Do I Need a New Heating System?

Knowing when to replace your heating system can be tricky. While a complete breakdown is an obvious sign, there are often subtler indicators that it’s time for an upgrade. 

At Brower Mechanical, we recommend considering a new heating system if you notice any of the following:

• Your system is over 15 years old: Heating systems typically last 15–20 years. As they age, they become less efficient and more prone to breakdowns.
• Increasing energy bills: If your heating costs are rising despite consistent usage, your system may be losing efficiency.
• Frequent repairs: Are you constantly calling for repairs? Repeated repairs can be costly and indicate a declining system.
• Uneven heating: Do some rooms feel colder than others? This could point to a problem with your heating system’s distribution or capacity.
• Strange noises: Unusual sounds like banging, clanging, or squealing can indicate mechanical issues.
• Poor indoor air quality: Excessive dust or dryness could be related to a malfunctioning heating system.
• Your home feels uncomfortable: If you’re constantly adjusting the thermostat and still not achieving consistent comfort, it may be time for a new system.

If you’re experiencing any of these issues, contact Brower Mechanical for a free home evaluation. Our technicians can assess your current system and provide recommendations tailored to your needs.

What Type of Heating System is Right for My Home?

Choosing the right heating system for your Sacramento home is a big decision. It affects not just your comfort but also your energy bills for years to come. It can feel overwhelming to sort through all the options, but don’t worry—our team can help!

Let’s explore some of the most popular heating solutions:

• Furnaces: These are the most common heating systems. Furnaces distribute heat throughout your home using a network of ducts and vents. They can be powered by natural gas, propane, or electricity. Furnaces are generally more affordable to install than other options and are effective for heating your entire home. They’re also compatible with central air conditioning systems for year-round climate control. While furnaces might not be the most energy-efficient option and can sometimes lead to uneven heating in certain homes, they remain a popular and reliable choice.
• Heat Pumps: These versatile systems offer both heating and cooling. Heat pumps extract heat from the outside air, even in colder temperatures, and transfer it indoors to warm your home during the winter. In the summer, they reverse the process to cool your home. Heat pumps are highly energy-efficient and offer year-round climate control. However, they typically have a higher upfront cost than furnaces. They also might require a backup heating system in extremely cold climates (which isn’t usually a concern in Sacramento).
• Boilers: Boilers use hot water or steam to heat your home, distributing warmth through radiators or radiant floor systems. They’re known for providing consistent, comfortable heat and can be more energy-efficient than furnaces in some cases. However, boilers tend to be more expensive to install than furnaces and may require more maintenance.
• Ductless Mini-Splits: These are ideal for additions, renovations, or rooms that are difficult to heat with a central system. Ductless mini-splits provide zoned heating and cooling without the need for ductwork. They are highly efficient and allow you to customize the temperature in different areas of your home. However, they generally have a higher upfront cost than traditional systems and might not be the best fit for heating large homes.

How Much Does It Cost to Replace a Heating Unit?

The cost of replacing a heating unit can vary significantly based on several factors. At Brower Mechanical, we believe in transparent pricing and provide detailed estimates.

Here are some key elements that influence the cost:

• Type of heating system: Furnaces, heat pumps, boilers, and ductless mini-splits all have different price points.
• System size and capacity: Larger homes or those with higher heating demands require larger, more powerful systems, which typically cost more.
• Efficiency rating (AFUE): Higher-efficiency systems often have a higher upfront cost but can save you money on energy bills overall.
• Fuel source: The cost of natural gas, propane, and electricity varies, affecting both installation and operating costs.
• Existing ductwork: Any necessary repairs or modifications to ductwork will add to the overall cost.
• Installation complexity: Factors like accessibility, the location of the unit, and any necessary electrical or plumbing work can affect labor costs.
