Installation & Repair

Going forward with a new heating installation brings numerous benefits that can transform your indoor environment. Modern heating systems are designed to be highly energy-efficient, using advanced technology to provide consistent warmth while potentially reducing your energy consumption and costs. 

By upgrading to a new system, you can enjoy enhanced comfort, improved air quality, and the peace of mind that comes with reliable operation. What’s more, newer models often come with smart thermostat compatibility, allowing you to control your home's temperature remotely and optimize energy use even further.

Recognizing the signs that your heating system needs repair is crucial for maintaining a comfortable and safe home. Common indicators include unusual noises such as banging or grinding, inconsistent heating, where certain areas of your home are warmer than others, and unexpectedly high energy bills. Other warning signals might include frequent cycling on and off, a yellow instead of blue pilot light (for gas furnaces), or an inability to maintain your desired temperature. 

If you notice any of these issues, contact one of our professionals ASAP so we can diagnose and address the problem before it leads to more significant damage or a complete system breakdown.

Boilers

Boilers are a key component of many heating systems, especially in areas like ours where winters are particularly frigid. Boilers work by heating water, which is then circulated through pipes to radiators or baseboard heaters throughout your home. The heated water releases warmth as it passes through these units, effectively distributing heat evenly across different rooms.

The benefits of using a boiler include energy efficiency, durability, and the ability to provide consistent heat. Boilers can also contribute to better indoor air quality since they do not blow air—and any dust or allergens along with it—throughout your home. 

Common signs that a boiler needs repair include strange noises like banging or whistling, irregular heating, frequent shutdowns, and water leaks around the unit. To keep your boiler in good condition, it's helpful to have it inspected by our team. From a DIY perspective, you can check the pressure levels regularly, bleed radiators to remove trapped air, and make sure the area around the boiler is clean and free of obstructions. By following these maintenance tips, you can extend the lifespan of your boiler and maintain a warm and comfortable home.

Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are versatile and efficient heating systems that work by transferring heat rather than generating it directly. During the colder months, the pump extracts heat from the outside air or ground and moves it indoors to warm your home. In warmer months, the process can be reversed to function as an air conditioner, pulling heat from inside your home and releasing it outside. 

This dual functionality makes heat pumps a year-round option. The system typically includes an indoor unit, an outdoor unit, and a refrigerant line that facilitates the heat transfer process.

There are numerous benefits to using a heat pump. They are highly energy-efficient, often providing more heating and cooling output per unit of energy consumed compared to traditional HVAC systems. This efficiency often translates to lower utility bills and reduced environmental impact. Furthermore, heat pumps offer consistent temperature control and improved indoor air quality since they filter the air as they operate. 

Signs that a heat pump may need repair include unusual noises, reduced heating or cooling capacity, frequent cycling on and off, and increased energy bills. To keep your heat pump in good working order, clean or replace filters every 1-3 months, clear debris from around the outdoor unit, and check refrigerant levels. Regular maintenance will help prolong the lifespan of your heat pump. We offer a routine inspection program to help property owners be proactive in caring for their heat pumps.
