How comfortable is your home these days in Catskill or another town in the Hudson Valley, the Capital Region or Western Vermont? It’s crucial to have a heating and cooling system that can stand up to the often extreme weather conditions in this region.
At Main-Care Energy, we’ve been helping homeowners select and install the ideal HVAC equipment for decades. Reach out to our team to discuss your many heating and cooling options.
While heating and cooling equipment can operate for a long time, especially with regular maintenance, these systems won’t last forever. After about 15 years, your boiler or furnace is likely to need replacement. Central air conditioning equipment lasts between 10 and 15 years. Some scenarios when you should consider new HVAC equipment include the following:
Here’s a breakdown of some of the HVAC systems that Main-Care Energy installs — and how we can help you enjoy the best home comfort all year round.
The high-efficiency oil- and gas-fired heating systems we install remain a gold standard for wintertime comfort in unforgiving Northeast winters. You can enjoy robust, reliable heat regardless of how cold it is outside. Propane furnaces, for example, can consistently heat air to 120°F.
And today’s boilers and furnaces boast extraordinary fuel efficiency ratings, as high as 98.5%!
Pairing your forced-air heating with an energy-efficient central A/C system is a winning combo. Using the same ductwork as your furnace, these tried-and-true cooling systems can be controlled from a central thermostat. Main-Care Energy is proud to carry the industry’s best central A/C products with high SEER ratings. We’ll size one to the precise square footage and layout of your home.
With improving heat pump technology, all-electric heating and cooling systems are becoming more viable in our part of the country. These state-of-the-art products transfer heat between the inside and outside of your home to regulate temperatures. Heat pump systems don’t even require ductwork!
Talk to a Main-Care Energy technician about whether a heat pump or ductless mini-split is a good option for you.
Interested in investing in cutting-edge heat pump technology while having the backup security of oil or gas on the coldest nights? Consider a hybrid system.
Hybrid heat systems offer both versatility and powerful heating performance. An electric heat pump efficiently cools and warms your rooms, but these systems also feature a backup auxiliary furnace powered by heating oil, propane or natural gas. When outdoor temperatures fall below a specific threshold, the system seamlessly transitions from the heat pump to the furnace, ensuring consistent and reliable heating even in extreme conditions.
When you come to Main-Care Energy for your HVAC needs, you can enjoy the ease and luxury of today’s most advanced home automation technology. We call it Main-Care Connect.
