Types of Furnaces We Install
Whether you're looking to replace your heating system with a more energy-efficient model or repair your current furnace, Pro-Tech Heating & Cooling is here to help with cost-effective solutions! Our fully insured team specializes in the professional installation, repair, and maintenance of all types of heating systems. Common types of furnaces we handle include:
- Natural gas furnaces: Natural gas furnaces are a highly economical option to restore reliable heating to your home or business. Compared to older gas furnaces, these systems offer higher energy efficiency, making them a popular choice for residential and commercial property owners alike.
- Oil furnaces: This type of furnace can be a great option for property owners who lack access to natural gas, especially in remote areas that don't require constant furnace use. Oil furnaces are popular for their impressive lifespans, lasting up to 25 years on average.
- Electric furnaces: These furnaces are known for their simplicity and easy installation. They often require a lower investment upfront, making electric furnaces a budget-friendly investment for many property owners.
- Propane furnaces: While propane furnaces are less efficient than natural gas furnaces, they typically cost less, making them an ideal option for property owners seeking a lower upfront investment. Propane is easily stored in tanks, making propane furnaces a worthwhile investment in areas where gas and oil aren't readily available.
Not sure which type of furnace is best for your needs? No problem! Our experienced experts can help you find the best fit for your unique space, preferences, and budget.
7 Signs Your Furnace Needs Professional Attention
As a property owner, recognizing the warning signs of furnace problems is important to maintain a safe, comfortable, energy-efficient living environment. Ignoring red flags that your furnace needs professional attention can lead to expensive repairs, decreased furnace efficiency, and dangerous hazards, such as gas leaks. Staying vigilant and proactive can help property owners ensure reliable heating when they need it most.
Early detection is key to keeping your furnace operating at peak efficiency while extending its lifespan. Here are some telltale signs it’s time to reach out to our technicians for furnace repair or replacement:
- Unusual noises: Rattling, banging, or whining noises from your furnace can indicate mechanical issues, airflow obstructions, or a failing internal component.
- Increased heating bills: A sudden spike in your heating bills can be a sign of decreased furnace efficiency. This can occur for various reasons, from duct leaks to a need for maintenance or repair.
- Frequent cycling: If your furnace turns on and off more frequently than usual, it may be a sign of a malfunctioning thermostat, improper airflow, or an incorrectly sized furnace for your space.
- Yellow pilot light: For gas furnaces, a pilot light that burns yellow instead of blue can indicate the presence of carbon monoxide, a dangerous and potentially lethal gas. This requires immediate professional attention.
- Poor air quality: Increased dust, debris, or other changes in air quality inside your property could be caused by a dirty or clogged furnace filter, affecting your furnace’s efficiency and the indoor air quality in your home or commercial space.
- Difficulty starting the furnace: If you find it challenging to start your furnace or keep it running, there may be issues with the thermostat, power, gas supply, or ignition system.
- Cold spots in your home or business: Inadequate heating or cold spots in certain areas of your property can be a sign of furnace problems, such as blower issues or an imbalanced distribution system.
If you notice any of these warning signs, contacting a licensed expert is a must to keep your furnace running as it should. At Pro-Tech Heating & Cooling, our friendly professionals can carefully inspect your furnace and recommend cost-effective solutions to restore reliable heat to your residential or commercial space!
Do I Need Professional Furnace Maintenance?
With professional furnace maintenance, your heating system should last up to twenty years. However, many property owners don’t give their furnace the maintenance it needs, drastically shortening its lifespan. Even minor problems in your heating system can lead to major health and safety hazards.
Investing in proper furnace maintenance is crucial to maximize efficiency, avoid breakdowns, and prolong the life of your furnace. Regular check-ups can help property owners identify and resolve issues early, saving you time and money on costly repairs while ensuring your home or business stays safe and warm during the winter months.
