It is a tricky time of the year for homeowners who are looking to protect their comfort at home. There will be a sprinkling of chilly days and nights tossed into the mix and then temperatures will jump right back up to the mid/high 80s Fahrenheit.
Seeing those temperatures in the forecast may lead home owners to believe that it’s too early to really start thinking about the home heating system. However, this really couldn’t be further from the truth.

The time for home heating in Fort Collins, Colorado, is just around the corner. And that can sneak up on home owners in a bad way, if the heater is not ready to jump right back into action.

Age of heating systems
Age is a very important factor to consider, when it comes to the heating system. Now, an older system doesn’t necessarily need to be replaced before winter hits. Nor does a newer system mean that home owners definitely don’t need to replace it, before the heating season arrives. But age will definitely play a factor in the decision-making process, regarding what’s best suited for home heating needs.
If, for example, home owners have a problem that can be resolved with repairs, but the repair is pretty pricey, then they should be checking if the system is still worth repairing. If it’s getting older, frequently has issues that come up, and/or is no longer covered under warranty, then a replacement probably looks pretty good. If the system is still new enough for the repair to be covered and is otherwise, in good working order, then replacement probably won’t be the way to go.
Replacing heaters with more suitable ones
Dissatisfaction with the heater based on how it heats the home is a valid reason for replacement
For some, the idea of replacing a working heater with a new, different model is just crazy. Different heaters work in different ways and if there was any one heater that suited every single home owner, there wouldn’t be so many different types of heaters out there in the market. So, dissatisfaction with the heater based on how it heats the home is a valid reason for replacement.
For home owners drawn to the efficiency of a heat pump, but have a furnace in place or those who have got a heat pump, but it’s the ductless mini split system that’s really got their attention, whatever the case, Fort Collins Heating, and Air Conditioning team is happy to discuss options available to home owners, in order to ensure that they have a good and reliable heater, as per the personal user preferences.
Efficiency of heaters
If it’s costing a lot for home owners to heat their home, then it’s highly likely that the heater is not working fine. Investing in efficiency from the start is a worthwhile pursuit.
But home owners also need to be diligent in scheduling routine heating maintenance and service, if they want to maintain that efficiency for the long run. And, if the system just cannot deliver the efficiency that they’re looking for, then it may be time to start looking for a replacement.
