In the winter, especially in frigid climates, heat is something you can not do without. There is no doubt that heating your home can be expensive. Oil prices have risen, as well as the prices for natural gas and propane. For many areas of the country, heating with electric is the most inexpensive way to heat right now. If you are considering the installation of Central Heating Plymouth, keep in mind that the new units available now are much more energy efficient than units were just a decade ago. In fact, if you have an older unit, even if it’s working well, you probably will save money over the long term, by replacing it with a newer, more efficient heating unit.
When deciding if it is plausible to replace your unit for Central Heating Plymouth with a newer unit, most will be surprised to learn that an older furnace is only approximately 50 – 70% efficient in converting energy used to heat. The newer energy efficient units being used today actually convert up to 99% of their energy used into heat. This cuts down a great deal on heating costs over the winter. This is especially noticed in colder climates, as heating is used more frequently.
To be the most energy efficient as possible, when you consider replacing the unit, it’s important to make certain you are getting the right size unit installed in your home. Have the contractor calculate the proper size for your space. A unit too large will start up and shut down frequently causing wear and tear on the unit and wasting energy. A unit too small will run constantly trying to heat the home without success, using much energy in its attempt to heat the home.
Replacing your central heating unit can save you money over the course of time along with immediate savings you’ll see in your electric bill the very same month the unit is installed. Take the time to make sure you get the right unit for your home and you’ll have the satisfaction in knowing you are heating your home the most energy efficient way possible.
