Getting Your Home Fall-Ready!
As we soak up the last bit of summer many of us avoid thinking about fall and winter prep, but as the crisp autumn air sets in, it’s time to turn our attention to getting our homes ready for the cooler months ahead. At Cooper’s, we’re dedicated to ensuring your home stays cozy and efficient throughout fall and winter. Here are some key steps to take to get your home ready for the season, with the services we offer to keep you warm and comfortable.
Schedule Your Inspection and Maintenance
Regular maintenance is essential to keep your system functioning at its best, to run most efficiently, and to prolong your system’s operating life.
Inspections and maintenance also minimize the risk of unexpected breakdowns during peak heating times. During an inspection, our skilled technicians check key parts of the system to identify potential issues and service essential components to improve efficiency and to help prevent breakdowns, providing you with peace of mind knowing that your home will stay warm when you need it most.
Cooper’s offers maintenance check-ups for hot water baseboard radiation, hot water in-floor heating, and forced air heating systems that are equipped with electric furnaces/boilers or oil-fired furnaces/boilers.
Electric Furnaces / Boilers
Electric furnaces (boilers) have several advantages over traditional heating systems. Being an on-demand system, the electric furnace/boiler operates only when there is a call for heat from the thermostat. They operate quietly, ensuring a more peaceful environment. Furthermore, electric furnaces are known for their reliability and consistent heating capabilities.
When considering installation, our team will work with you to assess your home’s heating needs and recommend the most suitable electric furnace model. We’ll handle the installation process with precision, ensuring that your new system is set up for optimal performance. By investing in a modern electric furnace, you’ll enjoy enhanced comfort and peace of mind knowing your home is well-equipped for the colder months.
Converting from Oil-to-Electric
If your current oil-fired system is hot water radiation or hot water in-floor heating, an electric boiler system can be used to replace your oil-fired unit. If you currently have a hot air oil-fired system, the unit can be replaced with an electric furnace. Often the words “electric furnace” or “oil furnace” are used to refer to both types of heating systems – hot water and hot air. Especially here in Newfoundland. Cooper’s understands what you mean as we have incorporated the same lingo ourselves over the years when referring to furnaces!!
If your current oil-fired heating system is dated or perhaps your oil storage tank needs replacing, upgrading to a new electric furnace/boiler can be a game-changer for your home’s comfort and heating system’s efficiency.
Electric furnaces are engineered to be more energy-efficient compared to their oil counterparts, providing consistent warmth to your home while reducing your carbon footprint. Electric furnaces tend to require less maintenance than oil furnaces due to not having the same combustion components as oil systems.
Our team at Cooper’s can guide you through the entire conversion process. We’ll assess your current system, recommend the best electric furnace options for your home, and handle the installation seamlessly. The transition to electric heating can enhance your home’s comfort and efficiency, offering long-term benefits.
