How Do I Know If I Need A New Furnace?

Normally furnaces last 15-20 years. Various factors can impact how long they last. If the unit is not the right size for your home it might not last as long. For instance if it’s too large and runs short cycles this can strain the furnace components causing them to work harder.

Poor installation or construction can also affect your furnace’s lifespan – for example, bad ductwork can negatively impact airflow. If you haven’t been maintaining your furnace by getting annual check-ups, or if the unit isn’t placed in the right area of your house such as somewhere with a lot of moisture, problems can arise that can cause inefficient operation and require frequent repairs.

Signs of a Failing Furnace

If you’re uncertain about whether your furnace needs replacing watch out for signs. Some issues may only require repairs. Deciding whether a quick repair will do the trick or if a complete replacement is necessary can be challenging without help.

• Sounds – Hearing banging or rattling noises might mean components or a malfunctioning motor. It could also indicate a cracked heat exchanger, which could lead to carbon monoxide leaks if not fixed promptly.
• Difficulty starting – When your furnace has trouble turning on it could point to problems, with the ignition system or a faulty thermostat.
• Cold air – A functioning furnace should emit warm air. If it’s not you may be facing problems with the heating element or a damaged ignition.
• Higher energy bills – Sudden spikes in energy costs are flags that something’s amiss with your furnace. It indicates poor operation and is likely caused by factors such as bad insulation or wear and tear.
• Weird smells – Burning smells or other odors can indicate a problem with your furnace – get it checked out quickly to avoid potential breakdowns.
• Uneven room temperatures – The furnace should effectively distribute heat throughout all areas. If you notice temperature differences between rooms it could be due to a blocked air filter or problems with the ductwork.
• Looks old – Even if you notice your furnace looking dated and worn out it may be time for a replacement. Keep in mind the rule of thumb for furnace lifespans (15-20 years) – being proactive may help you avoid costly repairs and maintain optimal heating in your home.
