Heater Replacement Timberwood Park, TX
Boerne Air Conditioning Experts is trusted local resource for heater replacement in Timberwood Park, TX and the nearby communities. When the chill of winter is in full swing, you want your heater to act fast in order to heat your home successfully. Obviously, that means that you don’t want to be dealing with a heater that is too small to do the job effectively. However, you also don’t want your heater to be bigger than it needs to be. This can cause just as many problems as a heater that is too small, in fact. If you think knowing the square footage of your home is all that you need to get the right sized heater, think again. There is much more to consider when sizing your heater. Fortunately for you, our technicians are here to guarantee that your heater is of the right size for your home.
First, if you think bigger is better, you’d be wrong. This misconception is one that many homeowners share, and it is one that results in serious heating issues for many homeowners. Here are a few of the ways in which an oversized heater will fail you. First of all, you’ll be wasting money as early as the time of purchase. If your heater is too big for your home, you’ve already paid for more heating capacity than you’ll ever really need. Keep that money in your pocket by buying an appropriately sized system. Secondly, an oversized heater is probably going to short-cycle. This means that it will actually bring the temperature of your home up too quickly. That may not sound like a problem, but it will cause the heater to switch on and off more frequently than it should. This puts a lot of wear and tear on the system, and drives up energy costs. An undersized system will also drive up heating costs and suffer excessive wear and tear. It will run longer than it should as it struggles to heat your home, and that will burn through energy even as you live in less comfort than you deserve. |

In addition to the size of your heater, another factor to think about is age. After about 15 years, a heater can no longer work efficiently or effectively, and it may even be unsafe. Nobody wants to replace an older heating system if it’s not quite time. If there are still a few good years left in your heating system, it may not be time to throw it out, even if efficiency has suffered slightly. However, here are some signs that heating replacement is the right choice. One major signal is costly repairs. When repairs are more than a few hundred dollars, it’s not often worth it, particularly if the system is old. We often recommend a new system when the repair or replacement part will be about half the cost of a new heater altogether.
If you want a new HVAC system, you should spend some time looking into your options. This means researching variable-speed and multi-stage systems, which are able to run at only partial capacity to cut down on energy and fuel usage. Any heater with an AFUE (annual fuel utilization efficiency) of over 90 is going to save more than your older system, and the higher, the better. We know the initial investment may be higher, but it’s worth it with the savings you get in the long run. If you have any questions at all about your current heater, or you’d like to find about more about heater replacement options, contact us at Boerne Air Conditioning Experts.
