There are several signs that it may be time to install a new furnace:
Age: If your furnace is over 15 years old, it may be time to consider replacing it. As furnaces age, they become less efficient and may require more frequent repairs.
Repairs: If you’ve had to repair your furnace multiple times in the past year, it may be more cost-effective to replace it rather than continuing to make repairs.
Increased energy bills: If you’ve noticed a significant increase in your energy bills and your furnace seems to be running constantly, it may be time to replace it with a more efficient model.
Inefficient heating: If your furnace is not adequately heating your home or if you have hot and cold spots, it may be time to replace it.
Strange noises: If your furnace is making strange noises, such as banging, popping, or squealing, it may be a sign of a problem that could be addressed by replacing the furnace.
It’s important to note that replacing a furnace is a significant financial investment, so it’s important to weigh the costs and benefits carefully. A qualified heating and cooling contractor can help you determine if it’s time to replace your furnace and provide you with estimates for the cost of a new furnace and installation.
