and other factors, if your bills are much higher than the prior year it could be an indication that your furnace is not working properly.  A technician will be able to diagnose the issue with your furnace and make any necessary repairs to ensure it works efficiently again.

Odd Smells or Noises

The third situation in which you should call a technician is if you notice odd smells or noises.  If your furnace seems to be omitting a smell of gas or a burning sensation, it could be an indication of a more serious problem.  In these cases, you will need to contact your technician immediately.  It would also be ideal to turn off your furnace until the issue is resolved.
