Signs It’s Time For a New Heating System

Now that it’s nearly winter, you’ll be thankful to have a heating system to keep you and your family safe and warm. However, if you have noticed any major problems with your current heating system, it might be time to get a replacement. Learn about the signs that indicate your furnace is out of commission, and call the professional team at Naughton Mechanical LLC. We can get you set up with a brand new furnace before the frigid weather sets in. 

Rooms are Heated Unevenly

Heating systems are supposed to distribute the heat evenly throughout your home. In some cases, a home might be unevenly heated due to a smaller issue, such as a blocked vent. However, significant temperature ranges may indicate a larger problem. If you discover that one room is hot and the next one is cold, you likely have a major problem with your heating system. This is especially true if it takes an abnormally long time to heat certain rooms in your house. 

You Keep Repairing Your Unit

It’s common for a heating system to need repairs every once in a while. But when you find that your system is constantly breaking or having trouble, it might be time to get it replaced. Repair costs can quickly add up over time, so it would be a better investment to get a new furnace altogether. Not to mention, it’s unlikely that a problematic HVAC system is keeping you warm.

Higher Energy Bills

Climbing energy bills are never a good thing. Not only is your energy bill an additional expense for you, but it is sometimes an indication that your furnace might not be working properly. As your heating system begins to break down, it loses its efficiency and may take more energy to heat your home. On the other hand, new furnaces are engineered to use less energy, so you’ll enjoy lower energy bills.

Poor Air Quality

If you find that everything is covered in dust, or that the air is very dry, it might be because of your furnace. A properly working furnace will pull debris from the air and promote moisture. When you’re constantly battling stuffy noses from dry, stuffy air, it might be due to your furnace. 

Your Heating System Is Very Old

Nothing lasts forever, and that includes your heating system. These systems undergo plenty of stress over the years of operation. If you can’t recall when you installed your furnace, that’s a good sign it’s time to get it replaced. Replacing your furnace sooner rather than later will help prevent a potentially inconvenient situation should it decide to break down.
