Five Tips for Choosing the Right Heating System 

You have virtually endless options for a new heater, which can make it difficult to pinpoint which one will fit your budget, keep you comfortable, and last as long as you need.  

To help make your decision easier, we have offered five tips for choosing the right heating system below:

Evaluate Your Heating Needs

Your building ought to have a heater that is adequately sized. When we refer to “size,” we are talking about BTUs (British Thermal Units). These measure how much energy is required to raise a pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. Most residential heaters have BTU capacities between 40,000 and 120,000, while commercial systems will have much higher BTU capacities. 

In the Outer Banks, where temperatures are generally warmer throughout the year, you may not need a heater with an exceptionally high BTU capacity. However, you could want a more powerful system if you have a large home or business with multiple rooms to heat. All of this may sound potentially confusing, but do not worry. Our team can perform an accurate load calculation to determine the best size heater for your space.

Consider Your Budget

Heaters come in all shapes, sizes, and price points. While it may be tempting to go for the cheapest option, keep in mind that investing in a higher-quality system now can save you money on repairs and energy bills in the long run. We offer competitive pricing on top-of-the-line heating products and can work with you to find an affordable financing solution.

Examine Local Fuel Costs 

Each fuel type has its own cost per BTU. Currently, electricity is more expensive than natural gas or propane. However, a high-efficiency, electric-powered unit, such as a ducted or ductless heat pump, may be cheaper to operate over time. 

Think About Energy Efficiency

New heating systems come with an annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) rating of at least 80%. This is the measurement of how efficiently the unit converts fuel into heat. The higher the AFUE rating, the more efficient the system. Additionally, you may want to consider technologies with ENERGY STAR certification, which means they meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Do Not Be Afraid to Ask for Professional Help

Ultimately, choosing the right heating system for your space can be difficult, especially if you are doing it for the first time. That is why we recommend consulting our experienced technicians, who can assess your needs and direct you toward a budget-friendly heater that works perfectly for you.
