As we approach the beginning of summer and the close of the school year, it seems like a good time to provide some useful details for those contemplating home purchases during this peak season.
Perhaps you’re a new homebuyer, or you’re considering a move to Nova Scotia, in either case, you might like to know that the preferred heating method here isn’t the standard natural gas or electricity, as commonly seen throughout most of Canada. In Nova Scotia, oil heating stands out as the principal choice, an excellent option due to its safety, efficiency, and the cozy warmth it provides, especially suited to our chilly and damp Maritime weather.
If you’re assessing a home equipped with an oil heating system, it’s crucial to arrange for an expert technician to thoroughly inspect its setup. This certified professional will gauge the age and state of the furnace, water heater/boiler, heating duct outlets, radiators, and internal or external oil tanks. They’ll perform efficiency checks and examine for leakages, abnormal noises, and peculiar smells. He or She will also seek out and scrutinize the furnace’s maintenance records if available. You’ll be handed a comprehensive report at the end of this inspection, offering a detailed appraisal of the furnace system and any potential repair costs or recommended upgrades.
