Is it Time to Replace My Furnace?

No matter how well you take care of your furnace, there will eventually come a point when you have to replace it. The sooner you can recognize when your furnace is nearing the end of its life, the sooner you can have it replaced before it gives out completely. You wouldn’t want to be left without heat for a few days while searching for a new heating system, would you? With that in mind, take a look at some of the common signs that you need to replace your furnace.

Age

Furnaces are built to last right around 20 years, after which the chances of them developing serious problems goes up significantly. Even if you manage to keep your furnace running for another decade or two past the initial 20, it will be far more expensive to operate than simply installing a new one. Once your furnace gets past 20 years old, you should get a new one.

More Frequent Repairs

Old furnaces have quite a bit of wear and tear on them, which means that the various parts inside them are more likely to fail. Since each part wears down a little differently, there’s a chance of groups of parts failing in rapid succession. If you need to repair your furnace every few months, it’s time to replace it.

Rising Heating Bills

As a furnace gets older, it will start to become less and less efficient. This will force the system to stay on for longer and longer, which will in turn drive the cost of operating the system up. If your heating bills are going up over time for no apparent reason, you should see if your furnace needs to be replaced.
