Staten Island Heating Done Right by Bob Mims

All houses and buildings in the Staten Island have some sort of heating system. The heating system keeps the building comfortably warm during the cold winter months. The most common heating systems in this area are forced hot air heat, hot water (or Boiler) heat, steam heat, and heat pumps. Fireplaces, coal-burning stoves, and wood-burning stoves provide supplemental heat in some buildings. The source of fuel for the heating system can be oil, gas, or electricity.

Heating Maintenance

A Heating System quickly loses efficiency. The dirtier the indoor coil or the outdoor condenser gets, the more heat efficiency that’s lost. This is why at Bob Mims, we include a complimentary tune up within the first year for Staten Island homeowners, ensuring that we will return to maintain your new Heating equipment. Every manufacturer recommends you have maintenance/tune-up done yearly to ensure your unit performs at peak efficiency and we want to make sure that happens.

Heating Efficiencies for Staten Island Homeowners by Bob Mims

The annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE; pronounced 'A'-'Few') is a thermal efficiency measure of combustion equipment like furnaces, boilers, and water heaters. The AFUE differs from the true 'thermal efficiency' in that it is not a steady-state, peak measure of conversion efficiency, but instead attempts to represent the actual, season-long, average efficiency of that piece of equipment, including the operating transients.[1] Information provided by Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
