Is it time to change out your furnace?

If you’re like most people, you probably don’t think about your furnace until it stops working. And by that time, it may be too late. Your furnace should be replaced every 10-15 years, depending on the make and model. If your furnace is older than that, it’s definitely time for a replacement.

So if your furnace isn’t working to your liking or isn’t performing as well as it used to, it’s time to consider upgrading to a newer, more efficient model.

Replacing your furnace may seem expensive, but it’s an investment that will pay off in the long run. Not only will you save money on your heating bills, but you’ll also prolong the life of your furnace. So if you’re considering a replacement, now is definitely the time to do it.

First, how old is your furnace?

If your furnace is 15 years or older, it may be time to replace your furnace. Do you have a standard 80% furnace or a high efficiency 95% furnace? That difference could be costing you $800-$1200 a year in heating costs. Every year you lose working efficiency in your system, especially if you aren’t doing yearly maintenance. Older furnaces slowly start to become less efficient and will lose its ability to distribute heat evenly throughout the upper and lower floors of your home.

Although the initial cost of a replacement furnace may seem daunting, the long-term benefits are well worth it. A new furnace will be more energy-efficient, which will save you money on your heating bills. It will also be more reliable and require less maintenance, meaning you’ll spend less time and money repairing it.  In the end, a replacement furnace will pay for itself many times over.

If you’re still on the fence about replacing your furnace, consider these benefits:

• A new furnace will be more energy-efficient, which could save you money on your heating bills.
• A new furnace will also be more reliable and last longer than an old one.
• Replacing your furnace can also improve the air quality in your home.
• And finally, a new furnace will be more comfortable to heat your home with.

Older furnaces need more maintenance in order to keep them running efficiently. This includes things like changing the air filter every month, ensuring that there is enough insulation around your home, and keeping the vents and registers clear and unblocked, and the cost of replacing worn-out or broken parts. All of this maintenance can add up, so it’s important to factor in those costs when deciding whether or not to replace your furnace.

The best way to know if it’s time for a replacement furnace is to have an annual furnace inspection. During this inspection, your technician will be able to tell you the health of your system and if it’s time for a replacement. They will also be able to tell you how much money you could be saving by replacing your system with a newer, more efficient model.

What factors should you consider when choosing a new furnace?

• Age of your current furnace
• Type of furnace you have
• Is your furnace the right size for your home
• Efficiency rating
• Heating costs
• Maintenance costs

The cost of a new furnace can vary depending on the type of furnace you choose. A standard 80% furnace will be less expensive than a high efficiency 95% furnace. However, the cost of a new furnace can also vary depending on the size of your home and the features you choose. Ultimately, the cost of a new furnace is an investment that will save you money in the long run. A new furnace will be more efficient and will cost less to operate than an older model.
