After many years of providing your home with warmth in a cold weather, your furnace can experience a decline in performance. If your unit is 15 years or older, it’s no longer as cost-effective as it once was. Wear and tear is a primary factor for a furnace to lose its efficiency. As your heating system gets older, it tends to break more frequently and oftentimes certain parts need to be replaced.
If you have to constantly adjust the thermostat because you feel that some rooms are warmer than others, you may need to look into getting your furnace replaced. That’s because older furnaces are unable to properly distribute the heated air throughout the home.
Old furnaces tend to work harder to provide your home with the heat it needs. This often leads to overheating and the failure of certain parts. Furnaces obtain most failures during the last two years of their lives. Another sign is when you need to wait to get a replacement part. As your furnace gets older, finding replacement parts gets considerably harder.
While a gas furnace is a great way to heat your home, your old furnace can develop cracks in the heat exchanger. Having an old unit can pose a variety of health and safety issues including carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas that causes headaches, nausea, disorientation, and irritation of the skin and eyes. When repeatedly exposed to this gas, it can cause more serious effects that can be fatal.
If you have been dealing with any of these issues, you may need to consider replacing it with a new unit.
While it’s true that a new furnace involves a higher upfront cost, but it will also be far more efficient, lowering your heating bills while keeping you and your family more comfortable during the coldest nights of winter.
