Assessing Your Home's Heating Requirements

A thorough understanding of these factors is essential so that the heating system chosen aligns with your specific requirements and delivers optimum performance.

Our professional installer will be able to analyze these factors and recommend the most suitable heating system for your home. They may also suggest improvements to insulation, air sealing, and other energy efficiency measures to enhance your home's overall comfort and energy performance.

Selecting the Right Heating System Type and Size

With numerous heating system types and sizes available in the market, selecting the right one for your home can be a perplexing task. Each system comes with its own set of advantages and drawbacks, making the choice even more daunting. Some popular heating system types include furnaces, boilers, heat pumps, and ductless mini-split systems.

Our professional heating installers can help you navigate this complex landscape and guide you toward the most suitable system and size for your home. We will consider factors like energy efficiency, longevity, and ease of maintenance while making recommendations. This ensures that the installed system will not only meet your heating needs but also operate at maximum efficiency, reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs.

Proper Installation: Following Codes and Guidelines

Once you have decided on the most appropriate heating system for your home, it is crucial to follow proper installation procedures. Following relevant codes and guidelines is essential to ensure that the installation is aligned with industry best practices and approved safety standards. These guidelines typically cover venting and exhaust requirements, electrical connections, clearance levels, and combustion air provisions.

Working with our professional technicians guarantees adherence to these codes and guidelines. They have the expertise and experience necessary to carry out the installation diligently and comprehensively. By trusting them with your heating installation, you can rest assured that your system will be installed correctly, providing safe and dependable heating for your home.

Maximizing Efficiency and Performance: Tips for Homeowners

A well-installed, efficient heating system requires regular care and attention to maintain peak performance. Here are a few tips to help you make the most of your heating system:

  • Schedule Routine Maintenance: To ensure that your heating system remains in top condition, it is essential to invest in regular maintenance. Our professional technicians can inspect, clean, and tune-up your system, identifying and resolving any issues before they escalate into significant problems.
  • Replace Air Filters: Dirty or clogged air filters restrict air flow and force the system to work harder than necessary. Changing your air filters at least every three months can go a long way in maintaining efficient heating and extending the life of your system.
  • Insulate and Seal Your Home: Proper insulation and air sealing play a crucial role in ensuring that the heat generated by your system remains indoors. Invest in energy-efficient windows, doors, and insulation materials to minimize heat loss and maximize the effectiveness of your heating system.
  • Install a Programmable Thermostat: A programmable or smart thermostat allows you to customize your heating schedule based on your needs. By automatically adjusting the temperature during times when you are away or asleep, you can save energy without sacrificing comfort.

Conclusion

In today's world, an efficient and effective heating system is crucial for ensuring comfort in your home. Proper installation that takes into account your home's unique needs, selecting the right type and size of the heating system, and following codes and guidelines are vital components of this process.

In the past 18 months, Adams has installed a new Amana air conditioning system, and new filtration and humidification systems at my home. The installers were all very courteous, professional and knowledgeable. Their work was simply superb... reasonably priced, and performed on time and to perfection!

Called these guys off of a referral from a friend. Home furnace failure in sub-zero temperatures, late at night. Dan was there in an hour. Friendly, polite, professional and most importantly, very competent. Diagnosed and fixed the problem in under an hour. After hours 24/7 pricing was surprisingly reasonable. This outfit gets straight A+ from us.

Excellent service! We had them replace our heater, AC, and water heater as a package deal. They even helped with financing as it was a large expense to address at one time. It left us with peace of mind that all the mechanicals in our home were new!

They have always been there for us and did so again by responding quickly to put in a new furnace after a lighting strike caused a power surge. In addition, their electrician came by to help with other issues caused by the strike. Everyone we work with from the who answers the phone to who shows up to complete the work are polite, pleasant and professional! And quick to respond and on time!

After 28 years I have chosen to look into other companies very disappointed in how I was spoken to over the phone. It’s still under warranty and I was left with no heat on Thursday and labor and a trip charge of $180 is ridiculous, I wasn’t charged for parts. I have it serviced every fall for peace of mind

I had a boiler and water heater replacement/upgrade. I went from an 84% efficient boiler to a 95% efficient. I dont recall the water heater's efficiency. That was upgraded to an indirect water heater. Josh and Brad did a great job. The work looks great. The boiler and water heater work as to be expected. Their customer service is excellent. I will definitely be calling then when my basement remodel is ready to start.

I have had Adam's Heating and Cooling out at my house before, so I called them for some gas line work. The estimator was very helpful and let me know the best way to be ready for when the work is scheduled so they can test the generator after they install the gas line to the meter and also let me know how to take care of another issue I had that would be helpful. I look forward to getting this work done and working with them.
