Although our winters in Pomaria, SC are mild, you still need a reliable heating system when temperatures drop. If your current heating system hasn\u2019t been keeping you warm enough, it\u2019s time to think about a new heating system. Whether you replace what you have with the same type of system, or upgrade to something new, let\u2019s go over your options for a new heater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter what type of system you choose, be sure to hire a reputable heating contractor<\/a> for its installation. You don\u2019t want to compromise the integrity of your brand-new HVAC system with a shoddy installation job. For guidance on selecting the right heating system, check out new heater options<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Furnaces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Furnaces are still the most common type of heating system in homes across the US today. Let\u2019s face it\u2014they\u2019re fairly inexpensive to purchase upfront and given how little you use your heating system, you don\u2019t have to worry too much about a lack of efficiency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main drawback of furnaces is that they only supply heat. If your AC is due for replacement as well, you should strongly consider a heat pump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heat Pumps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Heat pumps are gaining popularity, not just in climates like ours, but around the world. And for good reason. They\u2019re 2-in-1 systems, which means they provide both heating and cooling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A heat pump is essentially an air conditioning system that can reverse the flow of refrigerant and provide heating. That means unlike in areas with freezing winter temperatures where homeowners have to worry about whether a heat pump can keep up with the cold, you don\u2019t have to worry about its ability to keep your house cool. Heat pumps can handle the heat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mini Splits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mini splits are heat pumps that don\u2019t need ductwork. Although these systems can be more expensive than furnaces, the saying \u201cyou get what you pay for\u201d certainly applies. Homeowners who have made the switch to mini splits have recognized the many benefits of these systems. If you\u2019re curious about ductless systems, read more about the ductless mini-split: small name, big results<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only will you be saving money on utilities with all-electric heat pump technology, but mini splits provide amazing single-room or single-zone heating and cooling. Instead of a forced-air system that requires you to heat and cool the entire home, you can turn on a single mini split at a time. When you can choose which rooms to heat and cool, you\u2019ll greatly reduce your utility usage\u2014and utility costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Radiant Heating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Radiant heating systems are still installed today and are a great option for people who love the cozy heat they provide. These systems work by transferring thermal energy between solid objects. The most common type of radiant heating system is\u00a0a boiler, but some systems are entirely electric. If you\u2019re weighing the benefits of different systems, consider 3 things to consider before purchasing a new furnace<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Radiant heating systems have greater energy efficiency than forced-air systems like a furnaces. Boiler systems are particularly effective and efficient because water tends to absorb more heat and hold onto it longer than air can. If your home has an outdated radiant heating system and you can\u2019t imagine having any other type of heating system, contact us today to discuss your options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
