You may not realize how dangerous winter low temperatures in Northern California can be. When temperatures dip into the 40s, that can put you at risk of hypothermia if you don’t have an adequately heated home. That’s why LJ Kruse performs heating installation in Berkeley, CA and beyond. Having a whole-house heating system is much more convenient and much safer than relying on space heaters in individual rooms. That’s because space heaters are not supposed to be used while you sleep or when you’re away from your home because of fire risk. A furnace, for instance, can be run as much as needed to keep your home at the optimal temperature for your comfort and safety.
If you need a heater installed for the first time or if you’re looking into heating replacement, contact us at LJ Kruse by phone or using our online form on this website. We can answer any of your questions and schedule an appointment for service.
Choosing whether to get a heater installed in your home is a big decision. Luckily, moving forward with this installation can come with a variety of benefits, including:
At LJ Kruse, we offer furnace installation and boiler services, specifically. If you already have a furnace, we can also provide furnace replacement.
While your first thought when your heater malfunctions might be to call in heater repair services, sometimes that just won’t cut it. You may be wondering how to tell when your home is in need of heater replacement. We’ve put together a list of some key signs that indicate you should contact us about replacing your current heating system.
The general lifespan of a heating system is around a decade, but they can last up to 15 years if they are properly maintained. If the age of your current heater is 15 years or older, it’s likely time to think about getting a new one.
Repairing a heating system can be costly. When you’re needing to get your heater repaired frequently or if you are quoted a heater repair that costs more than you were expecting, it may make more financial sense to opt for a heating replacement. You can use the general rule that if a repair is at least half of a replacement cost, it’s more cost-effective to choose to replace.
When the temperature in your home starts to feel uneven from room to room or even in different spaces within the same room, that might mean that your current heating system has lost efficiency. You might want to consider getting an upgrade to a system that can handle your heating needs.
Your energy bills should only spike in correlation with how much energy you are using. If you are not using more energy than usual but are paying more monthly, you should look into whether your heating system has become inefficient and needs to be replaced.
If you have a furnace and the flame is orange or yellow, that might be because of a leak of carbon monoxide, which is incredibly dangerous. Make sure you contact LJ Kruse to look into the issue and decide whether it warrants a replacement.
