Summer is almost over, and it’s time to start getting your home ready for heating season. Part of that is making sure that your heating system is actually ready to keep your home warm throughout the winter. If your furnace is not able to keep you warm through another heating season, it’s a good idea to get it replaced now. That way, you don’t risk your furnace dying on you in the middle of a cold snap. Let’s take a look at some of the signs that you need a new furnace.
As a furnace gets older, it will begin to wear down. Efficiency will decline over time, forcing the furnace to stay on for longer and longer periods of time in order to compensate for the loss. This will cause your monthly heating costs to go up. If your bills are rising for no apparent reason, you may want to consider installing a new one.
All furnaces are going to need repairs every once in a while. However, an older furnace will be so worn out that various parts of it will start to fail in large groups. If you need to repair your furnace every few months, it’s likely that you need to install an entirely new system.
The average furnace is meant to last 10-15 years. Once it gets older than that, it will start to develop problems like the ones listed above. This will make the system ever more expensive to keep in good condition. If your furnace is older than 15 years, it’s a good idea to talk to a professional about whether or not you need a new one.
