Heating System FAQs

How Much Does it Cost to Service an Existing Heating System?

Although the cost of heating system servicing varies, it’s generally much less expensive than dealing with a major breakdown or replacement. On average, you can expect to pay between $80 to $200 (or possibly more) for a routine maintenance visit.

How Much Does it Cost to Get a Heating System Installed?

The cost of a new heating system installation varies, depending on several factors, including the type of system and size of your home. Pricing, including labor and parts, can range anywhere from $2,500 to $20,000 (or possibly more).

However, it’s important to understand that this is an investment in your home’s comfort and efficiency. While it might be tempting to opt for the cheapest option, remember that your heating system is crucial to your home’s comfort and can significantly impact your energy bills. Investing in a quality system installed by professionals can pay dividends in the long run through improved efficiency, reliability, and comfort.

How Often Should a Heating System Be Serviced?

Your heating system should be serviced at least once a year. Ideally, you should have your heating system serviced in the fall before the cold weather hits. This is to make sure your system is ready to keep you warm all winter long.

How Many Years Should a Heating System Last?

A heating system should last you ten to thirty years, depending on the type of system. Newer systems are often much more energy-efficient, which can lead to significant savings on your energy bills.

Who Can Install a Heating System?

An HVAC professional should always install your heating system – this isn’t a DIY project! While it might be tempting to try to save money by installing a system yourself, the risks far outweigh any potential savings. Always trust a licensed, experienced heating contractor (which falls under the HVAC umbrella) for your heating system installation.
