Why High-Efficiency Heating Equipment Is Really Worth It in NY

Warmer weather is in full swing here in New York, which means your heating system may not be the first thing on your mind—but it should be! Upgrading to high-efficiency heating equipment comes with a wide variety of benefits, and now is the perfect time to trade out your old heating system for a new, energy-efficient, and powerful furnace or boiler. Let’s look closer at why upgrading to high-efficiency heating equipment is worth it in NY, and the top signs that you need a heating system replacement.

Top Reasons to Upgrade to a High-Efficiency Heating System

Upgrading to a high-efficiency heating system is a smart idea for several reasons, including:

• Decreased annual fuel costs of up to 30%¹
• Increased energy efficiency—especially when you use Bioheat® fuel
• Improved peace of mind
• Reduced risks of a breakdown

And don’t forget, there are rebates and federal tax incentives available for homeowners who upgrade to high-efficiency heating equipment here in New York! That means you can save even more on a home improvement that is already going to reduce your energy costs.

4 Signs Your Heating System Needs Replacement

If you’re worried you might need a new heating system to get you through the upcoming winter, or if you’re simply wondering if now is the time to upgrade to high efficiency, check out this list to see if your heating system would benefit from a replacement:

• Sign #1: Increased fuel usage: As your heating system ages, its efficiency will start to decline. Consistently increased fuel usage (without extreme weather or household size increase) is a clear symptom of decreased fuel economy that could benefit from an upgrade.
• Sign #2: Foreign sounds or odors: If you start to hear abnormal humming, banging, or clunking coming from your heating system, it could be time for a replacement. Uncommon odors can be another red flag.
• Sign #3: Uneven heating from room to room: Although we can predict that heat will rise, and, therefore, your upper floors may be warmer, if heat is not reaching all areas of your home equally, that can indicate the decline of your equipment’s operation capabilities.
• Sign #4: Repairs needed more frequently: Naturally, your heating equipment will suffer from more breakdowns as years go by. Instead of spending money on recurring repair visits, you will get more bang for your buck by investing in a new high-efficiency system.
