There’s nothing worse than your furnace going out on a frigid day in Macon. Or not turning on at all.
While you can’t predict exactly when your furnace will give up, there are a few signs you need a replacement.
4 Signs You Need a New Furnace
We have a couple tips that may help you understand whether you should replace your your equipment.
1. Machine Age
You can expect your furnace to last 12–17 years with routine maintenance. If yours is older than 15 years old, it’s time to contemplate getting a new one.
2. Costly Energy Bills
Aging furnaces tend to be less effective, which can make your home less comfortable and increase your heating bill.
3. Uneven Heating
Inadequately sealed or leaky ducts can cause unpredictable heating.
4. Cold Home
A furnace that needs to be replaced may be battling to keep your home cozy.
Benefits of Replacing Your Furnace
New furnaces afford many benefits older systems can’t extend. Plus, you won’t have to think about replacing your unit for many years.
You’ll also receive several other benefits.
Fewer Repairs
New heating systems tend to work well post-installtion, and having furnace maintenance will help it work smoothly for years. While we can’t promise you’ll never need repairs, newer furnaces generally don’t need fixes as frequently.
