It’s Time to Replace Your Oil Heater

Monday, December 13th, 2021

There have been a lot of changes to our energy and heating grid in the past twenty years. Now, when you tell homeowners that their heating system runs on oil, they might reasonably get upset about the implications of this kind of fuel source. Oil prices fluctuate drastically, and since here in the United States we import a lot of our oil, it can depend on international events and markets.

Basically, oil heating systems can be a hassle and there are a few great reasons why homeowners are starting to switch from oil-fueled boilers. Especially when looking for a new boiler system, a gas boiler installation in Avon, OH is reliable when done by a professional. We regularly work with homeowners to switch from their oil heating systems to natural gas systems.

What to Do, and What NOT to Do, to Your Boiler

Monday, February 8th, 2021

Boilers are durable if anything. They’re some of the most long-lasting and durable systems on the market if that’s what you’re looking for. We recommend them for homeowners that are tired of forced-air heating and want a powerful system that will last them with minor repairs and maintenance over a couple of decades.

That being said, there’s a catch. Boilers are durable as long as you treat them well. Some boilers run into early replacements and extremely expensive repairs needs only after one or two years due to neglect. Sure, we offer boiler service in Westlake, OH for everything that you might need, but wouldn’t it be nice if we helped prevent the need for boiler service?

Today, we’re going to talk about the do’s and don’ts of boiler malfunctions. We’ll cover everything from what you should do to your boiler, to what you should never—under any circumstances—do to your boiler.

Monday, January 11th, 2021

Cooling and heating with duct work in basement

One of the hardest parts about being a heater owner is that you need to decide when you’re ready to have the system replaced or repaired. There’s no class in high school or accurate guides available these days that can tell you exactly the information you’re looking for, which is why we’re looking to change that.

We’re going to use a nifty point system to determine whether your heater should be repaired or replaced. If you score low enough on the point scale, then your heater is probably fine for a targeted repair and routine maintenance every year. If it scores high enough, then you might make a more cost-effective decision by investing in heater replacement in Westlake, OH.

Ultimately, the choice is yours. But who says we can’t be along with you every step of the way to ensure you make the best choice?
