Home Heating System?

I’m looking for my first home. Can someone give me a quick crash course on Home Heating Systems. What should i look for. How should i inspect it. What are some Older models and what are some upgrades that are cost efficient and environmentally friendly? I’m looking in northern NJ area. Winters are cold. Thanks

Basically no, it’s too big of a question to answer here. But you should do some research in the area you are moving in to. The gas co., electric co., propane suppliers all have literature they can send you. The main thing is to compare apples to apples, or BTU’s in your case. Find the cost per BTU for each fuel, if that will be the main factor in buying a home. Efficiency and comfort have broad ranges within each fuel, for example: Gas/forced air furnace vs gas boiler w/radiators vs gas boiler w/ slab heat. Confused yet?
When you are considering buying a house, they will normally have listed on the info sheet what the last 12 months heat, lights, water, and garbage cost were, as well as the property taxes. For heating costs, take the total yearly heat cost divided by the homes square footage. This will give you the price per square foot to heat that house. Do the same on the next home you look at, and compare the “$/per sq ft”. The cheaper amount will be the more efficient home.
Hope I didn’t confuse you more…..

How much is a blow coil for the central heating and air unit cost?

The other day we got the gas turned on in our new house. When the gas man was doing a walk through through the house to see if everything was working properly, he said that the blow coil was out on the central heating and air unitso that is why our heat will not blow out. I was wondering where I might be able to find one of those and how much does a blow coil cost?

depends on the make and type of igniter…typically you are looking around 50 bucks for a common stock igniter

Converting residential oil boiler to electric system?

Can an existing residential oil burning boiler system be converted to an electric heated boiler system by merely replacing the boiler unit and adding a dedicated electrical supply line. The house is nearly 100 years old and the existing system is still functioning properly. Do the new electric systems have internal parts that now exist on the outside of my current boiler that can be eliminated. To save money, I’d like to use all the existing components that I can if this isn’t going to create a problem making the conversion successful. All advise and guidance is greatly appreciated. Thanks
Josh — there is no mention of “extra parts” in my question. There are external parts in my current system that may or may not be required with a new system. If you were qualified to answer this question, you would know that already. But, thanks anyway.

Thermolec Boilers are made for the purpose you highlighted. Information can be found at http://www.epsalesinc.com/thermolec/boilers . Installation by Heating professional is required but it will be on any replacement system of this kind. Shouldn’t need to add anything special into the system if you already have a working boiler system.
