As the seasons change on Cape Cod, spring presents the perfect opportunity to assess your home’s heating and cooling system. If your current system is outdated, inefficient, or requires frequent repairs, it might be time for an upgrade. With various high-efficiency options available, plus rebates and tax return savings, replacing your system now with Falmouth Energy can be a cost-effective investment in comfort and energy savings.
Signs It’s Time to Upgrade Your System
-
Rising Energy Bills:
Older HVAC systems lose efficiency over time, leading to increased fuel and electricity costs. A modern heat pump, high-efficiency furnace or boiler, or ductless A/C can significantly reduce your energy consumption.
-
Frequent Repairs:
If you’re constantly calling for maintenance, replacement may be a better long-term financial decision.
-
Uneven Heating or Cooling:
Struggling with temperature inconsistencies? An upgraded system can improve airflow and comfort.
-
System Age:
Most heating and cooling systems last 10-15 years. If yours is older, it may not be operating at peak efficiency.
Heating & Cooling System Options
High-Efficiency Heat Pumps
Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling, making them a year-round solution. They’re energy-efficient and can be a great fit for New England’s climate.
High-Efficiency Boilers and Furnaces
If you prefer a traditional heating system, newer models offer better fuel efficiency and lower emissions.
Ductless Mini-Split A/C
Ideal for homes without ductwork, these systems offer zoned cooling while using less energy than traditional air conditioners.
Using Your Tax Return & Available Rebates to Save
One of the best ways to reduce upfront costs is by applying your tax return and available rebates. Mass Save offers special financing opportunities for qualifying Cape Cod customers that upgrade to new high-efficiency heating equipment. Falmouth Energy can help you explore your rebate and financing options for HVAC equipment.
The Importance of Fuel Tank Inspections
If your home relies on an oil tank, a visual inspection is essential. Over time, tanks can corrode or develop leaks, posing safety risks and costly cleanups. If your fuel tank shows signs of rust, damage, or leakage, it’s time to replace it before a failure occurs. We can help you with a tank replacement. Get in touch today to request an estimate.
