Heating Installation vs. Replacement
Installation typically refers to adding a heating system to a new home, addition, or previously unheated space. This requires ductwork design (if applicable), electrical upgrades, and careful system sizing to ensure balanced heating throughout.
Replacement means removing an existing unit and upgrading it with something more efficient or reliable. We assess your current setup to determine whether it’s cost-effective to repair or smarter to replace.
We help homeowners in both situations understand their options—and get the job done right.
When Is It Time to Replace Your Heating System?
Most heating systems last 12 to 15 years—sometimes longer with proper maintenance. But age isn’t the only factor. Here are signs it may be time for a replacement:
- Frequent breakdowns and rising repair costs
- Uneven heating or cold spots in the home
- Strange noises, odors, or short cycling
- A spike in energy bills
- System is oversized or undersized for your home
- You’re planning to switch fuel types (e.g. oil to electric)
If your system no longer keeps your home comfortable, needs regular repairs, or is costing more to run than it’s worth, a properly installed replacement can offer big savings over time.
Types of Systems We Install
Every home has unique needs, and the right heating system depends on your comfort goals, home layout, and energy preferences. Here’s how each system functions:
- Gas Furnaces: These systems burn natural gas to create heat inside a heat exchanger. A blower then circulates the warmed air through your ductwork. Known for their fast response times and reliable comfort in colder climates.
- Electric Furnaces: Instead of burning fuel, electric furnaces use resistance heating elements (similar to a toaster) to warm the air. Ideal in areas without access to natural gas or where safety is a top priority.
- Heat Pumps: Heat pumps transfer heat from the outdoor air into your home using refrigerant and a compressor. In winter, they act like a reverse air conditioner. They’re highly efficient and can also cool your home in summer.
- Ductless Mini-Splits: These systems consist of one or more indoor air handlers and a single outdoor unit. They use refrigerant to deliver heated air directly into each room, eliminating the need for ductwork and enabling zoned comfort.
- Boilers (Gas or Oil): Boilers heat water, which is then circulated through radiators, baseboards, or in-floor pipes to warm your home. This radiant heat feels even and gentle, making it ideal for older homes or homes without forced-air systems.
- Radiant Floor Heating: Installed under flooring, this system uses warm water or electric coils to heat your space from the ground up. It provides silent, uniform heat and is often used in bathrooms, kitchens, and additions.
No matter your home’s age or layout, BPM Heating, Cooling & Plumbing can help you select and install the best system for comfort, performance, and efficiency.
What to Expect During Installation
We manage every step of the installation process, including code compliance and permits. Here’s how it works:
- In-home assessment – We evaluate your existing system (if applicable), insulation, ductwork, and comfort preferences.
- System selection – We help you compare models, efficiency levels, warranties, and cost.
- Permitting and prep – We handle all local permitting and ensure the job meets safety codes.
- Professional installation – Our team installs your new system with attention to detail and manufacturer guidelines.
- Thermostat & control setup – We install smart or traditional controls and show you how to use them.
- Cleanup and commissioning – We test the system thoroughly and leave your space spotless.
Repair vs. Replace: What’s More Cost-Effective?
Sometimes it’s tempting to keep repairing an older system. But beyond a certain point, replacement makes more sense:
| Factor | Repair | Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront Cost | Lower | Higher |
| Long-Term Cost | Higher (repeated service, poor efficiency) | Lower (better efficiency, fewer breakdowns) |
| System Age | Good option for units under 10 years | Better option if over 12–15 years |
| Comfort Impact | May fix symptoms temporarily | Provides long-term, balanced comfort |
We’ll give you the facts and help you make the right decision—without pressure.
