Common Questions
Most Popular Questions
What size heating system do i need?
The system size depends on many factors including the building’s size, insulation, and usage. We perform detailed load calculations to recommend the correct size system.
Can I upgrade my current system to be more energy-efficient?
Yes, while system replacement is often the best way to increase efficiency we can assess your current system and recommend high-efficiency upgrades to lower energy bills and improve performance.
What is the difference between a furnace and a boiler?
A boiler heats water to produce hot water or steam. The heated water or steam is then circulated through pipes to radiators, baseboards, or radiant floor systems to provide warmth. A furnace heats air and then uses a blower fan to distribute the warmed air through a duct system to various rooms.
What is the lifespan of a heating system?
Most furnaces and boilers last 15–20 years with proper maintenance, while heat pumps typically last 10–15 years. Schedule a consultation with us so we can help you extend the life of your system.
How do I choose between gas, oil, and electric heating?
Your choice depends on fuel availability, cost, efficiency, and environmental considerations. Gas is typically the most cost-effective if available. Electric has the highest efficiency and may qualify for higher rebates.
What is AFUE, and why does it matter?
AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) measures how efficiently a heating system converts fuel into heat. Higher AFUE ratings mean better efficiency.
What are the benefits of radiant floor heating?
Radiant heating provides even warmth and is energy-efficient. It’s ideal for new builds or major renovations
Are geothermal heating systems worth the investment?
Geothermal systems offer significant long-term energy savings but have a high upfront cost. They’re best for facilities planning to stay long-term and install other energy efficient products.
