When your heating system starts exhibiting signs of mechanical or electrical problems, it can be difficult to determine whether you simply need a heating repair or if it’s time for a full replacement. Below we’ve listed some of the common signs that your heating system or furnace has reached the end of its service life and needs to be replaced.

• • Advanced age. Most furnaces are built to last up to 15 years, and once they get close to this age they begin to have problems more frequently. At this point, it’s advisable to invest in a new furnace instead of pouring more money into heating repairs. A furnace replacement can save you the trouble of dealing with an old unit that will continue to malfunction due to years of wear and tear.

• • Frequent or extensive repairs. If your current furnace needs repair work nearly equivalent to the cost of a replacement, then it makes more sense to purchase the new one.

• • Poor energy efficiency. A furnace that heats your home inefficiently needs a replacement. Inefficient furnaces can make your utility costs soar and force you to pay more than necessary throughout the year. Those higher utility bills add up quickly and make a newer model a sensible option. New heating systems are improved and designed with energy efficiency in mind, so they’ll work better and save you money in the long run.

At All Star Plumbing and Air, our goal is to make every heating replacement easy and affordable for our customers.
