Choosing the Right Furnace for Your Home

When it comes to selecting a new furnace, several factors need to be considered to ensure you choose the best option for your home. First, the size of your living space plays a crucial role. A furnace that is too small won't provide adequate heat, while one that is too large can be inefficient and costly to operate. Our technicians will carefully assess your home's square footage to determine the appropriate furnace size.

Another important factor is your desired level of energy efficiency. Modern furnaces are more energy-efficient than ever before, which can translate to significant savings on your heating bills. Look for furnaces with high AFUE ratings, which indicate the percentage of fuel that is converted into heat. Additionally, consider features like programmable thermostats and smart home integration, which can help you optimize your energy consumption.

Finally, don't forget about your budget. While energy-efficient furnaces may have a higher upfront cost, they can often pay for themselves over time through lower utility bills. Our team can help you find a furnace that fits within your budget without compromising on quality or performance.

How Long Does a Furnace Last on Average?

Although different brands and models have slightly varied life expectancies, in general, furnaces will last from 15 to 30 years. Gas furnaces usually have a shorter lifespan, lasting around 15 years, while electric furnaces generally endure longer at about 20 to 30 years. Although they may still be operational, units may lose energy efficiency at about 15 years.

If your unit is over 15 years old, we can have one of our technicians examine it to let you know the realistic pros and cons of repairs versus replacement based on the condition of your equipment and your objectives.

Signs You Need to Replace Your Furnace

Is your furnace starting to show its age? Here are some common signs that it may be time for a replacement:

• Frequent breakdowns: If your furnace is constantly breaking down or requiring frequent repairs, it may be more cost-effective to invest in a new one.
• High energy bills: If your heating bills have been increasing significantly, it could be a sign that your furnace is becoming less efficient.
• Uneven heating: If you notice that certain rooms in your home are warmer or colder than others, it might indicate a problem with your furnace's distribution system.
• Strange noises: Unusual noises like banging, rattling, or squealing can be indicative of a furnace malfunction.
• Carbon monoxide leaks: Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can be deadly. If you suspect a carbon monoxide leak, it's crucial to have your furnace inspected immediately.

If you're experiencing any of these signs, it's best to have your furnace evaluated by a professional. Our technicians can diagnose the problem and recommend the appropriate course of action, whether it's a simple repair or a complete replacement.
