Heating accounts for nearly half of a household’s energy use during the colder months. That means if your system isn’t doing its job, you’re not just cold you’re paying for wasted energy, too.
At Optimum Air Solutions, we understand how important reliable heat is for Belle Chasse homes. Whether you’re installing a new unit or replacing an old one, this guide will help you make smart decisions from start to finish.
When Should You Replace Your Heating System?
Here are some clear signs it might be time to stop spending money on repairs and look into a replacement:
-
Your heating bills are rising even though your usage hasn’t changed.
-
You’ve needed multiple repairs in the last year.
-
Some rooms are too hot, others too cold.
-
Your system is 15+ years old and losing efficiency.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to consider a new system.
Types of Heating Systems for Belle Chasse Homes
Different homes need different solutions. Here are the top options we install and recommend:
1. Furnaces
Furnaces heat air and push it through ductwork. They’re powered by gas, oil, or electricity.
Best for: Homes that already have ductwork and need even, whole-house heat.
2. Heat Pumps
These systems heat and cool using electricity and are ideal for Louisiana’s mild winters.
Best for: Homeowners who want efficiency and year-round comfort.
3. Ductless Mini-Splits
These offer heating and cooling for individual rooms—no ductwork needed.
Best for: Smaller homes, additions, or homes without central air.
4. Boilers
Boilers heat water and deliver heat through radiators or underfloor systems.
Best for: Quiet, consistent heat without blowing air or dust around.
