Your heating system is an essential part of your home so it’s important that it’s working properly. As your system gets older there are signs like increasing energy bills, uneven heating, strange noises in the furnace, and more that indicate it’s time for a repair. Installing a replacement furnace can be more cost-effective after you factor in energy savings and time/cost saved on repairs. Here are some signs that could mean it’s time to replace your heating system.
Higher Energy Bills
Older furnaces are less efficient and need more fuel to heat your home. Increased fuel consumption will lead to higher monthly energy costs. Installing an energy-efficient furnace can provide long-term savings. Older models also require more regular maintenance which further increases the time/cost of using the system to heat your home.
Uneven Heating
Finding hot or cold spots in your home could mean that your heating system is no longer distributing heat effectively. This could be caused by a weakened blower fan. A properly functioning heating system will evenly distribute heat throughout your home so each room is roughly the same temperature.
Furnace Making Strange Noises
Internal components have often fallen loose if you are hearing banging or rattling noises inside your furnace and it’s no longer working properly. Normal sounds include a faint hum and quiet clicking. It’s a good idea to get a heating system inspection as soon as possible because more damage can be done if the problem isn’t resolved.
Frequent Repairs Needed
Older systems are prone to issues like failing ignition systems/pilot lights, cracked exchangers, and worn components that keep them from working properly. Frequent service calls could be a sign that it’s time for a replacement. A brand-new heating system is often considerably more reliable and cost-effective with increased efficiency and modern features compared to older systems.
