  • How often should I service my boiler?

    We suggest having your boiler serviced annually to maintain its efficiency and longevity, and to prevent expensive repairs.

  • What is radiant heating, and how is it different from traditional heating?

    Radiant heating utilizes warm surfaces, such as floors or walls, to radiate heat into the room, offering more comfortable and consistent warmth. Unlike traditional heating systems, it doesn't depend on blowing hot air.

    Yes, radiant heating can be added to existing homes, though the installation process might be more complex depending on your current flooring and structure.

    Radiant heating is very energy-efficient because it directly heats rooms, minimizing energy loss. It also integrates well with renewable energy sources such as solar.

    Regular maintenance involves checking pressure levels, testing safety valves, cleaning filters, and inspecting the system for leaks or damage. We can take care of all these tasks during our annual service visits.

    A well-maintained boiler can have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years. Regular maintenance can help prolong its life.

  • How energy-efficient are split systems?

    Split systems are generally more energy-efficient compared to traditional HVAC systems. They enable zone heating and cooling, allowing you to control temperatures in different parts of your home.

  • How often do split systems need maintenance?

    We advise scheduling annual maintenance for your split system to keep it running efficiently. This involves checking refrigerant levels, cleaning the filters, and inspecting for any potential issues.

  • Can I install a split system in a home without ductwork?

    Absolutely, split systems are an ideal choice for homes lacking ductwork. They eliminate the need for extensive duct installation by using small pipes to link the indoor and outdoor units.
