Common Types of Heating Systems

Furnaces

Furnaces are the heart of home heating for many households, providing reliable and efficient warmth during the coldest months. We service all makes and models, offering everything from routine maintenance to complex repairs and installations. Whether your furnace needs a quick fix or a complete overhaul, our skilled technicians ensure it’s running at peak performance, keeping your home warm and your energy bills manageable.

Boilers

Boilers offer a unique and consistent heating experience, ideal for homes with radiators or baseboard heating systems. These systems circulate heated water or glycol to provide steady warmth throughout your home. Our team specializes in the care and maintenance of boilers, offering expert repair services, routine check-ups, and professional installations to ensure your boiler system runs smoothly and efficiently for years to come.

Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are a versatile and energy-efficient solution, providing both heating and cooling to keep your home comfortable year-round. These systems require specialized care to maintain their efficiency, and our technicians are experts in all aspects of heat pump service—from repairs and maintenance to installations and conversions. We ensure your heat pump operates reliably, helping you save on energy costs while staying comfortable in every season.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What should I do if my heat stops working?

    First, check if your furnace or heater is receiving power—ensure the fuse or circuit breaker hasn’t tripped and that the power switch is set to ON. If your filter hasn’t been changed in a while, try replacing it, as a dirty filter can cause issues. Also, make sure your thermostat is set to “heat” and not “cool,” and if the display is dim, replace the batteries. Finally, check for snow or debris blocking your outdoor vent. If none of these solve the problem, give us a call at (218) 390-1479.

  • Is furnace maintenance really necessary?

    We highly recommend regular maintenance for your furnace. Many heating issues arise because routine care is overlooked, with homeowners hoping for the best. During a maintenance visit, our HVAC specialist will inspect for any signs of wear, clean away accumulated dust, and test all electrical components. Regular maintenance not only boosts efficiency but also keeps your manufacturer’s warranty valid, making it one of the best ways to protect your heating system.

  • What does your customer service mean by a "No-Heat Call"?

    A "no-heat call" refers to a situation where a customer’s furnace, boiler, or heater has completely stopped producing heat. This can be particularly uncomfortable, especially during Carlton’s colder months, so we make it a priority to address these situations promptly.

  • What will a new furnace cost me?

    The cost of installing a new furnace depends on several factors, such as the type of furnace you choose, the complexity of the installation, and the size of the unit. If your home requires two units, that can also affect the overall cost of the replacement.

  • How often should I change my furnace filter?

    Regularly changing your air filter is crucial for maintaining your heating system’s efficiency. For standard 1-inch filters, we recommend a monthly change. If you have a 4-inch filter, manufacturers suggest replacing it every six to nine months. If you have pets that shed, you may need to check more often. The easiest way to tell if it’s time to replace your filter is by its color—if it’s gray rather than white, it’s time for a new one.

  • What can I do to lower my heating bills?

    Heating costs are often one of the biggest parts of your utility bills. You can reduce these costs by regularly changing your filter and keeping up with routine maintenance. Setting your thermostat to 68°F (20°C) instead of 70°F or 72°F can also help. For more significant savings, consider upgrading to a new furnace—modern furnaces are much more fuel-efficient thanks to advancements in technology.
