Heating FAQs

What is the difference between a furnace and a boiler?

Furnaces and boilers are both heating systems, but they operate differently. A furnace heats air, distributing it through ducts to warm the entire house. In contrast, a boiler heats water and uses pipes or radiators to distribute the heat. Boilers are commonly used for radiant heating systems as well. Furnaces are more popular in areas with milder winters, whereas boilers are often preferred in colder climates. Each system has its advantages and disadvantages, including installation costs and energy efficiency, so the choice between them depends on factors like climate and personal preferences.

How long does a furnace last in New Jersey?

The lifespan of a furnace in New Jersey typically ranges from 15 to 30 years, depending on factors like the type of furnace, its maintenance, and usage. High-quality furnaces that receive regular maintenance tend to last longer. In New Jersey, where winters can be harsh, furnaces are subjected to extended use, which can impact their longevity. Replacing a furnace with a more energy-efficient model as it approaches the end of its lifespan can be a wise investment, helping to lower energy bills and reduce environmental impact.

What is the most common heater repair in New Jersey?

In New Jersey, the most common heater repair involves addressing issues with the furnace ignition system. Problems such as faulty igniters, thermocouples, or pilot lights often require attention. Additionally, issues with circulation pumps, heat exchangers, or thermostat malfunctions are common repair needs. Routine maintenance and timely repairs help ensure reliable heating during the colder months, maintaining indoor comfort for New Jersey residents throughout the winter season.

How often should I schedule maintenance for my heating system?

Every home and every situation is different, but the common wisdom is that you should have your furnace or boiler inspected and a tune-up performed at least once a year. Not only does this keep you on top of any issues that might be developing, but many manufacturers require yearly maintenance to keep the warranty on your equipment valid. Signing up for one of our maintenance plans makes this process easy.

Is it more cost-effective to repair or replace my aging heating system?

All furnaces and boilers have a life expectancy, so as yours gets up in years, deciding if you should repair it or replace it can be a tough choice.

As a baseline, we recommend following the 50% rule - if the cost of repairing your unit is more than 50% of the cost of replacing it, it's going to be more cost-effective in the long run to go ahead and replace it.

But before you pale at the thought of that expense, keep in mind that newer furnaces and boilers have advanced features, additional comfort capabilities, and are much more energy efficient - so the investment will likely save you money over time.

What are the most energy-efficient heating options for my home?

Here are a few of the most energy-efficient ways to keep your home warm and toasty:

  • Heat Pumps - Not only do they heat and cool, but they do so while consuming much less energy than a standard furnace.
  • Geothermal Heating - Geothermal systems, which take advantages of the Earth's underground temperatures to control your home's climate, can cost up to 70% less than a regular heating system.
  • Ductless Mini Splits - These units are set up in individual rooms or zones, so if you choose you can only heat the spaces you're actively using. Plus, their lack of ductwork means you won't be subject to energy loss through leaks.
What are the key factors to consider when choosing between electric, gas, or space heaters?

When choosing between electricgas, or space heaters, there are several key factors to consider:

  • Energy efficiency - Gas heaters are often more energy-efficient than electric heaters, but electric heaters may be better suited for small, well-insulated spaces. Space heaters can be convenient but may have higher operating costs.
  • Heating capacity - Gas heaters and whole-home systems can provide more powerful, whole-building heating, while space heaters are better for spot heating individual rooms.
  • Installation requirements - Gas heaters require proper ventilation and gas line connections, while electric and space heaters are generally easier to install.
  • Safety - Gas heaters pose fire and carbon monoxide risks if not properly maintained, while electric and space heaters need to be used carefully to avoid fire hazards.

Considering these tradeoffs will help you select the right heater type for your needs and space.

What Heating Services Do You Offer?

