Nothing lasts forever, including your furnace. Eventually, you will need to replace your old, outdated furnace with a new, high-efficiency model. We understand that this can seem like a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be when you hire the right professionals to guide you through the replacement process.
Often, homeowners are unaware that their furnace needs to be replaced, so they continue to run their existing system. However, failure to replace an old system can leave you with some pretty costly repair and utility bills. If after reading this blog you find yourself in the market for a new furnace, trust a professional to correctly install your new system so you can enjoy your newfound comfort for the remainder of the winter season! Below, we have listed some of the tell-tale signs that it’s time for a new furnace.
Age
As the saying goes, “It’s better to be safe than sorry,” which is especially true when it comes time to decide whether or not to replace your furnace. Typically, a furnace is meant to last for about 10-15 years. If your furnace has passed this age range, it is likely to start developing a whole slew of technical issues, which can be costly to repair, or worse, be a risk to your health and safety.
Constant Repairs
Not all furnace repair in Clovis, CA is a cause for concern. In fact, the need for repair is inevitable, as even the most efficient systems will need to be repaired at some point or another. However, if you have found yourself in the position of calling for repair services multiple times per year, it might be time to replace your furnace. Repair bills can end up costing you and your family a lot of money over time, so replacing your system might be a worthwhile investment. Rather than put your money towards costly bills, invest in something that is going to last for many years ahead.
Costly Utility Bills
One thing we always tell our customers to do is keep an eye on their utility bills. Paying more and more each month is a good indicator that your system is experiencing some sort of problem or that it has become inefficient. A rapid rise in operating costs is often due to accumulated wear and tear on the furnace, causing it to lose efficiency and operate for longer to affect the same temperature changes. If your system is completely worn out, replacing it might just be the best way to fix it.
Call in a Professional
If you suspect that it is time to replace your furnace, call a professional. Only an experienced technician can assess the condition of your current furnace and advise you on what to do next. Once it is decided that you should replace your system, a professional can properly size and install your new furnace so that it runs efficiently and effectively. Our dedicated team of experienced technicians at California Indoor Comfort can help you throughout every step of the process.
