Is It Time to Replace My Furnace?

Fall is here and that means soon enough we will have to start turning on our furnaces. This is the time of year that people are wondering how their furnace will hold up. Bartlett Heating and Air recommends you get an annual furnace clean and check this time of year because it cleans it and tunes it letting you know of any potential issue you might have so they can be fixed before its too cold out. After you get a clean and check the technician will let you know if yours is holding up or if you need to replace it. After a unit is about 15 years old it starts to decline in efficiency and break more often. This costs you more money having to fix it and also equals higher energy bills. Is the furnace breaking down constantly? Your frequent repairs will add up and cost you more in the long run than replacing your furnace. You will save money in the long run getting a new unit because todays furnaces are so much more energy efficient so its better for the environment. If some rooms are heating adequately but others are ice cold then you should consider replacing. You will have more even heating because the new unit won’t struggle to heat evenly. If you have humidity issues a new furnace can solve that! Due to improper repairs, your furnace may cause the air to be too dry during the winter. Is your furnace making new weird noises? While some noise is normal, there are many that indicate there may be a problem or it is time to replace. If you get a programmable thermostat with the new furnace you will save even more on your energy bills. Nicor is even offering a rebate for people who purchase a 95% furnace.
