7 Signs That Indicate It’s Time For Furnace Replacement

A furnace breakdown can cause major inconvenience; therefore, one must pay attention to the early signs of a furnace replacement to avoid the problem. Here are a few signs that indicate your furnace is nearing the end of its useful life:

1. Your Furnace Is More Than A Decade Old
The average lifespan of a furnace is anywhere between 10 to 15 years. Usually, furnaces tend to show signs of decline once they are ten years old. And while furnace components tend to wear out from day one, the wear and tear rate increases once furnaces turn 10. It is because of this reason experts suggest that one should start considering a furnace replacement once it turns a decade old.

2. There’s Been An Exponential Rise in Your Heating Bills
If your heating bills have gone up during the last few months, when there’s been no major change in your energy consumption or the energy rates, then this could be an indication that you need to replace your furnace. Get your furnace checked by our heating expert to find out if the issue can be resolved with a furnace repair or if replacement is the only option.

3. Your Furnace Needs Frequent Repairs
Another common sign of a furnace replacement is that your furnace requires frequent repairs. As furnaces age, they tend to break down more often, but if your furnace repairs have gone up substantially despite regular maintenance and timely repairs, chances are that your furnace is at the end of its life.

4. You Applied The $5000 Rule
When it comes to deciding between a heating repair and replacement, experts rely on the $5000 rule.
According to this rule, one must consider replacing their furnace if the value that comes out by multiplying the age of the furnace with the repair cost exceeds $5000. For instance, if the cost of repairing a 10-year-old furnace is $600, then the multiplication value comes out to 10 x $600=$6000, so one must consider replacing the furnace.

5. Your Furnace Cannot Maintain the Required Temperature
If your furnace is unable to provide adequate service and you are experiencing cold spots in your home, then this, too, could be a sign that your furnace needs to be replaced. Ideally, the issue should not arise if you schedule regular maintenance of your furnace and especially if you have recently had your furnace repaired for the same issue.

6. Your Home’s Indoor Air Quality Has Gone Down
Do you know poor indoor air quality is one of the primary causes of various health issues among residents? Poor air quality can lead to health issues, such as colds, influenza, dizziness, and respiratory problems. If you or anyone in your family has been facing a similar issue, get your furnace fixed by a heating expert. Consider replacing the problem if the problem persists.

7. Your Furnace Is Based On An Outdated Technology
Traditional furnaces that are around 10 to 15 years old lack the features that are available in new-age furnaces. For instance, new-age furnaces are loaded with features, such as zone-wise heating and smart control. New age furnaces are far more energy efficient as compared to the old furnaces based on dated technology.
