Coming in Hot: Here are the Top 4 Signs That It’s Time To Replace Your Furnace


signs that it’s time to replace your furnaceYour furnace is there to keep you and your loved ones comfortably warm in the winter, but when it stops doing its job, it can be hard to know when it needs a repair or when it needs to be replaced. Here at Raynor Services, we know that in the heat of the moment, getting your furnace repaired seems like the best solution — after all, you just want your home to be comfortable! But that isn’t always the case, and the heating experts at Raynor Services are here with the four signs that it’s time to replace your furnace altogether.

When It Comes to Old Age, It’s Getting Warmer

The lifespan of most furnaces ranges from 15-20 years, and if yours is getting closer to that 15-year mark, it may be time to replace it. With that being said, it may not always be easy to know how old your system is (i.e. your furnace was in your home when you moved in). If this is the case, try searching for the model name and number online (both of these can be found on your furnace). If it is between 15-20 years of age, then replacing it is the smarter, more financially sound option.

Your Rising Energy Bills are Making You Sweat

When a furnace needs to be replaced, it starts to no longer work properly and efficiently. Because of this, it has to work harder to produce the amount of heat you’re used to, which you will begin to see in your energy bills. More energy spent producing heat means more money spent every month. If you’ve been noticing that your energy bills are abnormally high, don’t wait another month — contact an HVAC professional to schedule a furnace installation appointment immediately.

The Frequency of Repairs Is Heating Up

Although routine furnace maintenance is crucial for keeping your system healthy and running efficiently, constantly repairing it is not normal, and when this happens, it means it’s time to replace it. Rather than wasting money on repair after repair, investing money in a new furnace will save you money in the long run. Plus, a new, more efficient system will most likely provide you with even better heating, so you can live even cozier in your home.

It’s Turning Up the Heat…But Not In a Good, Consistent Way

If you walk into one of the rooms in your home and feel that it’s uncomfortably hot or cold, then it’s time to replace your furnace. Inconsistent heating is a vital sign that your furnace is on it’s way out. Sure, you want your home to be warm, but you also don’t want to feel like you’re sweating — and you definitely don’t want to be shivering! So if you’ve been experiencing inconsistent heat in your home, make a furnace replacement appointment today!
