Let’s Talk Furnaces!

Upgrading your heating and cooling system is the best way to increase both comfort and energy savings. And as we come into chillier weather, your furnace’s performance is going to be tested once again. Here are some points when considering a new system:

Efficiency

Furnace efficiency is measured with “AFUE” or “Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency.” The higher the AFUE percentage, the more efficient the equipment. Furnaces over 90% AFUE are considered “condensing” models and convert the highest percentage of fuel into heating your home.

Sizing

Your home is unique, with requirements that may not fit into a predetermined package. Different sized homes need different sized equipment, but a Barron Tech will also take into account your home’s insulation, number of rooms, windows and more.

Rebates and Financing

Are you feeling limited by pricing? Ask about current promotions and financing options. A manufacturer rebate, for example, could bring the price of your dream high-efficiency furnace down to a point that is within your budget.

Indoor Air Quality

Heating and air conditioning equipment is a key line of defense against poor indoor air quality. Add-ons to your new furnace installation can really step up your healthy-home game, so be sure to ask. Our Air Solutions Team are experts in air purification, duct cleaning and duct sealing, for example, which could be just what you need to reach ultimate home comfort.

Maintenance Agreements

Annual maintenance is an important way to keep your new equipment running smoothly year after year. Barron makes it easy with a Silver Shield maintenance agreement – never forget your preventative maintenance again!

Warranties

Most manufacturers have an “out-of-the-box” warranty and one that goes into effect after a piece of equipment is registered. Ask what is offered with your new unit for your peace of mind for years to come.

We hear you – HVAC shopping is overwhelming! Just remember, the most important thing you can do is choose the right contractor for the job. You can breathe easy with Barron Heating – our knowledgeable team is here to help find the best fit for your comfort and pocket.
