We rely on our central heating systems to keep us comfortable in the colder months, though the people in Houston, Texas, usually experience milder winters compared to many others. The system fails and will require replacing, like most things, over time and use. You want to be sure to invest in quality products and a skilled HVAC contractor, such as Absolute Plumbing & Mechanical when it does require replacing. Unfortunately, replacement takes are often a surprise since most homeowners can’t recognize the signs that their heating system is on the downhill spiral of its lifespan. Today, the symptoms of a permanently failing heating system is what we would like to share today.
Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Heating System
1) Your heater is over 15 years. It is likely older if you are unaware of how old your heating system. You will benefit from replacing it with a newer model. depending on the care it received in its lifetime and the quality it is, furnaces tend to last about 18 years, however, anything after 10 years old and the efficiency continues to dwindle. Boilers last similarly as long as furnaces. 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 in your heating bills. When the systems lose their efficiency, heating systems must work harder to keep the home at a designated temperature. During this time of year, even though your home is not any warmer than you normally have it, the higher heating bills are typically the result. A professional is better to assist you to help you determine if a new furnace or boiler will help you reduce your heating.
3) In a short time frame, there is excessive furnace or boiler repairs. Though a heating repair company can help you maintain a comfortable and inviting home as well as the occasional repair, the experts should not be coming to see you too often. 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 after repair in addition to ensuring you enjoy the comfort of your home again.
4) Thermostat is not operating properly. The thermostat is connected to your home’s heating system. If it is not working properly, you will not be able to make your home warmer when it gets cold outside. In order to get the temperature you want, there is something wrong with your heating system if you are having to adjust your thermostat constantly. A heating replacement might be the solution in this case to allow you to have a reliable thermostat.
