Your heating system has gone kaput and it\u2019s time for you to make the decision about a new heating installation in Mandeville<\/a>. Because you don\u2019t use your heating system as much as your air conditioner, you may be tempted to simply replace it with the same type of system you had before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, by taking some time and doing a bit of research, you may find out that another type of heating system would work better for your home comfort along with both your short-term and long-term budget. Let\u2019s look at the three main types of heating systems that are available in today\u2019s market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Central Furnace<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The heating power and budget-friendliness of a central furnace are two of its biggest perks. When it comes to choosing a furnace, you\u2019ll need to decide between a gas or electric model. Keep in mind that the cost of electricity and natural gas fluctuate over time\u2013an important factor in how much it\u2019ll cost to run the furnace for as long as you own it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although you\u2019ll never have to worry about whether a furnace has the ability to heat your home, with our mild winter weather, some homeowners feel that a furnace is overkill. If you want to replace your air conditioner at the same time, you might be better off going with a heat pump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll also have to choose how energy-efficient you want your furnace to be. Luckily, you won\u2019t have to put too much thought into this. An extremely energy-efficient furnace with a high AFUE rating isn\u2019t as lucrative here in Louisiana as it is for our neighbors to the north who rely on a furnace for many, many months of the year. You can get away with a less energy-efficient model here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ducted Heat Pump<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Heat pumps are surging in popularity, especially in areas with climates like ours. That\u2019s because they\u2019re ideal for areas with mild winters and hot summers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although a heat pump costs more than a furnace, keep in mind that you\u2019re getting an air conditioner as well. Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling which allows many homeowners to worry less about their upfront cost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ducted heat pumps have a similar setup to central heating or AC. It\u2019ll rely on your home\u2019s existing duct work to deliver the conditioned air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ductless Mini Split<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These work just like heat pumps. The real difference is that they don\u2019t rely on air ducts or ductwork. Instead, individual air handler units are installed in the rooms and zones throughout your home. It\u2019s up to you to choose how many are installed and where they go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ductless mini splits are perfect for homes that don\u2019t have ductwork or where the air ducts are old, outdated, and have succumbed to a lot of wear and tear. They\u2019ll also eliminate squabbles at the thermostat as your household members can control the temperature of their own rooms and spaces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
