Throughout your heater’s life, you may encounter minor repairs that need to be made. However, these repairs can make it hard to recognize when your system is failing. That’s why you should be aware of the following symptoms that indicate a replacement is near.
By far, the number one factor that affects your heater replacement is how old the system is. If you inherited your heating system with the purchase of your home, check the unit for a sticker or plate for the installation date.
Heaters are designed to last upwards of 10 years — and they have the potential to surpass average lifespan estimates with good care and furnace maintenance over the years.
However, after your system reaches 10 years old, it’s far more likely that you will see more signs of inefficiency and deterioration.
If you notice problems, our team can help you assess the best solution for your unit.
Consistent repairs are a common sign that your heater is wearing down. As time passes, seals, ball bearings and other components reach their limit.
If you have to make several heater repairs in a short amount of time, consider how cost-effective continued repairs are. It may be better to invest in a replacement that will perform flawlessly for years.
You may think that suffering through the inconveniences of heater failure gives you more time before replacement, but at what cost? Does your heater provide enough warmth? Does it make disruptive sounds or emit odors? These are signs of looming system failure that you shouldn’t ignore.
Plus, you deserve to have dependable heating in your home! When those chilly nights come around, you’ll want heat at your fingertips and less stress about whether your system will work.
As heaters and furnaces age, it’s well known that their efficiency decreases rapidly. This means that your unit has to use more energy to provide the same level of warmth to your home.
