Time for a New Heating System? Here’s What’s New

furnaceAlthough you might not use it often in Lubbock, Texas, your heating system becomes your best friend when a cold front blasts through the area. While the winter weather might be blowing away for the year soon, now’s as good time as any to invest in a new heating system if you need one. Not only will it prepare you for next winter, but it’ll also cost you less, since most people are getting ready for the summer.

That said, here is what the newest furnaces and boilers on the market today can offer by way of improvements:

The Newest Boilers on the Market

When it comes to purchasing a new boiler, you first must decide whether you want an oil-fired or a gas-fried one. While a gas boiler is more efficient, an oil boiler is cheaper to operate. Here are two of the newest boilers on the market and what each uniquely offers. As it pertains to minimal maintenance, both types are better than furnaces.

Performance™ 90 Gas-Fired Boiler BW9

  • Achieves an efficiency of 90 percent AFUE
  • Includes cast-aluminum heat exchanger
  • Turns on with a single-stage gas valve

Performance™ 86 Oil-Fired Boiler BW5

  • Achieves an efficiency of 86 percent AFUE
  • Includes cast-iron heat exchanger
  • Turns on with electronic spark to pilot ignition

The Newest Furnaces on the Market

Like a boiler, you can either purchase a gas or an oil furnace. As it pertains to energy efficiency, either type of furnace is considered better than either type of boiler. When compared, though, both have their own advantages/disadvantages. No matter which model of a modern furnace you purchase, you can expect your system to:

  • Operate economically, with two stages of heat
  • Operate quietly, with a variable-speed motor fan
  • Operate comfortably, with an extensive set of controls at your fingertips

I am so thankful for BTAC and the guys they sent out to repair a major hot and cold water leak under our slab. They knew what they were doing, and were very professional and polite, and I might add compassionate. They are an asset to the company!

To the credit of BTAC and it's management, I had a frustrating experience with them on a call out for a problem with a blower motor. I made my opinion known and contacted them through email to express it. They responded, sent out new technicians and made it right. That doesn't happen very often these days, and it's good to see a company show it cares about that. If you call these folks to come out, and your experience is what you expected, let them know, they'll work with you. 👍

I'm new to the Lubbock area and Bruce Thornton Air Conditioning was the first company we called. They had someone at our house to help in an hour and the service man had our AC fixed in 30 minutes. Their customer service was great from the receptionist who answered the phone to the hvac professional who fixed our AC!
