Dallas Heater Replacement

Top Benefits of Professional Dallas Heater Replacement:

Not sure if you need Dallas heater replacement service? There are some big advantages to having your outdated furnace or current heater replaced with a new, energy efficient unit.

Save Money on Energy Costs

Are you happy to be paying more than necessary every month on your heating bills? Nobody likes that thought, but it is exactly what happens when your furnace, heat pump, or boiler is not able to operate at maximum efficiency. Even if your old heater is still keeping your house warm, it requires a lot more fuel to do so than modern, high-efficiency models.

Your heating and cooling costs from the operation of your HVAC system are probably the biggest expense by far on your energy bills, so reducing the amount of energy required by your heater can make a significant difference in how much you have to pay every month.

The actual heating capacity of your unit is rated by annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE), which measures the ratio of your heater's annual output versus its total annual fossil fuel consumption. In other words, it is how much heat energy your system produces every year in exchange for the amount of fuel it consumes.

An older heater may be sitting at around 50% to 70% AFUE, meaning it converts about 50-70% of the fuel it uses into heat while the rest escapes. On the other hand, a new, high-efficiency unit could reach an AFUE rating of nearly 100 percent. Because it uses far less fuel, it can provide a lot of savings over time.

More Comfortable Home

Saving money is good, but it is also very important to be comfortable in your own home. As a system ages and suffers normal wear and tear — which can be increased by lack of regular maintenance — it deteriorates and starts to struggle. If it never really gets warm enough in your house no matter how high you turn the thermostat, or one room is freezing cold while the other feels like the Sahara Desert, your needs are not being met and you are not enjoying your home as much as you could be with a perfectly functioning heater that offers full temperature control.

Less Environmental Impact

Dallas heater replacement makes your home more environmentally friendly by reducing your system's consumption of fossil fuels, which lessens the strain on finite natural resources. It can also improve your indoor air quality, because the new system will be better at filtering out dust and other irritating allergens.

Your Dallas Heater Replacement Options:

When you need Dallas heater replacement service, it makes sense to consider the various options that are available to you. The right choice for your home will depend on factors such as your existing HVAC system, whether you have ductwork installed, how many square feet of space there are in your house, and the climate zone we live in. Not sure what to go with? Our service professionals can assess your home and needs and make a recommendation that will fit with your property and lifestyle.

Furnace

The most common types of furnaces fall into a few main categories based on the type of fuel they use to convert into heat energy:

• Electric furnace
• Natural gas furnace
• Oil furnace

Natural gas is by far the most popular choice in Dallas. The upfront costs of installing a natural gas furnace are generally lower than they would be for an electric furnace, and they can be less expensive to operate as well, depending on gas prices. Gas models heat up your home the fastest, and they are very reliable. On the other hand, they do emit carbon monoxide and must be diligently maintained to avoid the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Electric models are quieter and usually longer lasting than gas, and don't require as much maintenance.

Heat Pump

Despite the name, heat pumps are actually capable of both heating and cooling your home. They work by transferring hot air. When it is hot outside and you need AC, the heat pump moves hot air from inside to outdoors, and when winter rolls around and you need warmth, it moves warm air from outside to inside.

While they were commonly only used in mild climates that don't require a lot of heating power, recent improvements have made them more suitable for northern climates as well. Heat pumps are quiet, energy efficient, and generally cost less to operate. They can use central ductwork, but if you don't have ductwork installed, they can also run on a mini-split system. If you are looking to replace a packaged system as part of your heater replacement, Dallas heat pumps may be the best option.

Boiler

Boilers use hot water or steam instead of warm air to warm your house with radiant heat. Because they don't blow air around, they operate silently, don't compromise air quality, are extremely reliable, and are very low maintenance. However, they do have some downsides as well. The upfront cost to install a boiler system is expensive when compared to other heaters, and they cannot be combined with an air conditioning system.

How Often Should You Get Dallas Heater Replacement?

The average life expectancy of a furnace or heat pump in Dallas is around 15 to 20 years, while a boiler will last about 10 to 15 years. However, the longevity of any heater can be impacted by factors such as how often it is used and how much maintenance it receives over the years, especially for parts such as the blower motor. Your system can also suffer from unexpected issues or external damage that will cut its life short before its time and call for immediate Dallas heater replacement.

Are Gas Furnaces Dangerous?

Both gas and oil furnaces are effective and reliable. However, it is important that they be regularly maintained because a degraded system can leak carbon monoxide into your home. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas that can make you very ill, or even be fatal if it is inhaled in large quantities.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), gas and oil furnaces should be inspected by a professional every year, and homeowners should install battery-operated or battery-backup carbon monoxide detectors near all sleeping areas in the house.

How Much Does It Cost to Replace a Heater and AC Unit?

It is completely understandable that you want to know right now what the cost will be for an air conditioner and heater replacement, but there are too many variable factors to give an accurate estimate without first looking at your house and learning more about your particular needs. Once our service professionals have had a chance to assess your property and speak with you about what needs to be done, they can give you an honest, upfront cost for replacement.

Can You Replace Just the Outside Unit of a Heat Pump?

It may seem to make a lot of sense to replace just the part that is malfunctioning, but HVAC experts generally recommend that both the outdoor and indoor components be replaced at the same time. Older indoor units are not compatible with new outdoor compressors, and a mismatch between the two halves can cause serious issues in your home. Replacing just part of the system may also void the manufacturer's warranty.

Should Ductwork Be Replaced After 20 Years?

Probably, yes. Ductwork can last around 20 to 25 years in Dallas if it has been regularly cleaned and maintained, but it begins to degrade after about 15 years and can cause your heater to operate less efficiently, which costs you more on your utility bill. It can also compromise your indoor air quality by releasing particles of dust and other allergens that have built up inside the ducts over the years. Our service professionals can help with ductwork replacement, and we also offer maintenance and Dallas duct cleaning services.
