How to Choose a New Heater for Your Iowa Home

Is it time to upgrade your home’s heater? If so, you are likely wondering where to begin when selecting a new system. 

We have you covered with these five steps:

  1. Figure out what heating capacity you need. To do this, account for your home’s size and insulation quality, the number of windows you have, and how often you anticipate using your heater. Together, these things will help you select a system with the appropriate British Thermal Unit (BTU) capacity.
  2. Consider your energy efficiency goals. Investing in an efficient furnace, heat pump, or boiler could help you save money each month on utilities. When choosing a heater, look at its annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) rating. This will let you know how efficiently a unit converts energy into heat. Higher ratings mean more savings.
  3. Weigh your fuel options. Most heating systems rely on natural gas or electricity, while some use oil and propane. Account for the costs of these fuel types in your area and your existing fuel hookups.
  4. Make budget considerations before finalizing your choice. Figure out how much you want to invest in a new unit, its installation, and the maintenance it will need.
  5. Seek professional advice. Completing the steps we listed can be difficult to do on your own. Our highly experienced team would gladly guide you through them, allowing you to make an informed decision on a new heating system.

FAQs About Heating Systems

How do I know if my heating system needs repair?

Common signs include uneven heating, strange noises, increased energy bills, frequent cycling, or a complete lack of heat. If you notice these issues, contact us for an inspection.

How do I choose the right heating system for my home?

Our experts can assess your home’s size, insulation, and energy needs to recommend the most efficient and cost-effective heating system.

When should I replace my heating system?

Heating systems typically last 15–20 years. If your system is older, requires frequent repairs, or isn’t heating efficiently, it may be time for a replacement.

Why is regular heating maintenance important?

Regular maintenance extends the life of your heating system, improves efficiency, reduces energy costs, and prevents costly breakdowns.

Is it safe to use a space heater as a primary heat source?

Space heaters are best used as supplemental heating. Overreliance on space heaters can be inefficient and pose fire risks.

What should I do if my heating system breaks down during extreme cold?

If your heating system fails, check your thermostat settings and circuit breaker first. If the issue persists, call our emergency heating repair service immediately. Meanwhile, use extra layers, blankets, or a safe alternative heat source to stay warm.
