When Should You Replace Your Furnace?

12/30/2014
Your furnace works around the clock during the winter. This demanding workload often causes older furnaces to fail on some of the chilliest days of the year in Reeds Spring. You may not even think about the possibility until you come home to a freezing house one day. Then you’re in emergency mode, and that’s not the best place to be. The All Seasons Comfort Systems Inc team can help. We’ve created this list of symptoms that your furnace may be showing that will let you know it may be time to replace it.

If your rooms aren’t evenly heated, your furnace may be failing. This problem could be remedied by confirming that your ductwork is properly sealed. Properly sealing your ducts can not only keep your home evenly heated, but it can prevent your furnace from working harder than it needs to. You could save your furnace and save some money with improved energy efficiency.

Always have a noisy furnace inspected by the pros at All Seasons Comfort Systems Inc. Some people learn that their system is actually too small for their home, which can cause it to cycle between on and off more frequently. And rattling sounds could be telling you that inner pieces aren’t operating as they should be.

You probably realize that older furnaces often fail, and before that happens they become less and less energy efficient. If you’re making appointments for furnace repair frequently, it’s time to think about a new system. Waiting too long to make a new purchase could cost you more money in the long run.

The average lifespan of a furnace or boiler is about 15 years. So, if your system is getting older, it could be to you advantage to get a new, efficient and quiet system. In Reeds Spring, the team at All Seasons Comfort Systems Inc can help you decide what would be best for you and your home.
