In New England, summer seems to take forever to get here. So it makes sense that your heating system is probably the last thing on your mind right now. But if your boiler or furnace is 15 to 20 years old or showing signs of wear, summer is the ideal season to start thinking about a replacement, and here’s why:
1. Your heating system will be ready when you need it the most.
Summer may take its time to show up, but fall and winter have a way of sneaking up on us before we’re ready. Waiting until the first cold snap to install a new system can leave you scrambling for a replacement when you need heat the most. Doing it now means you won’t have to worry about keeping your family warm while you remove your old system and install your new one.
2. You’ll have plenty of time to explore your options.
A new heating system is a significant investment. Exploring your options over the summer gives you ample time to make an informed decision instead of rushing into an emergency replacement.
How do you know what heating system you need?
A professional evaluation can help determine whether it's best to:
Replace your existing boiler or furnace
Upgrade to a high-efficiency heating system
Convert to a different fuel source
Install a ductless or whole-home heat pump
Add an indirect water heater for greater efficiency
With more time to discuss your home's heating needs and compare equipment, you will be able to choose a system that offers the best balance of comfort, efficiency, and long-term value.
3. You’ll have more scheduling flexibility.
Fall and winter are the busiest seasons for HVAC contractors. If your heating system fails when the temperature plummets, you don’t want to have to wait for a replacement.
Scheduling your installation during the summer provides:
More flexible appointment availability
Better planning for your project
Less pressure to make quick decisions
Peace of mind knowing your new system is ready before winter arrives
Consider the Benefits of a Heat Pump
Many of today’s homeowners are choosing heat pumps over oil, gas, or electric boilers and furnaces. Why? Because they deliver consistent heating (and cooling) for far less energy. Heat pumps also use mostly renewable energy (outside air), making them a sustainable way to heat your home. Imagine never receiving another oil bill again! That’s what you get with a heat pump.
Installing a heat pump is also one of the most effective ways you can improve the energy performance in your home, which can increase the value of your property
