Late spring or early summer is one of the most popular times to buy a home in the Halifax Regional Municipality. Whether you’re a newcomer wanting to relocate to Nova Scotia, a growing family looking for a larger home, or a couple seeking to downsize for retirement, there is no lack of factors to consider when facing the daunting task ahead of you.
One of the important considerations when purchasing a new home is the heating system of the property you may have in mind. While homes in our area are heated with natural gas and electricity, oil heating remains one of the most popular methods of home heating due to its safety, efficiency, and the cozy warmth it provides, especially suited to our chilly and damp Maritime weather.
If you are 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. They will also seek out and review 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 an estimate of potential repair costs or recommended upgrades.
At Scotia Fuels, we pride ourselves on offering a complimentary oil heating equipment inspection covering all the checks described above for any prospective homebuyers. This free, no-strings-attached service is conducted by our certified technicians.
