Like any major home appliance, as furnaces age, they decline in functionality. Most furnaces have a lifespan of around 20 years. Anything greater than that is considered fantastic, but when your furnace begins nearing 20 years of age, it’s usually time to start looking for a replacement.
Otherwise unexplainable and continuously rising energy bills are often the result of a declining furnace system. Fortunately, this can be addressed with periodic repairs and maintenance, but is unlikely to ever completely resolve the issue as your furnace continues to age.
Like most appliances in your home, if your furnace needs frequent repairs, it’s usually not a good sign for its overall health. As your furnace ages and requires more repairs, it’s time to think about a total replacement.
Your furnace should make a consistent whirring sound in the background of your home while in operation. Banging or rattling noises on the other hand, are a clear indication that your furnace needs to be repaired. However, if your system has fallen completely silent while running, this typically means it’s on its last legs.
If your home’s furnace has visible cracks or rust on it, that is a telltale sign that the time has come to replace it entirely. Cracks and rust can lead to corrosion and other issues that will severely deteriorate your furnace system.
You should consider replacing your furnace if it is over 15 to 20 years old, has frequent breakdowns, or is causing a noticeable increase in your energy bills. An Air Conditioning Specialist Inc. HVAC technician can also assess if replacement is a better option than a repair.
Spring is an ideal time for furnace installation or replacement because our team is typically less busy, leading to faster service and potentially better scheduling flexibility. Additionally, you won’t need to rely on heat during this season, making it a convenient time for the replacement process.
Typically, furnace installation or replacement takes between four to eight hours, depending on the complexity of the job and any additional work required, such as ductwork or thermostat upgrades. Your Air Conditioning Specialist Inc. technician can provide you with an accurate timeline after inspecting your furnace.
When selecting a new furnace, consider factors like energy efficiency, size and capacity, fuel type, and compatibility with your home’s existing HVAC system. Consulting with our pros will help you make the best choice for your heating needs this spring season!
Yes, upgrading to a modern, energy-efficient furnace can significantly reduce your energy consumption and lower your utility bills. Newer models often come with advanced features that optimize performance and save energy.
