Expert Heating Installation in Gulf Breeze
In general, heat pumps have a usable lifespan of 10 to 15 years, while ductless mini-split systems can last 15 to 20 years. Furnaces that run on natural gas, propane, or heating oil last about 15 to 20 years. Those that run solely on electricity can last between 20 and 30 years.
When your unit approaches the later years of its life, it’s time to consider a replacement. Far too often, homeowners wait until their heating system completely fails to think about replacing it. This could leave you without heating during the worst of the winter season. Instead, we suggest scheduling a furnace replacement in the fall. This will ensure your new heating system is ready for the upcoming winter.
Here are some key benefits of upgrading.
- Fresh warranty coverage
- Minimal breakdown risk
- Reliable comfort
- Optimal safety
- Lower utility bills
When choosing a new heating system for your home, there are many options out there. You’ll want to take various factors into consideration while making your ultimate purchasing decision. One of the most important is the type of heating system you want to buy. Those who have ductwork in their home typically opt for a furnace or standard heat pump. Those that don’t have ducting typically go with a ductless mini-split system. Mini-splits are also ideal for home add-ons.
The size of your home plays a big role in determining the appropriate heating capacity for your new heating system. It’s important to have one of our technicians evaluate your home to determine the appropriate heating output. We consider the size of your home but also the number of doors and windows, your insulation, and much more.
