WARNING SIGNS
Signs It May Be Time to Replace Your Home’s Furnace
If you are encountering different problems over time with your home’s furnace, you may be starting to wonder if it is time to replace it. However, short of your furnace ceasing to warm your home, it can be difficult to determine when the right time is to replace it. Here are a few signs it may be time to replace your home’s furnace:
Age
Like any major home appliance, as furnaces age, they decline in functionality. Most furnaces usually have a lifespan of around twenty years. Anything greater than that is considered fantastic, but when your furnace begins near twenty years of age, it is usually time to start looking for a replacement.
Continuously Rising Energy Bills
Otherwise unexplainable and continuously rising energy bills are often the result of a furnace’s declining efficiency. This can be addressed with periodic repairs and maintenance, but is unlikely to ever be completely rectified as your furnace continues to age.
Frequent Repairs Required
No matter the major or minor appliance in your home, we know that a unit that needs frequent repairs is not a good sign for the remaining lifespan of the unit. As your furnace ages and more repairs are needed, a replacement should begin to be considered by the homeowner.
No Sound While in Operation
Most furnaces should make a consistent whirring sound in the background of your home while in operation. Banging or rattling noises coming from your furnace are signs that it needs to be repaired. However, a furnace that is silent while it’s supposed to be running is usually a sign of a furnace on its very last legs.
Visible Cracks or Rust
If your home’s furnace has visible cracks or rust on the unit, that is a telltale sign that the time has come to consider a replacement furnace for your home’s heating solution. Those cracks and rust can lead to corrosion and other issues that will severely deter your furnace’s operation.
