When Should I Replace My Heating System?
Properly installed furnaces and heat pumps could last a decade or more when regularly serviced by a trained HVAC technician. Eventually, even properly cared for heating equipment will begin to break down. If you wait too long to replace it, you may end up spending more money on repairs for a heating system that is past its prime. Here are some things to watch out for to help you know whether your Chesapeake home's heating equipment needs replaced:
Equipment is More Than 15 Years Old
Just because your furnace is working doesn’t mean you should hold onto it indefinitely. An older furnace or boiler may be running at as little as half its original efficiency. By replacing it with a new, high efficiency system, you will feel more comfortable in your home and worry less about no heat emergencies.
Heating Performance is Dropping Off
Eventually, your furnace won’t be able to heat your home they way it should, even after system maintenance or professional heating repairs. In this case, replacement could be your best (or perhaps only) option.
Heating Bills are Increasing
A key indication that efficiency of your heating system is failing is in the form of higher utility bills. When you start to notice you're paying more for gas or electric in the winter months, it might be your heating system to blame.
Repeat Heating Repair Calls
Repeat calls for heating repairs usually indicates a fundamental problem that could be costly or even impossible to fix. Our team can walk your through all the options available to help you make an informed decision whether to repair your existing system, or heating replacement is necessary.
Choosing the Right Furnace in Chesapeake
Your home’s energy costs are a big investment, and to help you save, we may recommend high-efficiency equipment such as zoning control or programmable thermostats. These additions can help save you money each month on your energy bills, and they may even be applicable for tax credits or utility rebates! In many cases, investing in a high-efficiency system now will pay off in the utility savings over the life of the equipment.
Furthermore, if your home has moisture control or air quality issues, or if anyone in your family suffers from respiratory issues, dry scalp and skin, or allergies, our heating contractors may suggest items such as air filters, humidifiers, or others. These features do not have a high cost, and they may provide incredible benefits to your family and may improve the conditions in your home.
Keeping Your New Furnace Running Strong
A good furnace can last you a long time if you treat it right and keep up with regular maintenance and routine repairs. On top of providing furnace installation, we also offer tune-ups, checking pieces like air ducts and filters to make sure your HVAC system is working well and won't leave you freezing in the middle of winter.
