When a furnace is nearing the end of its life, it tends to work overtime in an attempt to provide the heating demands of your home. As your unit ages, it loses its efficiency, especially if it has not been regularly maintained by a professional. A poorly functioning furnace can cause a lot of inconveniences to you and your family.
If anyone in your family suffers from allergies caused by airborne dust, dirt, pollen, mold or viruses, it means that you have a poor indoor air quality. Old furnaces are unable to humidify and clean the air to your home which not just triggers allergies but also affects other body organs such as the throat, nose and even the lungs.
Also, older furnaces can develop cracks in the heat exchanger. This results in the discharge of carbon monoxide, a potentially fatal gas. That is why pros recommend having working carbon monoxide detectors in your home. If there has been a leak of this dangerous gas in your home, you will show symptoms like headaches, nausea, confusion, irritation of the skin and eyes, and other signs of illness. Opening your windows can help air out your home but it is important to call a heating technician immediately to seal up the leaks and make the necessary repairs.
In addition, if you notice a steady rise in your heating costs and if your unit has been in need of constant repairs, you may want to consider getting a new furnace.
