What are the signs that my furnace needs to be replaced?
There are several signs that may indicate it's time to replace your furnace. If your furnace is over 15-20 years old, it may be approaching the end of its useful life. Frequent breakdowns and the need for constant repairs are strong indicators that your furnace is no longer reliable. Additionally, if you notice a significant increase in your energy costs without a corresponding increase in usage, it may be due to an inefficient furnace. Uneven heating throughout your home, strange noises during operation, and poor air quality (such as increased dust or humidity) are also signs that your furnace might need to be replaced. Consulting with an HVAC technician can provide a more accurate assessment of your furnace’s condition. For a comprehensive furnace replacement service, Lifetime HVAC is here to help.
How can regular maintenance extend the life of my furnace?
Regular maintenance is crucial for extending the life of your furnace. During maintenance visits, our HVAC technicians perform thorough inspections and cleanings of your furnace system. This process includes checking and replacing the furnace filter, inspecting the heat exchanger for cracks, lubricating moving parts, and ensuring all electrical connections are secure. These steps help prevent minor issues from becoming major problems, reducing the risk of unexpected furnace failures. Regular maintenance also ensures that your furnace operates efficiently, which can lower your energy costs and improve indoor air quality. By addressing potential issues early, regular maintenance can significantly prolong the life of your furnace and enhance its performance. Our furnace maintenance service is designed to keep your heating equipment in optimal condition.
What should I consider when choosing a new furnace?
Choosing a new furnace involves several important considerations to ensure you get the best system for your home. First, consider the size of your home and its heating needs. A furnace that is too small will struggle to heat your home, while one that is too large will cycle on and off frequently, wasting energy. Look for high-efficiency models that have a high Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating, as these will help reduce energy costs over time. It's also important to consider the type of fuel the furnace uses—natural gas, oil, electric, or propane—and which is most cost-effective and available in your area. Additionally, consider the reputation of the brand and the warranty offered. Consulting with an experienced HVAC technician can help you navigate these factors and choose a furnace that meets your specific needs.
