Published weekly by the Port Perry Star -- | FEATURE There are many heating options Now that winter is in full swing, are you wondering about your heating system and whether you should have upgraded your fur- nace last summer or in- vested in a new, high- efficiency unit? Do your current heating bills leave you speechless? Although you can't do much to rectify the situation during the peak of heating season (unless your syst- tem breaks down altogether), now's the time to do your homework and compare the different types of heating systems and their costs, so that when spring comes, you can make informed decisions about upgrading your system or perhaps even switching to a different type.

The radiators or convectors retain the heat. However, since the system uses hot water, it takes a lit- - tle longer to raise the house temperature, than it does with a forced-air system. Burners on hot water boilers can be upgraded to more modern and efficient ones, or boilers can be replaced altogether by newer units, fired by either gas or oil. If your system is on its last legs, you may want to replace the entire system with a forced-air furnace, but this can be costly because ductwork "and registers must be in- stalled, and existing rads or convectors must be removed.
