Your Heating Installation Experts
You may think that winters in Raleigh can be considered mild, overall, since high temperatures often hit the 50s, but you also have to think about the lows. Low temperatures in the average Raleigh winter can flirt with freezing, which makes a heating system essential for your comfort and your wellbeing. You may be tempted to rely on space heaters, but those are not safe to leave on for long periods of time, especially when you sleep or leave the house, as they are known to cause fires.

Signs You Need Heating Replacement
You may be tempted to keep trying to repair your malfunctioning heating system, but, at a certain point, it makes more sense to opt to replace it altogether. Here are some signs you can watch for that indicate you should consider getting a new heating system installed:
Your Heater Is Older than 15 Years
The average heating system lasts about a decade, maybe 15 years at most with good maintenance. If you’re in the 15+ age range and experiencing regular issues with your heater, it could be the end of its lifespan. An upgraded system will come with improved efficiency and reduced stress.
Your Heater Needs Constant or Expensive Repairs
If your heater is breaking so often that you’re needing frequent, costly repairs, you should think about how much you’re spending on repairs versus the cost of new heater installation. Generally, if a repair costs 50% or more of a replacement cost, you should choose to replace from a financial standpoint.
Your Heater is Not Heating Evenly
If you become aware that your heater is not effectively heating your whole home as it should, that could mean that it has become too inefficient to handle your space. We might recommend heater replacement in that instance after we do an inspection.
You Hear Strange Sounds
Any sort of sound other than blowing, which includes banging or clanking, could be a sign that you are experiencing mechanical problems that are difficult or expensive to repair.
Your Energy Bills Are Spiking
When you haven’t changed your energy consumption habits but your heating bills are spiking anyway, that could indicate that your system is aging and losing efficiency. This can cost you a lot of money in monthly utility bills, so you may want to consider upgrading to a more efficient heater.
Your Furnace Flame Isn’t Blue
If you see a yellow or orange flame inside of your furnace, that means that you may be experiencing a carbon monoxide leak that could endanger you or your family. This could be a reason to replace your heater entirely.
Types of Heater Installation
Our team at Blaze Heating, Cooling, Electrical & Plumbing provides multiple options for heating installation in Raleigh, NC. Here is some information about the two main types of heaters we work with:
- Furnaces: This is a very common type of heater installation we perform. It easily heats large homes and uses the same ductwork as your air conditioner, so it doesn’t require as much additional installation.
- Heat Pumps: Heat pumps move the heat energy in the air around from inside your home to outside and the other way around in order to achieve the temperature you want. It comes in ductless and ducted systems, both of which are incredibly energy efficient.
