Winter Preparedness: Keeping Warm in Southern New Hampshire

As temperatures drop across Nashua, Hudson, Merrimack, Milford, and Amherst, ensuring your home’s heating system is functioning efficiently becomes a top priority. At MASI Plumbing, Heating & AC, we understand the importance of maintaining a warm, comfortable home throughout New Hampshire’s challenging winter months.

Signs Your Furnace May Need Repair

Don’t wait until your heating system completely fails during the coldest day of the year. Watch for these warning signs:

• Unusual noises including banging, rattling, or whistling
• Sudden increases in your energy bills without corresponding usage
• Uneven heating throughout your home
• Yellow pilot light (instead of blue)
• Frequent cycling on and off

Addressing these issues promptly through professional heating service can prevent more costly repairs later and extend your system’s lifespan.

When to Consider Furnace Replacement

Most heating systems have a lifespan of 15-20 years. If your furnace is approaching this age range, replacement might be more economical than continuing repairs. Modern systems offer significant efficiency improvements, potentially reducing your heating costs by 20-30%.

Heater Installation: What to Expect

Professional installation ensures your new heating system performs optimally. Our process includes:

• Comprehensive home assessment to determine proper sizing
• Removal and disposal of old equipment
• Proper installation following manufacturer specifications
• System testing and calibration
• Homeowner operation tutorial

Year-Round Maintenance Tips

Even the best heating systems require regular maintenance. We recommend:

• Scheduling professional furnace service annually before winter
• Replacing filters every 1-3 months during heavy-use seasons
• Keeping vents and returns clear of obstructions
• Installing a programmable thermostat to improve efficiency
