Over time, the heater in your home will gradually become less efficient, and will eventually need to be replaced.
Operating an inefficient heater is not only hazardous for your home, but it will also increase your energy bills each month.
Here are some signs that it might be time to get a new heater. If your heater is making noises, it might be time to replace it. Older heating systems have many moving parts that tend to get worn down over time and eventually, they will break. While some parts are designed to be replaced, it is best to replace the entire heater if it is over thirty years old. An HVAC professional will be able to determine the source of a noise and tell you if it’s time to replace the old heater. If your electric and gas bills are consistently higher than they should be, it might be time to replace your heater. When your heater becomes less efficient than it used to be, it will have to work harder to maintain the ambient temperature in your home, and less efficient systems will require more energy to do so. Upgrading your HVAC system is a great way to save money on energy bills, especially if you have an older unit. If you walk around your home and experience cold spots, it may be time to replace your heater. IF there are cold spots in your home, then your HVAC system isn’t circulating the air around your home effectively. The best way to know if it’s time to replace your heater is to have regularly scheduled maintenance with an HVAC professional.
