Sadly, no furnace will last forever. As much as we hope it would it will only last for so long before it starts to have major breakdowns and need to be replaced. Air Supply Heating & Air Conditioning will go over what some of the signs are so you know if it is time that you need to start looking into a furnace replacement.

Continuing to Need Heating Repairs

Some of the first signs you may notice that it is time for a new furnace is that you are constantly needing to get repairs. The older your furnace gets the more repairs you may need to have for your furnace to run properly. A furnace will only last about 15 to 20 years depending on how well you take care of it. If you were paying $600 or more on repair costs with an old furnace it may not be worth keeping your furnace. A good rule to follow is once the cost of the repair has reached half the cost of a new furnace it may be smarter to replace it than continue fixing it.

High Energy Bills

With an older furnace and one that is not running properly, you may notice that your energy bills have gotten higher over the years. You may also have noticed that you had a large spike recently in your bills. This could be because there is a big problem happening with your furnace without you even noticing. But if you have just noticed your energy bills have increased over the past few years this can be because your furnace is 10 to 15 years old and is not as efficient as the furnaces are today. Replacing your furnace with an energy-efficient one can lower your energy bills.

Furnace Making Strange Noises

When your furnace gets older it will not work as well as it once did. You may start to hear noises like banging, grinding, and popping. Even though some of these sounds you may think you can ignore and live with it, you probably shouldn’t try. If sounds are coming from your furnace that means something is wrong. If you are hearing a new noise, one that has not been checked out then you need to call a professional and see if it can be fixed or if it is time for a new furnace.

Short Cycling Furnace

If your furnace is turning on and off quickly or more frequently this is called short cycling. It means the cycle patterns are off and something is wrong with your furnace. This could also mean that some parts are failing and other parts have to start working harder to continue to get your furnace to work. You need to call a professional and have them come look at your furnace if this is happening. It may be time that you need a new one.

Hot & Cold Spots in House

You may notice that you have hot and cold spots in your home. This could happen when the sun is directly shining into a room and the way the windows are. But if this is happening because of your furnace and it is not distributing the correct amount of air throughout the whole house then this means something is wrong. Once again you need to call a professional to come to take a look. Getting a new furnace may be the best solution for this problem.
