The average furnace life expectancy is about 13 years. However, if you properly maintain your furnace with annual maintenance from New Berlin Heating, your system can last up to 20 years. As a bonus, scheduling annual maintenance will increase efficiency and result in fewer repairs, making it a service you can’t afford to pass up.

It depends of the age of your furnace. If it’s less than 10 years old and the repair cost is less than half the price of a new system, we recommend a repair. However, if your furnace is older than that, breaks down often, or requires a costly repair, new furnace installation is a better option.

Choosing the right furnace for your home is easy when you have a professional, expert recommendation from New Berlin Heating. We help you during every step of the installation process. Count on our team to measure your home to find the right size system, then help you pick the best one to fit your budget and comfort needs.

Definitely! This service ensures maximum operational efficiency through our comprehensive tune-up and cleaning process. You’ll be more comfortable, enjoy savings on your energy bills, and reduce the chance of unexpected breakdowns and repairs.

Yes, but it’s not recommended. To switch, your home needs retrofitted to accommodate the new type of system, which can be costly and complex. If you already have a furnace, it makes the most sense to stick with that, and vice versa if you already have a boiler.

If your air conditioner is more than 15 years old, isn’t providing you with the cooling your need, or your energy bills are steadily increasing, it’s time to consider air conditioner replacement. In most other situations, a repair likely will do.

We recommend scheduling air conditioner maintenance annually, preferably before summer. It’s a simple service that ensures every working part is clean, tuned, and functioning correctly. It helps you avoid systems breakdowns and save money on your energy bill.

There are a number a few things that could be causing your air conditioner to give warm air—or none at all. Start by checking your thermostat and making sure it’s on and set to “cool.” Next, check your air filter and replace it if necessary. If it’s dirty, it can block cool air from reaching you. If neither of these tips work, give us a call.

Not exactly. Ductless systems are alternatives to central air conditioners (and furnaces). They are individual units placed directly in rooms or certain spaces of your home. These systems act as heat pumps, absorbing heat energy inside that area and sending it outside your home to cool it.

Yes, cooler air does reduce the amount of moisture in your air, which can help you feel more comfortable. But if you need even greater humidity control in summer, consider installing a dehumidifier. These are designed to remove even more moisture from your air, so you don’t have to rely on cranking your A/C.

There can be many sources of indoor air pollution in your home. In fact, there can be so many that, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, your air can be anywhere from two to five times more polluted than the outdoors. The good news is that New Berlin Heating has the indoor air quality solutions you need to rid your air of these pollutants.

Yes! It may not seem like much, but your air filter plays an important role in your comfort. As air flows through it, the filter catches contaminants like dust, dirt, and even certain airborne viruses. But over time, those contaminants can dirty up your filter, blocking airflow and letting other pollutants run free in your home. This makes air filter replacement a must if you want to improve indoor air quality. For best results, change standard air filters once every one to three months. If you have a high-efficiency filter, replace it every six to 12 months.

There are many daily household activities and everyday products that contribute to bad air quality. These include:

• Cooking
• Cleaning products
• Carpet fibers
• Candles
• Pet hair and dander
• Pollen
• Carpets, paint, and cabinetry

Some humidity is necessary for a healthy home. Try to balance humidity levels between 30 and 45 percent in the wintertime and 50 and 60 percent in the summer to maximize your comfort. Air that’s drier than that can cause comfort problems like dry skin and colds—and air that’s too humid can cause mold, allergies, and all-around discomfort.

Yes. If you know what you’re allergic to, New Berlin Heating can help you find the perfect system for your home. For example, our air purifiers help capture and kill contaminants including dust, pollen, and other allergens. But if you have a mold allergy, invest in a dehumidifier. These systems reduce moisture in your air to help eliminate mold growth in the first place.
