It’s very important for those of you with primary and second homes to have your heating systems inspected to see if your system will be able to keep up with the winter cold.

With everything that's been going on this year, it's easy to let maintenance slide but it's not too late to get caught up, and you know regular maintenance is important to protect your investment not only in your HVAC system but in your home or rental property as well.

Ambient Comfort, which has been in business since 2011, works on all different types of systems, regardless of whether or not they installed them. In fact, they didn't originally install my system, but I'm glad I made the switch and I trust the experts who work there to get the job done properly.

With their help, we've put together this little handy guide on replacing your heater just in time for the winter season. Read on to learn more:

Old age

Your heater can only last about 10-15 years, so it's time for you to start thinking about replacing it once you hit the 10-year mark. Trying to push your heater past its limit will only lead you to unexpected breakdowns, higher repair costs, and a wide range of other problems.

High energy bills

Annual maintenance is always important as it keeps your system running efficiently, but even that has its limits. Older systems are quite inefficient compared to newer ones, so explore your options and see how much you can be saving by giving Ambient Comfort a call at (856)-213-6586.

Unreliable operation

We're approaching one of the chilliest times of the year and a reliable heater is a requirement to get you through it without freezing. Can you rely on your heater? If you answered anything but an affirmative "yes," it's time you start thinking about getting a new one before the cold gets even colder.

Weird sounds

A quiet heater is a functional one, so if your heater is making a lot of loud, unusual, disturbing sounds, you should probably have the folks over at Ambient Comfort come to your home and take a look at it to see what the problem is. Again, their phone number is (856)-213-6586.

Constant repairs

If you're finding yourself having to repair your heater more than once every couple of years, it's probably time for a new unit, which will save you a ton of money in the long-run as opposed to paying frequent repair and service fees.

Unusual cycling

Heating cycles shouldn't be too short or too long as either one is a sign that your heater is struggling to properly do its job. If you notice anything strange with the duration of your heater's cycles, it's time for an upgrade.

I trust the experts at Ambient Comfort to get the job done properly and I hope you will too when you give them a call today at (856)-213-6586 and begin the process of replacing that old heater of yours. Don't make the mistake of waiting before it's too late!
