Replacing your furnace is a large investment no matter what. This is why homeowners will do whatever it takes to maintain their current furnace properly. This is the number one way to extend the life of a furnace. However, no matter how much maintenance you do, there will come a time when your furnace no longer works properly and needs to be replaced. If this is the case, there will likely be signs that can help you know when it’s time for replacement. North Country Aire is here to talk about some of the signs of furnace replacement so our customers will know when their furnace is in trouble.

Watch for These Signs Your Furnace Needs to be Replaced

Knowing when it is time to replace your furnace can be valuable. That way, you aren’t stuck without a working heater in the winter months. Here are some of the signs that you should be looking for:
– Age of Your Unit: For most homeowners, the average furnace will last between 15-20 years before it needs to be replaced. The number of years you can get out of your furnace is going to depend on the amount of maintenance you do on your unit. If your unit is over 15 years old and you’re having problems with it, you may need to consider replacing it.
– Constant Heating Repairs: You shouldn’t be experiencing endless repairs on your unit. If you have noticed that the furnace keeps breaking, it might be due to the fact that your furnace simply needs replaced rather than repaired again.
– Indoor Discomfort: The last thing that you want are spots in your home that aren’t heating properly. You shouldn’t have rooms that are colder than others. This means that you either have an issue with your heating system or you have vents that are closed in that room. If it is the first, it might be time to replace it if the repair is to extensive or the unit is older.
– Higher Energy Bills: As your furnace gets older, it will start to become less and less efficient. This can lead to higher energy bills. When your furnace isn’t efficient, you could end up paying a lot more to heat your home. Replacing the unit may cost more upfront, but you will pay that extra over time in higher energy bills as well.
– Strange Furnace Noises: Another sign that there is something wrong with your furnace is strange noises. If you hear something strange, it is always best to have things checked out by a professional HVAC company.
