Geothermal heating and cooling is done through a type of heat pump. But where the conventional heat pump uses the outside air as its medium for heat exchange (an air-source heat pump), a geothermal system uses the heat in the ground as its medium (a ground-source heat pump).
The biggest concern with any heater that uses hydronic power (i.e. heated water) is that the pipes may start to leak. This is rare, thankfully, but still a risk.
If the water heater fails on you during winter, the impact will be worse than a failure during the summer. So we encourage you to watch for the following indications that you have a water heater that’s facing an uphill climb due to wear and/or malfunctions.
The easy assumption to make is that a furnace is simply the ideal choice for home heating. Is there any truth to this?
If you are reading this, you’re probably giving serious consideration to putting in a new heating system for your house, or else you’re planning a new home and are thinking about the different options for a heater. Ductless heating systems, also known as ductless mini split heat pumps, are a choice for home comfort that is getting more popular each year, and for some very good reasons.
You might think that this means it’s too late for you to have fall maintenance done for your home’s heating system. But it’s not!
You need to be cautious when it comes to a commercial boiler, because it’s easy to get complacent about one. Boilers have a reputation for their low maintenance needs—but it’s simple to confuse “low maintenance” with “never needs maintenance” or maybe “only needs maintenance every couple of years.”
Winter is the time of the year when your house is the most airtight, and that makes it more susceptible to air quality trouble. Numerous particles, chemicals, and compounds originate inside your home that will build up in concentration with no easy way to escape.
Being trapped without hot water is unpleasant any day of the year—but it’s especially miserable during chilly winter weather. We’ve provided some questions to ask about your old water heater that will help you decide on when to replace it.
