Home heating, and air conditioning systems are not maintenance-free. All mechanical systems require routine monitoring, adjustments, and cleaning and eventually require the replacement of components. Most manufacturers' warranties require regularly scheduled HVAC maintenance to honor warranty claims.

Determining the best use of electric heating involves a careful consideration of various factors, including the specific climate of your region, energy costs, and the desired level of comfort. Different types of electric heating systems, such as air source heat pumps, electric resistance heating, water source heat pumps, radiant floor heating, and domestic water heaters, each have their unique advantages and applications.