All of them. We know to survive our winters, you've got to have reliable heat, and we wouldn't be taking care of the good people of the Garden State if we weren't prepared to tackle any heating-related job:

Heating System Installation & Replacement

Do you have a new construction, or are you looking to update your aging unit? You've come to the right place. The success of a heating system is entirely dependent on determining the right system for your home's exact layout and size - our experts will work with you to determine the best options, then install your choice with trustworthy professionalism.

Having your boiler or furnace replaced is quite an investment, so we believe it's important for you to understand the process. Our professional technicians will first take a look at your home's size, layout, and ductwork to determine what size and capacity unit you need to keep your home warm without overdoing it so you don't waste energy. Once a new system has been selected, we'll remove your old system and then install your new furnace or boiler backed by our decades of experience and the desire to treat your home as our own. We then test the new heating system to ensure that it's working up to our standards. After we're certain everything is done correctly and working as it should, we clean everything up so your home looks as if we were never there. Our aim is to make your heating system installation and replacement as easy and headache-free as possible.

Heating System Repair & Maintenance

Ever been awakened in the middle of the night by a literal cold chill running up your spine? It can happen if your furnace goes out unexpectedly. When you need repair, you need a contractor that will take the time to examine your system top to bottom so we diagnose the real problem and provide the real solution. That's why you need us. Our furnace repair services aren't just about finding the quick fix. We'll check out your system top to bottom, and make sure that the first problem we find isn't just a red herring hiding something worse behind it. You can be certain that when you've had heating repair from Climate Plus, you'll be able to sleep comfy and "Cozee" in the knowledge you hired the best.

But who wants to deal with downtime? Annual preventative maintenance can be the difference between a system that hums along doing its job all year long and one that has a catastrophic failure right when you need it the most. By signing up for one of our maintenance plans, you can enjoy "set it and forget it" scheduled maintenance that keeps your furnace in optimal shape.

During a heating maintenance visit, our technician will check your furnace or boiler inside and out, looking for any components that are too worn, wiring that is frayed, or any other problems that could get in the way of your comfort. It's not just about tightening a few screws and cleaning things up - it's our goal to catch small issues and get them resolved so you don't have to pay for a major repair later on. At Climate Plus, your continuous comfort is our entire reason for being, so our furnace tune-ups are aimed at making sure your system is ready when you need it.

Heat Pump Services

Heat pumps are a great way to get both heating and cooling all together in one energy efficient unit. Our technicians offer a full array of heat pump installation and heat pump repair services to help you take advantage of this technology. Plus, just as with a typical furnace or boiler, we offer heat pump maintenance to keep your unit running its best for as long as possible. Whatever the issue facing your heat pump, you can rely on the team at Climate Plus to handle it.

Oil To Gas Conversion Services

Is your furnace or boiler still running on oil? While oil certainly is effective as a heating tool, natural gas provides an option that is superior in almost every way - cost, energy efficiency, and environmental impact, just to name a few. Thankfully, you don't have to go through an entire furnace replacement to switch over to using natural gas. Our experts can transition your current oil-burning system to one that uses natural gas with just a few enhancements. Once it's done, you'll enjoy benefits like:

  • Reduced Cost - Natural gas is generally cheaper than oil, with a price that remains more stable on average.
  • Automatic Filling - No more manually refilling your oil tanks. A natural gas line will provide all the fuel you need.
  • Environmentally Friendly - Natural gas burns cleaner than oil, lowering your carbon footprint and reducing the pollution produced by your furnace.
  • Cash Incentives - Our technicians can help you find and determine eligibility for rebates or tax credits for switching over to natural gas.
  • Home Value - As oil-burning furnaces are an outdated technology, switching your home over to natural gas provides an instant boost in value.

There are a lot of HVAC contractors out there, and we know choosing one out of the mix can be challenging. But there are several reasons why the only call you need to make is a call to Climate Plus:

  • Locally-Owned - We aren't the forward-face of some massive corporation looking to squeeze as much money out of you as it can. We're your friends, we're your neighbors, and we're committed to the people of New Jersey.
