Here in Southern Vermont, we know how rough winters can get. Having dependable energy that can help rapidly heat your home with a furnace, boiler, or ductless mini splits is great.
But what happens when the power goes out? Where do you turn when the dependable system you’ve been counting on all this time has failed you?
That’s when you consider wood stove installation. That’s when you take that safety and assurance back into your own hands.
There are just a few things you need to know before you jump in with both feet. Let’s run through them together.

Wood-burning stoves are one of those sights you often see in cozy rom-com movies, burning away in the background. But wood stoves are actually good for a lot more than simply being a movie set prop! Those of us who live in the Northeast understand that a reliable wood stove is a tried and true way to keep warm. Having one installed requires the touch of an experienced professional.
Have you considered the installation of a ductless mini-split for heating and cooling your home? If not, now may be a great time to do it. This type of system is perfect for some applications and homes, including increasing the comfort of add-on rooms, for older homes that don’t have space for traditional ductwork, and for new builds. 
With temperatures finally warming up, we’re probably all looking forward to giving our heating systems a break for a few months, right? It almost seems silly to even say we have a spring season, given how chilly it’s been for the majority of it.
Winter is progressing right along, and by now you probably know how well–or how poorly–your heating system is operating. Even if you haven’t been hanging out by your thermostat taking specific notes on the ins and outs of your system, we bet you’ve noticed if the system is making a strange noise, or if the air coming out of the vents isn’t as warm as it should be.
When it comes to maintaining your heating system–whether you use a furnace or a heat pump–there are a few care tips that we’ll never stop talking about. Professional tune-ups, for example, are always recommended. For traditional furnaces, you should be getting professional maintenance done once a year, while for a year-round heat pump system that both cools and heats, maintenance should be done every 6 months since this type of equipment gets a lot more use.
