Why an Appropriately-Sized Heater Can Save You Money

It never hurts to save money. As a local company, Reliable Heating & Cooling understands the importance of having a warm home in the winter without breaking the bank. One way to save a significant amount of money over time is to have an appropriately-sized heater that is capable of handling your needs. We are here to help!


Energy Efficiency

One of the most significant factors in the amount of money you will save with an appropriately-sized heater is added energy efficiency. Your monthly energy bill will increase substantially in the long run if your heating system is too large or too small to accommodate your home’s size appropriately. For example, if your furnace is oversized for your home’s requirements, it wastes energy and drives your bills up. An undersized heater won’t be able to reach and maintain your thermostat’s set point effectively. Neither situation is ideal for the lifespan of your HVAC system, because the added strain will cause parts to wear out faster than they usually would and lead to the need for a total replacement much sooner.


Quality Comfort

When it comes to Staten Island heating, you deserve quality comfort you can count on when you need it the most. Winters in New York are notoriously frigid, but your home should be an oasis from the outdoor elements. Reliable Heating & Cooling can help you upgrade to a new, eco-friendly system in no time, saving you a significant amount of money on repairs and spiking energy bills.


Replacing your obsolete system brings a wide range of benefits, including:

  • Increased comfort
  • More consistent temperatures
  • Improved indoor air quality 
  • Declining utility bills


Our highly trained and experienced technicians will work with you to determine the correct size of heating system to fit your home’s needs best. Saving money while staying toasty has never been easier! Simply contact our friendly team, and we will handle the rest so you don’t have to, making the process as stress-free as possible for you!


Key Factors to Consider

What is the climate like in the region you live in? Colder environments require heating systems that can handle heavier usage. Our professional HVAC team will help you determine the perfect heater size for your home, considering the length and width of each room of your house. If you have tall ceilings, we will help you select a model capable of producing enough British Thermal Units, or “BTUs,” to heat the additional air volume.


Is your home well-insulated? If so, you will enjoy less expensive energy bills. The better insulated a house is, the less your HVAC system will have to work to keep it warm and comfortable all winter. Finally, examine your window efficiency. Windows that are higher in efficiency are better at preventing heat loss. Drafty areas of your home are a drain on your wallet. By simply sealing windows, doors, and other spots prone to leaking warm air, your bills will decrease while your comfort increases.
