Your furnace keeps your home comfortable and helps maintain good indoor air quality. When it malfunctions, you must contact professionals immediately. Depending on the issue you’re dealing with, you might need to have your equipment repaired or replaced. Use these tips to determine the best solution for your furnace.
A furnace can last between 15 to 20 years with proper installation and maintenance. If your unit is nearly two decades old, replacing it might be the wiser choice. Many modern furnaces offer better performance and energy efficiency than older models. While getting a new unit costs more upfront, it can help you save more money on repair and energy costs in the long run.
Are you hearing squealing, banging, screeching or popping sounds from your furnace? Odd noises are a common indication of an overheating system. This issue is common in older furnaces and is typically a sign it’s time for replacement. On the other hand, newer units could produce loud or distracting noises due to dirt accumulation. HVAC professionals can clean the system to address the problem.
Is your furnace breaking down frequently? If so, it could be nearing the end of its life. A replacement is usually more economical if the repair cost is more than 50% of the cost of a new furnace. Instead of spending money on constant repairs, investing in a new, reliable unit may provide better value and more peace of mind.
