Is your furnace over fifteen years old? It is succumbing to frequent problems, putting out less heat and making more noise? Have you noticed a gradual rise in monthly utility bills even while comfort diminishes? In these situations, keeping an older furnace often costs more than the investment into a whole new heating system. The expense of repairs quickly adds up. Plus, older heaters tend to have a bigger impact on the environment, expose your family to dust and other contaminants and lack modern safety features. Maybe it’s time to take a look at the options and features available on the current market. Today’s furnaces offer intelligent, communicating technology that automatically answers the changing and current requirements of the indoor environment. Where outdated systems are limited to either on/off operation or low and high speed, leading innovations can now operate anywhere between forty and one hundred capacity. There is rarely a need for the furnace to blast at full speed. The furnace runs at lower speeds, drawing a lot less energy and eliminating unpleasant temperature fluctuation. These systems also offer perks such as multi-stage filtration to capture air contaminants such as dust, dander and pollen. The heating system can be linked to a smart thermostat, enabling adjustment through an app on a smartphone, tablet or laptop from virtually anywhere. Combining a smart thermostat with an adaptable speed furnace maximizes energy saving potential, convenience and comfort. With such amazing advancement in engineering and technology, it is the perfect time to consider the installation of a new heating system.
