Furnace Installation & Replacement

4 Signs Your Furnace Needs To Be Replaced

Your furnace plays a crucial role in keeping your home warm and comfortable during the colder months. However, like any other appliance, it will eventually wear out and need to be replaced. Not sure if it’s time to consider replacement? Here are four signs that it's time to call our team at Greenway Mechanical for a consultation:

• Age: Furnaces typically have a lifespan of around 15-20 years. If your furnace is approaching or exceeding this age, it may be more cost-effective to replace it rather than continuing to repair it. Older furnaces are also generally less energy-efficient, so upgrading to a newer model can help you save on your energy bills.
• Frequent repairs: If you find yourself constantly calling for furnace repairs, it may be a sign that your furnace is nearing the end of its lifespan. As furnaces age, they become more prone to breakdowns and require more frequent repairs. In these cases, investing in a new furnace can save you money in the long run by avoiding costly repair bills.
• Rising energy bills: If you've noticed a significant increase in your energy bills despite normal usage, it could be a sign that your furnace is no longer operating efficiently. Older furnaces have lower energy efficiency ratings compared to newer models, meaning they use more energy to produce the same amount of heat. Upgrading to a high-efficiency furnace can help lower your energy bills and improve overall comfort.
• Uneven heating: If you're experiencing inconsistent heating throughout your home or certain rooms are noticeably colder than others, it may be due to a failing furnace. This could be caused by issues such as ductwork problems or an aging furnace that can no longer distribute heat evenly. Replacing your furnace can help resolve these issues and provide consistent heating throughout your home.
