When Should You Replace Your Furnace?

December 30, 2014

Your furnace works nonstop during the colder months of the year. This demanding workload often causes older furnaces to fail on some of the coldest days of the year in Northglenn. You may not even realize it could happen until you come home to a freezing house one day. Then you’re in disaster mode, and that’s not the greatest place to be. The Northglenn Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc. team can help. We’ve pulled together this list of symptoms that your furnace may be displaying that will let you know it should probably be replaced.

Some rooms are colder than others

If your rooms aren’t heating evenly, your furnace may be reaching the end of its lifespan. Sometimes this problem can be solved by confirming that your ductwork is properly sealed. Properly sealing your ducts can not only keep your home evenly heated, but it can save your furnace from working harder than it needs to. You could save your furnace and save some money with better energy efficiency.

Your furnace is noisy

Always have a noisy furnace checked out by the pros at Northglenn Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc.. Some people discover that their system is actually too small for their home, which can cause it to switch on and off more often. And rattling sounds could mean inner pieces aren’t functioning as they should be.

Too many repairs

It’s no secret that older furnaces often fail, and before that happens they become less and less energy efficient. If you find you’re calling for furnace repair frequently, it’s time to think about a new system. Delaying a new purchase could end up costing you more money in the long run.

The average life expectancy of a furnace or boiler is about 15 years. So, if your system is getting older, it could be to you advantage to get a new, efficient and quiet system.
