Monday, March 5th, 2018

heating-maintenance-sessionMost homes in the area rely on forced-air furnaces for heat. They’re inexpensive and effective, which makes them an excellent fit for our short winters and comparatively mild heating needs.

Tips for a Successful Heating Installation

Monday, November 4th, 2013

Louisiana is a pretty warm place for much of the year, but the heat does not stick around year long. This means that the heating system in your home is every bit as important to your overall comfort as your air conditioner is. You can invest in the greatest heating system on the market but still fail to get the best performance it has to offer, though, if you fail to schedule your heating installation service in Hammond, LA with a skilled professional. Do not put your comfort in jeopardy this heating season. Contact the heating installation pros at A-Professional Heating and Air Conditioning. We’ll make sure that you get the most out of your heater.

The first step in ensuring that you get a great performance from your heating system is to discuss your heating options with a qualified heating installation technician. While furnaces are still at the top of the game, there are many other systems to choose from. If you enjoy the comfort that a forced air distribution system has to offer but are also interested in boosting energy efficiency, a heat pump may be right for you. No room for air ducts in your home? No problem. A ductless mini split system allows you to keep your home comfortable all year long without the use of ductwork. You may even want to consider the installation of an old fashioned fireplace or wood burning stove. There is no “right” method of home heating, only that which is right for you.

Another important part of ensuring that your heating installation is a success is to schedule your service prior to the heating season. As the season gets closer, technicians enter the busiest service time of the year. Putting off your heating installation may result in a delay of service and a disruption to your comfort.
