Many homes share similarities in the configurations of their heating systems. However, in a community like Short Hills, NJ, there are plenty of homes that can break the mold.
Short Hills boasts a wide variety of home sizes and period styles that can make heating them especially tricky. Where smaller, older homes might lack sufficient insulation to maintain heat and keep rooms warm in the winter, the sheer scale of larger homes can create heat distribution problems, making for cold winter mornings for some family members in certain parts of the home.
That’s why many homeowners have turned to Stashluk Heating, Plumbing, Air Conditioning and Generators for Short Hills NJ Heating Repair and Installation. With more than 70 years of experience keeping Short Hills-area residents comfortable, the Stashluk team has seen every heating challenge and problem one can imagine.
Keep your heating system in peak operating order.
If you haven’t had your furnace or boiler tended to by a trained technician we’d advise sticking to an annual service visit where any problem areas can be identified before expensive breakdowns can occur. Often these breakdowns will occur soon after your furnace or boiler is started up for the new cold weather season. That’s why it’s best to have your heating system checked before the first cold front arrives. Once the winter season settles in and your furnace or boiler is working around the clock to keep your home warm, breakdowns in the system are certainly more likely to occur because of the increased demand.
Just like any other part of your home’s infrastructure, including kitchen appliances or electronics for that matter, the parts and components in your heating systems can begin to wear and corrode over time, leaving you in a deep freeze until Stashluk arrives to make the repairs.
Lots of homeowners in Essex, Union, Morris and Somerset counties have mitigated their risks of a heating system breakdown by having Stashluk conduct an annual safety Check. By keeping your system in prime operational order you may not only head off serious breakdowns but you also could see lower costs on your energy bill. A fine-tuned heating system runs cleaner and more efficiently.
Stashluk’s safety checks include:
- Inspection of heat exchanger and burners
- Inspection and test of operation of all safety components
- Inspection of all electric connections and components
- Inspection of chimney base and flue piping
- Check all radiators (if applicable)
- Check gauge glass (if applicable)
- Change 1″ air filter.
Heating rooms that are hard to keep warm.
It’s not unusual for some rooms in the home to be difficult to keep warm. Whether the home has a forced air system or the rooms are too far removed from the heating source, or because they may be facing north away from the sun or exposed to winter winds, it seems no matter what you do it isn’t enough to keep these rooms toasty so their inhabitants can be comfortable in winter.
This is where split-ductless heating (and cooling) systems can be the solution. They are highly efficient and make little noise when operating. More importantly, they are much safer than relying on a space heater which should never be left running when no one is present in the room.
A split-ductless unit can be added to new additions, rooms above garages, and any other room where the home’s regular heating system fails to deliver warmth.
A split-ductless system creates an independent temperature zone in each room where it’s installed, distributing heat and air conditioning within that room much more efficiently than a traditional ducted system.
