Unfortunately, many homeowners don’t realize anything is wrong with their heating system until it’s too late and the system has completely broken down. However, by paying close attention to the unit, you can have your system replaced before it ultimately breaks down on you.

Potential signs that you should replace your furnace include:

The Furnace is 15-20 Years Old

Furnaces, like all other appliances, have a limited lifespan. These systems will typically last between 15-20 years, so replacing the unit will likely be your best option if issues occur during or after this range. Not only will this resolve any current issues, but it will also prevent future issues from occurring.

Energy Bills are Rising

Have you seen your energy bills rise in recent months, despite no changes to your heating habits? If so, your system isn’t heating your home as efficiently as it used to. This is a common occurrence as furnaces age, but keeping up with annual furnace maintenance can help to slow down any furnace efficiency issues. Contact a certified technician from Schebler in Clinton, IA, to have your system inspected and potentially replaced.

The System Needs Frequent Repairs

It’s not uncommon for furnaces to require a repair every now and then. However, if you need to repair your system seemingly every fall or winter, replacing the system now can save you money in the long run. Continuing to repair a system that needs to be replaced is simply pushing the issue away for a little while, but the root of the issue won’t be addressed until the system is completely replaced.

You Hear Loud Noises From the System 

Aside from the initial startup of your furnace, you shouldn’t hear many noises coming from your system. If you do, there are likely parts within the system that need to be replaced. Common sounds such as banging, screeching, or humming indicate that issues are present. One of the experienced technicians from Schebler can inspect your system to determine if a furnace replacement is needed.
