New heating options are available to customers who are considering replacing their old heaters.  Older furnaces and boilers may not be as energy efficient as the new models.  If you are thinking about replacing your unit in 2014, now is the time to consider what your new heating options are.

Deciding What Type Heat You Need

Every home is different.  Our installation team can help you decide which system is best for your home.  It doesn’t matter if you have a traditional forced air gas furnace, a heat pump or a broiler that is 50 years old, we can help you design the best solution for your home and the existing duct work you might have.  Our aim is to provide you with the best system that offers the best energy efficiency to keep you comfortable no matter what the temperature is outside.

Dual Heating Systems

Heat pumps are a very energy efficient way to heat and cool a house.  They transfer the hot air out of a house in the summer and bring the hot air into the house in the winter.  Until recently, they were only used for air conditioning except in the warmer climates.  Today’s more efficient heat pumps work when the temperature is above 35 degrees.  As we all know, in the tri-state there are many colder days and days where the temperature is below freezing.  This is when a dual system will switch to the gas furnace and keep your house warm on colder days.  Having the option to heat the house both ways is an energy efficient way to heat and cool your house.

Rebates and Tax Credits

There may be rebates and tax credits if you purchase a new heating system.  Rebates are available through Lennox, Mitsubishi and York.  You may also get a rebate through GC Home Services or your utility company.  Possible tax credits are available through your state or federal government.  Because these rebates are always changing and new rebates may become available, it is best to call GC Home Services at the time of your purchase to see what is available.

Maintenance for Your New Heating Options

When you consider new heating options for your home, you should also consider an HVAC maintenance program.  You wouldn’t buy a car and not expect to put new tires on it or replace the oil or oil filters.  Your HVAC system is the same.  Periodic maintenance, lubrication and new filters will keep your system running smoothly for years to come.  Factory Trained technicians can help prevent maintenance issues and if ever you do need repair they can troubleshoot your system quickly and efficiently so that you always have your HVAC system keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter.  Call GC Home Services Heating and Air Conditioning and let us help you choose from the new heating options available to you.
