After many years of exhaustive use, it is quite normal for most household appliances and equipment to experience a decline in efficiency or even break down completely. Your furnace is not an exception. If your existing unit has been serving you for about 15 years or more, it’s no longer as efficient as it once was. The deterioration of parts is a primary cause of a furnace to lose its efficiency. The issue is that the older your furnace is, the harder it is to find replacement parts.
Similar to an old car, an old furnace that begins to have costly repairs is telling you that it’s about to bid goodbye and needs to be replaced any time soon. Furnaces tend to require more repairs in the last two years of their life.
There are a number of clues telling you that a furnace is nearing the end of its life. If anyone in your family suffers from allergies caused by airborne dust, pollen, mold or viruses, it means that your home is suffering from poor indoor air quality. One possibility is that your old furnace is no longer able to effectively moisturize and clean your indoor air. This triggers allergies and affects other body organs such as the throat, nose and even the lungs.
Also, an old furnace is unable to evenly distribute heated air throughout your home. That is why some rooms are colder than others, so you have to turn up the temperature in those rooms to get your desired warmth.
If you notice any of these signs, thinking about replacing your furnace is not a bad idea.
