Signs You Need Furnace Replacement

Nobody likes replacing a furnace; it’s expensive and a hassle. But all good things must come to an end, including your heater. Here are the most common signs that it’s time to put your system out to pasture and invest in our furnace installation service.

Age: The average furnace lifespan is typically a little longer than that of your Air Conditioning components at between 15-3020 years (whereas your AC system is typically 15-20 years), so if your system is approaching or past that age, plan on replacing it sooner rather than later.
Frequent Repairs: Do you need a contractor every season to keep your heater running? As heaters age, they need more frequent and expensive repairs, and at some point, it’s more economical to replace them than to sink money into a system that’s past its prime.
Higher Energy Bills: Another problem with aging heaters is they lose efficiency, work harder to maintain temperature, and use more energy. If you’ve noticed a sudden spike in your energy bills, look to your heater as the culprit.

Why Heater Maintenance Is So Important

Most people wouldn’t think about not taking their car to the mechanic for a 3,000-mile checkup, but they regularly ignore heater maintenance. Whether you think it’s too expensive or just forget, here are why it’s so important.

Better Efficiency: Regular maintenance keeps your heater running efficiently, which can significantly reduce your energy expenses.

Longer System Lifespan: Like any machine, a heater will last longer if you replace worn-out parts and fix minor issues early before they escalate and cause premature failure.

Improved Safety: A certified furnace contractor will check for leaks and electrical problems that could put your family at risk of things like carbon monoxide poisoning or a fire.

Better Air Quality: A well-maintained heater that’s professionally cleaned makes your indoor air healthier, which benefits people with asthma, allergies, or respiratory issues.

Which Furnace Is Right For You?

When you need a new furnace, you have many options, and here are some guidelines to help you decide.

Single Stage Furnace: This most basic type of furnace operates at one high output level to heat the area to the desired temperature before shutting down. Single-stage furnaces are less expensive but can result in uneven heating.

Dual Stage Furnaces: This furnace has two heat output levels: high and low. It adjusts its output based on heating demand, which is better for energy efficiency.

Variable Stage (Modulating) Furnaces: A modulating furnace offers the highest level of efficiency and comfort but comes at a steeper cost. They modulate heat and air output in small increments based on your temperature requirements, resulting in more even comfort, consistent temperature, and quiet operation.

High-Efficiency (90%+) AKA Condensing Furnaces: These types of furnaces can use 90%+ of the heat they produce to heat your home. This significantly improves efficiency compared to the more typical, older 80% induced draft furnaces. This is especially true, considering you can opt for a 97% efficient furnace design today!
