AGE
Much like people, furnaces start to get fussy when they reach their teenage years. Around 10 to 13 years old, furnaces start demanding a whole lot more in order to work the way they once did. They may be causing higher energy bills or requiring more frequent repairs. Even if it seems to run all right from day to day, an imminent breakdown is likely on the horizon.
HIGH ENERGY COSTS
The high cost of heating your home could be caused by more than just rising energy costs. Your outdated furnace could also be to blame. Newer furnaces are about 15 percent more efficient than baseline models sold today. That means a new system could easily save you 20 percent or more when compared to your aging furnace with a lower efficiency rating. Plus, an older model probably isn’t running at its peak efficiency anyway, meaning the energy savings could be even greater once you replace your furnace.
MORE FREQUENT REPAIRS
Think back over the past two heating seasons. In addition to preventative maintenance, how many repairs did the furnace require? If you’re tired of putting money into keeping an aging system alive, it could certainly be time to replace your furnace.
A furnace might not be worth keeping if a repair approaches 50 percent of its value. Even if the repair cost isn’t quite that daunting, it’s time to replace your furnace if the system is more than 12 years old, has a history of problems and has recently presented you with yet another issue.
COMFORT PROBLEMS
Older systems often lose the ability to effectively heat your home as they age. Leaky ducts may be partly to blame, but the furnace could also simply be wearing out. When you replace your furnace, look for an advanced model with technologies that improve steady heating, provide better airflow and increase efficiency all at the same time.
Compromised indoor air quality
Since the furnace repair Desplaines is responsible for pumping air around your home, you trust it to supply each room with clean air. Unfortunately, older systems may have mold and mildew growing in them that have developed over the years. They could also be pumping air through dirty ducts that need a good cleaning.
With all these points in mind, it could be very clear to you that now is the right time to replace your furnace. Contact Weather Control Heating and Cooling. Our knowledgeable professionals are here to give you the best advice possible. 847-815-9744
