Nobody wants to incur the expense of a new furnace, but it’s inevitable. With routine maintenance, the average furnace will last up to 15 years. But if it has not been maintained regularly over the years, the furnace might last less than 10 years. Here’s what to look for to see if the time is near to replace your furnace:

If you notice that your utility bills have been progressively increasing, it could be due to inefficiency in your furnace. Aside from higher energy costs, an inefficient furnace may struggle to keep your home warm, or there may be cold spots around your house. 

There comes a point when a furnace becomes more expensive to keep repairing and operating inefficiently than to replace it with a new unit. If your furnace is constantly in need of repairs or is more than 15 years old, it’s probably best to consider purchasing a new unit.

Another sign your furnace needs to be replaced is a carbon monoxide leak, which is typically marked by heavy condensation on your windows, or soot accumulation around your furnace. Make sure you have a carbon monoxide detector installed near your furnace to alert you if there is a leak. If you ever hear it go off, be sure to evacuate your home immediately. Once a leak has developed, your furnace is no longer safe to use and will need to be replaced. 

When the time comes for you to buy a new furnace, trust the professionals at Heartland Heating, Air and Plumbing for certified technicians, expert service, quality components, and fair pricing.

There are many benefits to replacing your furnace completely instead of continuing repairs. Below are some of the most common improvements you’ll notice once you replace your furnace. 

Better Efficiency 

New furnace models are able to convert fuel into more energy than previous furnace designs, allowing them to operate efficiently during the winter months. This means you won't have to spend more money on fuel costs such as gas or electricity and can continue to have a warm home with a furnace that works as efficiently as possible. 

Save Money

Better efficiency means more affordable energy bills. You can save big on your monthly energy bills with a newer furnace. You can also save money on repairs, which can prove costly when initiated constantly due to a faulty furnace. 

Better Indoor Air Quality 

One of the most essential parts of a furnace is the air filter system that filters away dust, debris, pollen, and other pollutants from the air. Unfortunately, some homeowners might forget to clean out their air filter regularly. This can lead to an accumulation of pollutants, mold, and permanent damage to the furnace. If this has happened to your furnace, replacing it will allow you to breathe in better, cleaner air, reducing symptoms such as allergies and asthma flare-ups. 

Keep Your Family Comfortable

Perhaps the biggest benefit of getting your furnace replaced is being able to stay warm during the winter months. Colder temperatures can not only be uncomfortable, but they can also lead to more disease and more viruses and germs lingering in the home. A new furnace will help keep your home warm and all members of your family healthy during the cold seasons.
