Bioheat® fuel is becoming one of the preferred renewable energy choices for home heating in cold climates of the United States. Bioheat® fuel burns cleaner, allowing your heating system to run more efficiently, last longer, and reduce your fuel consumption and your energy bills.
While heating with Bioheat® fuel can help you save money on the cost of your fuel, the efficiency of your heating system can play an enormous role in how much you save. An older, inefficient heating system can impact your budget, comfort, and health. If your heating system is on its last legs, it’s time to consider upgrading to a new, high-efficiency system. High-efficiency heating systems have proven their value in operation, safety, and cost savings over the years, but how do you know when it’s time to upgrade?
If you hear out-of-the-ordinary humming, banging, or clunking coming from your heating system it could be time for a replacement. Abnormal odors can be another red flag.

Excess amounts of dust or drastic changes in air humidity can be a result of an ineffective heating system.
Have you had to pay for recurring repairs and continual breakdowns? If so, it’s time to get a new heating system.
While your system may not completely die right away if it’s showing these signs, there are a few major downsides to running exhausted equipment in need of replacement. Here are the top reasons why you should avoid using equipment showing the above symptoms when possible:
