As winter approaches in Seattle, ensuring that your furnace is in good working order is crucial. Sometimes, repairs are not enough, and replacement becomes necessary. Here are five signs that it is time to consider replacing your furnace.
Frequent Repairs
If you call for furnace repairs more often than usual, this is a sign that your furnace is nearing the end of its useful life. Frequent breakdowns are inconvenient and financially draining in the long run.
Increasing Energy Bills
An unexpected increase in your energy bills can show that your furnace is losing efficiency. Older units must work harder to produce the same heat, using more energy and costing you more money.
Inconsistent Heating
If some rooms in your home are too hot while others are too cold, it is a sign of an aging furnace that can no longer distribute air properly throughout your home.
Strange Noises or Smells
Unusual noises, like banging, popping, rattling, or strange smells from your furnace, are warning signs. These show serious problems that need immediate attention and potential replacement.
Age of the Furnace
The average lifespan of a furnace is around 15 to 20 years. If yours is within this range or older, it’s wise to start considering a replacement, especially if you’re experiencing other issues.
