Signs You Need a New Furnace

Signs You Need a New Furnace


Is your furnace acting up? Although a simple repair will solve most heating problems, there are some common telltale signs that it's time for a furnace replacement in Fort Collins, CO. 


Your House Doesn't Get Warm Enough 

If your house never seems to get warm enough — no matter what temperature you set the thermostat — it's time to call in the professionals to take a closer look. Inadequate or uneven heating may be the result of an aging and inefficient system that can no longer meet your family's needs. 


Your Furnace Makes Strange Noises 

It's normal to hear your furnace turn on and off or make a low humming while operating. But if your furnace starts making any loud banging, rattling, screeching, or grinding, there is likely a major mechanical issue. Shut off your system immediately and call your local HVAC expert. 


Your Energy Bills Are Rising 

If your energy bills are making big jumps every month, an inefficient heating system could be to blame. As your furnace gets older, it gradually loses efficiency and consumes more power. 


Replacing an energy-sucking furnace is not only good for your wallet, but it's good for the environment, too. 


Your Furnace Is More than 15 Years Old 

Most furnaces — even very well-maintained ones — only last for 15 to 20 years. After that point, they become too inefficient to keep around and require more frequent repairs. 


If your furnace breaks down and is more than 15 years old, it may make more sense to go ahead and replace it instead of continuing to repair it just to replace it in a couple of years anyway.
