Find Comfort With a New Heating system

One of the best ways to keep a two-story home consistently warm is by installing an energy-efficient system that fits the specific needs of your home. Boilers, furnaces, and heat pumps are the most popular heating options, as they can provide consistent warmth throughout both levels of your home. Also, proper insulation and air leak sealing will help maintain a comfortable temperature throughout the house.

If your furnace is over 15 years old, making strange noises, or constantly needing repairs, it may be time for a replacement. Other signs include inconsistent heating, high energy bills, and visible rust or cracks in the furnace. Our team at HomeWorks can assess your current furnace and recommend the best solution for your specific needs.

The savings vary depending on the type of heating system you currently have and the improvements made. However, through the Mass Save Program, homeowners can receive up to $16,000 in rebates on new energy-efficient heat-pump heating systems.These efficient systems, including ductless min splits and whole-home heat pumps, cool in the summer, heat in the winter, and can reduce homeowners’ monthly energy bills.

The best time to replace your heating system is when it no longer functions effectively or efficiently. If you notice that your energy bills are rising or that your home is not being heated evenly, it may be time to consider a replacement. It is also recommended that you upgrade your heating system if it is over 15 years old, as newer systems are more energy-efficient and can save you money in the long run.

The type of heating system that is best for your home will depend on several factors, such as the size of your home, climate, and budget. Some popular options include furnaces, boilers, heat pumps, and ductless mini-split systems. Our team at HomeWorks can help you evaluate your needs and determine the best heating system for your specific situation.

Boilers, furnaces, and heat pumps are popular home heating systems in Massachusetts. Each system operates differently and has advantages.

• Boilers use water or steam to distribute heat throughout the home. They are typically fueled by natural gas, oil, or propane and can provide consistent and even heat distribution.
• Furnaces use forced air to heat your home and are powered by electricity, natural gas, or oil. They are popular for many homeowners due to their affordability and effectiveness.
• A heat pump uses electricity to transfer heat from one location to another, think of it like a two-way air conditioner. In the winter, it pulls heat from the outside air (even when it’s cold!) and brings it inside to warm your home. In the summer, it works in reverse, taking the heat from inside your house and pushing it outside to keep things cool.Think of it like a refrigerator, which moves heat from inside the box to the room outside, keeping your food cold. A heat pump just does this on a bigger scale for your whole house—and it can switch directions depending on the season.

The cost of installing a new heating system will vary depending on the type of system, the size of your home, and any additional features or upgrades you may choose. With HomeWorks, our Mass Save partnership can help you save up to $16,000 on the cost of a new heat-pump heating system through rebates and incentives. We also offer no-cost energy assessments to help determine your home’s most cost-effective and efficient heating system.
