10/25/24

As the days get shorter and the nights chillier, it’s time to start thinking about how your heating system will handle the winter months ahead. If you have an oil- or gas-fired boiler or furnace that’s starting to show its age, you may not need to replace it entirely. Instead, a retrofit could be the perfect solution to keep your home comfortable and warm without the cost and hassle of a full replacement. Here’s what you need to know about retrofitting your heating system with Kresge Electric.

Why Consider a Heating System Retrofit?

Over time, heating systems, particularly oil and gas boilers and furnaces, can lose their efficiency. Components wear out, and new technology offers better options for energy conservation and performance. A retrofit, which involves updating and enhancing your existing system, allows you to improve your unit’s efficiency, reliability, and longevity without a complete replacement. Retrofitting is often an economical and environmentally friendly choice. Instead of discarding an entire system, Kresge Electric upgrades critical components, reducing your energy costs and your system’s environmental impact. This option is especially popular with homeowners looking to reduce their utility bills, as retrofits can lead to significantly lower heating costs over time.

What’s Involved in a Retrofit?

When you contact Kresge Electric for a retrofit, you’re working with a team that understands heating systems inside and out. The process generally includes:

• Assessment: First, our experts assess your current system to determine its condition and identify potential areas for improvement. This step helps ensure we recommend upgrades that make the most sense for your system and budget.
• System Optimization: For many systems, this involves updating controls, adjusting burner settings, and cleaning heat exchangers. Simple adjustments like these can often improve efficiency and output, allowing your system to heat your home more effectively.
• Component Upgrades: Kresge Electric offers a variety of component upgrades. Common options include replacing the burner, installing advanced controls or thermostats, and adding more efficient heat exchangers. Each of these upgrades can make a big difference in your system’s efficiency and can be tailored to meet your specific heating needs.
• Testing and Fine-Tuning: After any adjustments or installations, we thoroughly test your system to ensure it’s operating at peak performance. We also make any final adjustments needed to optimize energy efficiency and performance.

Benefits of Retrofitting Your Heating System

If you’re still wondering if retrofitting is the right choice for you, here are some top benefits to consider:

• Enhanced Efficiency: Retrofitting often leads to higher efficiency, which means your system can deliver the same warmth with less fuel. Over time, this adds up to noticeable savings on your heating bills.
• Extended System Life: By addressing minor issues before they lead to larger problems, retrofitting helps prolong the life of your existing system. It’s a great way to protect your investment in your current heating system while preparing for the cold months ahead.
• Environmentally Friendly: With a more efficient system, you’re not only saving money but also reducing your carbon footprint. Heating accounts for a large portion of household energy use, so optimizing your system’s efficiency has a positive environmental impact.
• Improved Comfort: A retrofitted heating system provides more consistent and reliable warmth. Say goodbye to cold spots, constant adjustments, and rising energy bills.
