Rhode Island Energy offers rebates up to $10,000 for high-efficiency heat pumps, plus additional incentives for income-qualified households. Natural gas boiler upgrades can qualify for $500-2,500 rebates. You'll need to use a participating contractor and meet efficiency requirements to qualify.
Most College Hill homes date to the early 1900s with original radiator systems and aging ductwork. Cast iron radiators develop leaks, old boilers lose efficiency, and dated electrical systems can't handle modern heating loads. The narrow row house layouts also make retrofitting challenging.
At 15 years, you're approaching typical furnace lifespan of 16-20 years. If repair costs exceed 50% of replacement value, or you're calling for service twice yearly, replacement makes financial sense. Modern units are 20-30% more efficient than 15-year-old models.
Salt air from Narragansett Bay corrodes outdoor components like heat pump condensers and boiler vents faster than inland areas. Humidity also promotes rust in ductwork and radiators. Annual maintenance including coil cleaning and moisture control helps combat these coastal effects.
First check your thermostat batteries and settings, then verify the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. For gas systems, ensure the pilot light is lit and gas valve is open. Check that vents aren't blocked by snow or debris outside, and replace your air filter if it's dirty.
