When should I replace my furnace?

You should replace your furnace when:

  • Your energy bills are increasing
  • You are not getting adequate heat from your furnace
  • Your furnace makes unusual noises
  • You have to constantly adjust the thermostat

When the cost to repair your furnace outweighs the cost to replace it, then it is time for you to replace your furnace. On average, furnace repairs are more costly in the last two years before replacement.

Why does my heater makes unusual noises?

When a heater makes unusual noises such as popping, rattling or banging, it can be an indicator that the furnace is nearing the end of its service life. If the blower is running constantly or the air is cold rather than hot, it may be time for a heater replacement.
