Winters Company Announces “Jurassic Furnace” Contest

Are you socking away money to heat your home this winter? Even though heating costs have steadily risen over the last five years, homeowners with “dinosaur” furnaces end up spending at least 30 percent more than homeowners with newer, energy efficient furnaces to heat their home each winter.

Winters Company, providers of plumbing, heating and air quality home services to thousands of residents in the greater Boston area, will be awarding a brand new $2500 energy efficient York heating system, fully-installed, along with one-year service contract to the person who can show that he or she has the oldest working heating system in the area.

Homeowners who think they have the oldest, most outdated heating system in the greater Boston area can call Winters Company at (617) 484-2121 to enter the “Jurassic Furnace” contest.

York heating systems are built with proven components to provide safe, clean and reliable comfort year-round. The average lifespan of a furnace is 12 to 15 years. Tim Flynn, president of Winters Company, expects to see at least one or two homeowners with furnaces that are 20 to 30 years old.

“Some homeowners with older furnaces believe their heating bill will be manageable because their home is small and they keep the heat set at 60. Then they get their bill, which is outrageous, and they ask themselves why they are bundled up in sweaters all the time. A newer, energy efficient furnace works at maximum capacity for a lot less money,” noted Flynn

He continued, “Our contest gives the owners of ‘Jurassic period’ heating systems an opportunity to win a brand new, energy efficient heating system, fully-installed complete with a one-year service contract.

According to Flynn, a new heating system pays for itself in a matter of months. A homeowner could save approximately $200 to $300 on the heating bill every month.

Service Partner Programs Available

A heating, cooling or plumbing emergency is never something you want to experience, but it can happen when you least expect it. Winters Company offers Heating, Cooling and Plumbing Service Partner programs which include annual tune-ups and maintenance to help ensure that those emergencies don’t happen.

Winters Company Plumbing & Heating Helps Greater Boston’s Homeowners “Go Green”

Winters Company Plumbing & Heating, providers of plumbing and home services to thousands of residents throughout greater Boston, has recently announced their new “green initiative” for homeowners.

 

Winters Company is offering a Home Systems Analysis to homeowners seeking to upgrade their older systems to “greener”, more cost-effective, energy efficient systems.

“There are a number of upgrades that homeowners can make that will save them a lot of money over time and which are better for their home and the environment. As part of the 2009 Federal Stimulus Package, tax credits for certain energy improvements are available until the end of 2010,” noted Tim Flynn, the company’s president.

Winters Company offers these “green” upgrades that are eligible for a tax credit:

 

  • Tankless Water Heater upgrade provides the homeowner with a constant supply of hot water while saving the homeowner money. Tankless water heaters heat water directly so there is no need for a storage tank. They also free up space in your home and are safer than conventional water heaters.

  • Oil to Natural Gas Heating System Conversion means better efficiency, less maintenance and quieter and cleaner burning fuel than oil. Homeowners who already have gas heating should consider replacement to gain better efficiency if the system is more than 15 years old.


  • Air-Conditioning Upgrade to an award winning Westinghouse Cooling System which is the most efficient on the market and provides total home comfort and reduced utility bills.

 

These upgrades qualify for the Energy Star tax credit, which is a federal tax credit of 30 percent of the total cost (up to $1,500). The tax credit is available until December 31, 2010.

To make it even easier for homeowners, Winters Company has made the appropriate tax forms available on their website for easy download at www.wintersplumbing.com.
