A furnace provides our homes with heat and keeps the home warm and comfortable. Over time a furnace will wear down and even need its components replaced to keep the unit running. There will come a time where the furnace will reach the end of its life and you will need to have your furnace replaced. It is never an easy decision to replace a furnace and most homeowners will want to make sure that their furnace needs to be replaced.

How Do You Know if Your Furnace is Bad?
As stated, it is never easy to make that final decision to replace your furnace. A furnace replacement is a major investment. It makes sense that you want to be sure that the furnace needs to be replaced instead of repaired. You may be able to repair the furnace and have the unit easily run another five years or more. However, there are certain situations that will require that you replace your furnace. It helps to have the furnace thoroughly inspected by a licensed HVAC technician and ask them to make a full report. The inspection can reveal the condition of the furnace and help you make the final decision. However, there are certain factors that often demand a furnace replacement. They are:
• Age of Unit: A furnace with proper maintenance will last between fifteen to thirty years depending on the quality of the unit. If your furnace is fifteen years or older, the furnace may have worn down and reached the end of its life.
• Frequent Heating Repairs: It is always a good idea to keep track of the list of furnace repairs you have invested in. You can see how much you have been spending simply by keeping the furnace running. If you have had a lot of major repairs that you have poured money into the furnace, that often is a good place to stop and put your money toward a new furnace. When there is expensive and frequent repairs, replace the furnace.
