Surely, it doesn’t really matter how big my furnace is, right?

We completely understand the assumption that the bigger the furnace is, the more output it’ll produce, and the warmer you’ll be.

In case you are not yet convinced, keep reading below. Trust us, you don’t want an oversized or undersized furnace installed in your home, and below, we’ll tell you why.

Despite the saying, bigger is not always better, especially when it comes to the size of your furnace. We understand the assumption that the bigger the furnace is, the more output it will produce, and the warmer you will be. Although somewhat true, the size of your furnace, relative to your unique heating needs, can greatly impact its overall performance.

Winter isn’t going anywhere any time soon, which means that we will continue to use our furnaces quite a bit.

Even towards the end of the season, it is important to schedule your 
Winter isn’t letting up anytime soon. There is still plenty of time to ski, make snowmen, go snowshoeing, and use your furnace. Of course, with so much time left in the season, saving money on energy might be a bit of a concern. Fortunately, there is still time to improve your energy efficiency, simply by modifying the ways in which you heat your home.

If you are on the market for a new heater this winter, consider going ductless! Ductless systems are a great alternative for homeowners who wish to avoid the drawbacks that we so often associate with ductwork: energy loss, low indoor air quality, and space consumption.

When it comes to your heater’s overall performance quality, good enough is just never good enough. You deserve the best heating performance that your home heating system has to offer, and you simply are not getting that level of performance quality if your heater is constantly cycling off and on.
