For Repair, Replacement and Installation of Home Heating Systems: Furnace, Boiler or Hybrid - Call TUDI Today
You won't find more professional or courteous home heating contractors in the Pittsburgh area.
When you select or replace a home heating system, you need to understand how the various systems operate, what size you need, and how energy-efficient the equipment you buy will be. All of these factors will not only influence the comfort of your home-they will also impact the money you'll spend for years to come in energy costs.
TUDI Mechanical Systems contractors are constantly provided with the latest information on heating equipment, which they are happy to discuss with you so you can make an informed decision. Should your system need replacement or repair, your friendly TUDI contractor has the skills and service excellence to get your system up and running quickly and properly.
Gas, electric or oil furnace
You need a furnace that heats your home efficiently and affordably. That's our focus whether we repair the gas, electric or oil furnace you have-or replace it with a new one altogether. We feature and recommend ENERGY STAR® furnaces, which can ensure that up to 95% of the fuel you buy actually converts to heating your home. Don't wait for winter. Any time of year is a good time to make sure your furnace is working at peak efficiency.
Gas, oil or hot water boiler
If you heat your home with a boiler, we can help you there, too. We'll go through the pros and cons of each boiler type, help you decide what's best for you, and cover installation and repairs of any boiler type as well. As with furnaces, we're likely to urge you to get an ENERGY STAR® boiler, because you help yourself save money and the environment when you opt for a more energy-efficient system.
Hybrid heating systems
By combining a gas furnace with an electric heat pump, you save fuel over traditional heating and cooling systems. An electric heat pump can work as an air conditioner in the summer, and a heat generator in the winter. But because it doesn't burn fuel to generate heat, the electric pump is a more efficient heating method. Your TUDI contractor can more fully explain the pros and cons of hybrid heat, and do all necessary work to make your home's heating and cooling system work efficiently and economically for you.
Are a lot of people installing hybrid systems?
Yes. Using a hybrid heat/cool system instead of a gas or oil furnace when temperatures are moderate can reduce your heating costs by 25%. One out of every ten U.S. homes today has both a heat pump and a furnace.
And if your cooling system is more than 15 years old, you'll also gain efficiency and save on utility bills by installing a hybrid system. It may cost 10% more to install a hybrid system than a central air system, but you'll soon make up the difference by saving on both heating and cooling in the future.
Can you use a hybrid heating and cooling system if you use a boiler?
Yes, as long as you have a separate central air system. Older homes with boilers often have cooling systems connected to small, flexible duct systems.
Not all contractors are qualified to install hybrid systems.
The installation is more complex than installing a conventional system. TUDI Mechanical contractors have been specially trained to install and service these hybrid units.
