You May Need a Furnace Replacement If Yours…
Needs Frequent Repairs
All furnaces need repair at some point. It’s inevitable. But if you've had more than one in the last year, that could indicate there’s a bigger problem at hand. Before you shell out for one repair after another, consider a new furnace installed by the team here at ComfortAire. It can save you the hassle of costly, ongoing problems.
Is Between 15 and 20 Years Old
The average furnace will last you anywhere between 15 and 20 years. Even if your unit functions beyond this point, it's probably losing efficiency without you even realizing. It may also be driving up your utility costs ever so slightly each month. By planning for a furnace replacement around this timeframe, you won't have to deal with these issues. You'll enjoy a manageable heating bill and no unexpected furnace surprises.
Doesn’t Heat Your Home Evenly
Do you have rooms in your house that are unusually hot or cold, no matter what temperature your thermostat is set to? There may be a faulty component inside your system—or a severe inefficiency somewhere. Opting for a furnace replacement can help restore even heating throughout your home, keeping everyone cozy and comfortable no matter where they are.
Emits Strange Odors or Noises
Unusual sounds and smells coming from your system should not be ignored. Sounds like banging, rattling, or grinding might indicate loose or damaged furnace parts. If you smell anything, whether it be a burning or musty odor, you should also take note. These could mean something is burning or there's a buildup of dust and debris within the unit.
Affects Your Air Quality
An older furnace with insufficient filtration can circulate dust, dander, and other allergens throughout your home. If you have a family member with respiratory problems, this could affect their health and comfort. A new furnace is more efficient at filtering these pollutants out of your air. This will improve indoor air quality and result in a cleaner, healthier home.
