Once the chilly winter weather arrives, most people rely on their home heating system in order to stay comfortable. When the temperatures drop down into the freezing range, nothing is better than a warm, toasty home. But, if your heating system is old, inefficient, and frequently does not work properly, staying warm can become a hassle. Not to mention, the decision to purchase a new heating system can seem daunting when it comes to your budget.
Fortunately, there are many options for homeowners who need a new heating system but also need to be conscious of spending. In this article, we’ll talk about the cost of home heating equipment, and how Home Climates can help you afford a new furnace without breaking the bank.

New heating systems can be expensive.
Many people forgo replacing their old heating system until it’s beyond repair because of the price tag associated with the purchase and installation of a new system. What they often don’t realize is that there are often many different financing options and offers available. And, oftentimes HVAC contractors provide a variety of heating system models, so it’s likely they’ll be able to find one that meets your budget and lifestyle needs.
Additionally, once a heating system reaches a certain age, it falls out of warranty and repairs can become expensive, to the point where they are cost-prohibitive. A good rule of thumb to follow is the 50 percent rule: if the cost of the repair will be 50 percent or more of the equipment’s value, it’s best to replace it.
