Your heating system will fail, and it will require replacing, over time and use, like most things. You want to be sure to invest in quality products and a skilled HVAC contractor, such as New York HVAC when it does require replacing. Replacements are often a surprise, unfortunately, since most homeowners can’t recognize the signs that their heating system is on the downhill spiral of its lifespan. Today, to help you prepare for the inevitable, we at New York HVAC would like to discuss signs that your heating system is going to need replacing.
Signs You Need Heating System Replacement
1) The heating system is 15 years old or more. It is likely on the older side if you are unaware of how old your heating system. It will be highly beneficial and in your better interest to replace an old unit with a modern, more efficient system. Anything after 10 years old will continue to dwindle its efficiency but depending on the care it received in its lifetime and the quality it is, furnaces and most boilers, tend to last about 18 years. If in the event your home’s current furnace or boiler is nearing 10 years in age, now may be a good time to invest in a new model.
2) Unexplained spikes with utility bills. To keep the home at a designated temperature when the systems lose their efficiency, heating systems must work harder. During this time of year, the higher heating bills are typically the result, even though your home is not any warmer than you normally have it. A professional is better to assist you to help you determine if a new furnace or boiler will help you reduce your heating.
3) Continuous repairs in a short span. A heating repair company can help you maintain a comfortable and inviting home as well as the occasional repair and seeing technicians on a routine basis is an indication the system is failing. If you are calling for heater repair multiple times a year, you can benefit from a new heating system. Buying new heater will end up costing less than scheduling repair, in addition to ensuring you enjoy the comfort of your home again.
4) Heating system is unresponsive to the thermostat. The thermostat is connected to your home’s heating system.
When it gets cold outside if it is not working properly, you will not be able to make your home warmer. If you are having to adjust your thermostat constantly in order to get the temperature you want, there is something wrong with your heating system. A heating replacement might be the solution in this case to allow you to have a reliable thermostat.
