Upgrade For The Biggest
Savings People who own old, outdated heating
systems often have the same complaints. They say that they're too messy, too
expensive to run, and break down too often. The fact is
that if a system 15 years old or older, it may be time to upgrade. How a new system can make you happy
Today's Heating Systems are smaller, better insulated, and
cleaner burning. You see greater durability, longer life, and dramatic
increases in efficiency. These add up to more heat for your home and
less wasted fuel. Why sooner is better than later
If you wait until your system gives out for good, it might
cost you more, and not just in dollars and cents. You'll have to deal
with inconvenience and possibly a cold home. If your system breaks down
during a cold snap, you might have to pay thousands to repair frozen
pipes and other related damage. And in getting your heat on immediately,
we may not have the opportunity to show you as many options.
To find out if upgrading your heating system is a good
investment for you, just give us a call. We'll make it easy for you to
upgrade and save money. The chart below will give
you the percent of savings you can expect by installing a higher efficiency
furnace. Simply find the efficiency percentage of your existing
furnace on the left and of your new furnace on the top. For example:
if your old furnace is 55% efficient and your new furnace is 90%, then you
can expect your fuel bill to drop by 38%!
