When the Outer Banks weather turns chilly, having a dependable furnace isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity. Whether you’re upgrading your existing unit or outfitting a new build, choosing the right furnace can make all the difference in your home’s comfort and efficiency. At Delta T Heating & Air, we know that each household in Dare and Currituck County has its own unique heating needs. That’s why we’re here to help you make an informed, confident choice.
Consider Your Home’s Size and Layout
The first step to choosing the right furnace is evaluating the size of your home. A furnace that’s too small won’t keep up with demand, while one that’s too large will cycle on and off frequently—wasting energy and wearing out faster. Our experienced technicians will perform a load calculation to determine the perfect capacity based on square footage, insulation, window placement, and more.
Fuel Type: Gas vs. Electric
Most homeowners in our area choose between gas and electric furnaces. Gas furnaces are generally more cost-effective over time, especially if your home is already connected to a gas line. Electric models, on the other hand, are often more affordable upfront and have fewer maintenance requirements. At Delta T Heating & Air, we’ll walk you through the pros and cons to help you decide what fits your home and lifestyle best.
Energy Efficiency Matters
Energy-efficient furnaces aren’t just good for the planet—they’re great for your wallet, too. Look for a furnace with a high AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) rating. Modern high-efficiency units can reach 90% or higher, meaning you get more heat for every dollar spent. We’ll help you find models that qualify for local rebates or incentives to make the investment even more worthwhile.
Features That Add Comfort
Today’s furnaces come with more features than ever before. Variable-speed blowers, smart thermostats, and zoned heating systems can significantly improve your comfort and control. Our team will recommend options tailored to your preferences—whether you're looking for quiet operation, better humidity control, or smart home compatibility.
Installation You Can Trust
Even the best furnace won’t perform well without proper installation. That’s where Delta T Heating & Air comes in. As a family-owned and trusted local HVAC provider, we offer expert installation backed by solid warranties and honest service. We don’t just sell systems—we build relationships, and your comfort is always our priority.
