Your Old Furnace is a Money Pit

The older your furnace is, the more it costs to run and hit the same in-home temperature that you’re used to. Wear and tear takes its toll, and just because your furnace still kicks on doesn’t mean it’s doing as good of a job as it should. As much as 40% or more of its energy could be wasted, costing you money. Upgrading now can help you avoid unnecessary expenses—check out how an older furnace can cost you more and why a new system is a smart investment.

If your furnace is 9 years or older, it’s time to start thinking seriously about replacing it with a high-efficiency model of today. This is your opportunity to save up to $1,500 on a new furnace upgrade and save money on every utility bill afterwards. If you’re unsure whether now is the right time, take a look at when it’s time to replace your furnace to help guide your decision.

What About a Free Air Conditioner on Top of it?

During Barron’s Pay Back Program, you could win free air conditioning! Two lucky customers will win air conditioning, including the customer with the oldest furnace. No purchase necessary. Contest runs 1/16/2023 – 2/28/2023. See Official Rules details. If you’re considering replacing both your heating and cooling system, now might be the perfect time—learn more about how replacing your full system can save you money and improve your home’s efficiency.

Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Boiler

January 16th, 2023

Boilers are designed to be as reliable as possible. They’re powerful heating systems that are also some of the most long-lasting systems on the market. Seriously, a boiler can last 20+ years of running efficiently without major hiccups, and we see this all the time in homes throughout the area.

However, boilers aren’t designed to last forever and sometimes they’ll give off strange noises, foul odors, and other issues that can be a premonition of a replacement to come.

Your boiler gives off warning signals when it’s nearing the end of its lifecycle, though not all those signals are loud and apparent. Sometimes it’s a subtle difference that you need to pay attention to before you can know for sure. To know if you truly need boiler replacement in Bellingham, WA, consider these signs.

Your storage tank water heater has served you well, but it’s finally time for a replacement. Switching to a tankless water heater might be the right move for you.

If you’re unsure whether your current system is nearing the end of its lifespan, check out how old is too old for a water heater to determine if it’s time for an upgrade.

Let’s help you find out.

Barron’s Guide to Sump Pump Inspections

October 3rd, 2022

Oftentimes, homeowners aren’t aware that their sump pump systems actually require pretty routine inspections. Our Home Performance Experts are here to help with this service, and include it as part of the plumbing plan of our Silver Shield Membership, which you can read more about below.

It’s also important, however, that you check your sump pump on a seasonal basis as well, plus every time the sump pump gets used. This basic homeowner check should include:

Visually checking your sump pump for any signs of cracks or leaks.
Dumping water in the pit to ensure it activates properly.
Cleaning any debris out or around the sump pump system.

Read on as we uncover why sump pump inspections are so important, and what common problems you may be able to avoid with routine sump pump maintenance.
