Many factors go into choosing the type of heat that you have in a home or business including the ability of a heating system to keep the occupants of the facility comfortable while operating with as little fuel use as possible. Getting the most from any residential heating or commercial heating system depends on the following factors:

Appropriate Heating System Selection
Professional installation
Timely Repairs
Regular Maintenance
Condition of the Facility

Types of Heating Systems

There are pros and cons for every type of heating system but there are also those that will perform better for your needs. Types of heating systems include:

HVAC Units
Furnaces
Heat Pumps

All three of these heating systems require ductwork through which the warmed air
is delivered and they also require regular maintenance to enhance performance.
An HVAC unit combines heating, cooling and ventilation in a single system for comfort year around. A furnace, which can operate using natural gas, electricity or oil, supplies only heat. A heat pump works in combination with the furnace to pump the air the furnace warms throughout the home or other facility. When temperatures become warm, they work in reverse and pull warm air out of the building.
People often make the mistake of choosing a heating system according to the brand, price, or ready availability without really looking at the features and how they work.

Commercial heating solutions should be chosen in the same way, although often on a larger scale.  One of the most important factors in picking out a heating system is getting one that is the right size for your home. A unit that is too small for your home will have to work much harder to heat the air. The philosophy that “bigger is better” is also a mistake when choosing a heating system. A system that is too large will use too much energy to operate and will make it more difficult to maintain the temperature at one that is comfortable.

Hire the Right Company for Installation

A heating and cooling contractor with experience installing all types of heating systems will have the knowledge needed to install your heating system properly. Different manufacturers and model types can present obstacles to contractors who are not familiar with them. A professional installation will determine the precision with which the heating unit operates throughout its use.

Always Keep Up the Maintenance

This not only includes changing filters regularly, but also cleaning ductwork to keep dust from settling on working parts. It is always a good idea to purchase a maintenance plan with a professional heating company for regular furnace cleaning, or cleaning of your HVAC. This takes the worry out of keeping the heating system in optimum working order and ensures that the correct steps will be taken to prevent breakdowns.

Recognizing the Need for Repairs

The life expectancy of your heating system will depend on the type it is and the care that you provide. Although you may have a low-maintenance system, it will still require some degree of regular maintenance to enhance performance and prevent parts from becoming broken. Once the heating system begins to age, you may find that the need for repairs occurs more frequently, even with regular maintenance.

To prevent minor repairs from becoming more significant and expensive, pay attention to changes in how your heating system operates. Be aware of odd noises or odors and whether the system stops heating the house as effectively as it did previously. If the system begins to need repairs more frequently and it is more than ten years old, the investment in having HVAC or furnace repairs may no longer be the most efficient option. It may be time to have a new heating system installed.
