HEATING ISSUES

Efficient & Affordable

Furnace manufacturing has come a long way. With today’s advanced technology, old oil furnaces, even those made only 20 years ago, can potentially offer as little as half the heat production of more modern models.

Benefits of a Gas vs Oil Furnace

Gas furnaces are the most efficient type of furnace on the market today. Replacing your old oil furnace with a new natural gas furnace will undoubtedly save you money and maintenance. Why Choose a Natural Gas Furnace:

  • Burns more cleanly. No soot or oily odor.
  • Less expensive than oil or electric
  • Lower maintenance costs
  • Higher energy efficiency
  • Far lower emissions
  • More reliable than oil or electric furnaces

If you live in Alexandria, Fairfax, Fairfax Station, Lorton, Woodbridge, or anywhere in Northern Virginia and are ready to install your new gas furnace, call us today! We supply most major brands of furnaces, and we’re an authorized American Standard Furnace dealer.

Signs That it’s Time to Replace Your Furnace

  • Utility bills are higher than normal – this could mean your unit is not running efficiently and using more electricity or gas than needed.
  • System needs repair several times throughout a season – if your furnace is costing you more in repairs, it may be more cost effective to replace it.
  • Furnace is making strange noises – if your heating system is making strange noises, it could mean that it is towards the end of its life.
  • Burner flame is yellow instead of blue – this could mean your furnace is creating carbon monoxide. If this happens, call 911 and exit the house immediately. Contact IAQ Medics to examine the unit before turning it back on.
