Furnace Replacement: How To End Uneasiness Associated With The Decision With 7 Signs It’s Time To Replace

Furnace Replacement: How To End Uneasiness Associated With The Decision With 7 Signs It's Time To ReplaceThe decision to buy a new furnace is one of the biggest expenditures that most homeowners will face. There are a number of things to consider as you contemplate such a purchase, and it is wise to examine all of the factors because the future safety and comfort of your family depends on it.

Here are seven signs that it is time to consider furnace replacement.

  • Your current furnace is more than 10 years old.
  • Energy bills are busting your budget.
  • Furnace is making strange noises.
  • Carbon monoxide has been detected.
  • Your HVAC system is in need of expensive repairs.
  • Dry conditions in your home.
  • Excessive humidity in your house.

If any one of the above statements are true then you want to move toward furnace replacement as soon as possible. If two or more are true, act today.

The most important consideration in replacing a furnace should be the safety of your family. The threat of carbon monoxide poisoning is nothing to take a chance with, so if the gas has been detected or there is a crack in your heat exchanger replace the furnace. By the same token, excessive humidity or extremely dry conditions can also pose threats and the condition of your furnace could be responsible.

Another reason for furnace replacement is to save money. The new furnaces operate much more efficiently than older models and will cut your energy bill. The Department of Energy recommends than any furnace over 15 years old be replaced even if it is in good working order.
