How to choose the most suitable heating system?

These are the main factors to consider:

1. Evaluate your home’s size and insulation – the better the insulation, the more efficient the system;
2. Consider infrastructure limitations – in apartment buildings, it is often not possible to install a heat pump or pellet boiler;
3. Compare long-term costs – not only installation price, but also fuel, maintenance, and upgrade costs;
4. Think about transparency and fairness – if you choose district heating, check if individual heat metering is available.

How much does modernization cost?

Investments in heating system modernization usually pay off within 5–10 years. For example, ECENGO HCMS system users see heating bills decrease by an average of 15–30% in the very first season.

Conclusion

The right heating system affects not only your comfort but also your monthly bills. Consider energy efficiency, control options, and transparency. A smart choice pays off both financially and emotionally.
