Tuesday, January 17th, 2017If your old furnace is laboring through its last winter, you may be planning to replace it this spring. Or you may be in the unfortunate position of having to replace a failing furnace immediately, before our freezing cold Boston, MA winter turns your home into a popsicle. Either way, there’s a common pitfall in buying a new furnace that you need to be aware of: a system with too much heating power for your home.
Is a Boiler System Right for My Home?
Monday, January 16th, 2017Many homes in the Wakefield, MA area use forced-air furnaces, which are inexpensive to run and generally effective.

Steps to Take When a New Heater Breaks Down
Monday, January 9th, 2017Heaters break down all the time, especially older ones or ones put under a great deal of strain in the face of our freezing Andover, MA winters. But you don’t expect a brand new heater, or one that is just a year or two old, to encounter a serious problem or suffer a breakdown from a given component. That’s why most reputable brands are covered by a warranty: to protect you, the customer from a lemon or a sudden mechanical failure. If your heating system suffers an unexpected breakdown and you purchased it within a year or two, there are some specific steps you can take to determine what happened. It could end up saving you a great deal of money.
Why Is Too Much Heat Bad for Your Furnace?
Monday, January 2nd, 2017It’s hard to think of excessive heat being a bad thing, especially here in Reading, MA with winter in full force. But overheating is a common issue with gas furnaces, and can be caused by a number of different issues.
Thankfully, most modern furnaces will automatically turn the system off before excess heat causes too much damage, which alerts you to the problem as well as sparing you from higher repair bills. But that still leaves you with a furnace that struggles to function, and with temperatures as cold as they are, that could leave your home and family in serious trouble. The faster you address the problem, the better.
