Heating Systems and Pink Elephants

If someone says, "Don't think of pink elephants," what is the first image that pops into your mind? Right, a pink elephant... Likewise, if your home heating system is not keeping you warm this winter, or it is only keeping you warm at the cost of unmanageable utility bills, the problem will be present in your awareness no matter how much you try to rationalize it away. You can tell yourself that next month's bills will not be as bad, or that it's not going to be as cold. If you are running space heaters, or trying to keep the house warm with a fireplace or oven, then you are only compounding the problem. There is no need to go another year or another month without an energy efficient central heating system for your home.

If your house is old enough, it might have one of those ancient floor furnaces. And it might even do a good job of keeping your home warm... but at what cost? Not only are natural gas prices high, but those old systems can be a risk for producing lethal levels of carbon monoxide gas. If you have done a good job of weather proofing an older house with one of those floor furnaces, you have just made it even easier for carbon monoxide levels to build to dangerous levels. Now, there is a pink elephant for you!

For maximum comfort, economy, and safety, you will most likely find that a new central heating system will provide you with the optimum solution for your home. Because of the incentive to reduce the cost of energy use, the home heating industry has been highly focused on producing energy efficient products for homes and businesses. The U.S. Government has also made it easier to upgrade to more energy efficient systems by offering tax breaks to home owners who have qualified systems installed. And, because there are very definite financial advantages to upgrading home heating systems, finance companies have made it easy to obtain loans to purchase and install them.

This triple bonus of savings in utility cost, improved home value, and potential tax savings should be enough to make short work of that elephant in your living room. But if that is not enough, also consider the improved comfort and safety that a new central heating system could provide for you and those dear to you.

Thinking about the solution does not make the problem go away, however. Give a call to your local heating system dealer to see what solutions they have to offer you. You will find that they will already have relationships with lenders if you need help paying for your new system, and in many cases you may be able to pay for the system over the course of twelve months with no interest. You will be happy to find experts that know exactly the kind of help you need, and banish that elephant from your awareness for good.
