Changes in the operation or performance of your furnace is an indication that something is not working correctly. The following are common furnace changes that often signal it might be time for furnace replacement.

Feels Colder If you start to notice that some rooms are colder than others or that the furnace is having trouble maintaining the set temperature, it could be time for furnace replacement. Strange Noises Furnaces should be relatively quiet while operating. Any new noise indicates a problem with the inner mechanics. Depending on the issue, it might be more cost effective to upgrade the heating system rather than repairing it. Rising Heating Bills As heating systems age, they don’t heat the home as efficiently. Increased monthly heating bills could indicate that it’s time to upgrade the furnace. Frequent Repairs Furnace breakdowns can get expensive, especially when repairs and service calls become more frequent. If you require regular furnace repair and the system is no longer covered by warranties, it might be more affordable to upgrade. Furnace Age Furnaces can last roughly between 15 and 20 years. If your current heating system is over a decade old and is showing signs of aging, it’s best to proactively replace the furnace instead of waiting for it to completely break down. The best way to know if it’s time to replace your furnace is to call a certified heating specialist. furnace replacement
