More often than not, many homeowners, myself included, tend to neglect their furnace needs until it is too late. Nevertheless, just like a car, homeowners can pour thousands of dollars into keeping it running. However, the issue is that it would be a temporary fix. In hindsight, the best thing for a homeowner who is deciding whether or not to replace their current furnace is to invest in a new system, because like all good things, it does not last forever. Luckily for us, our knowledgeable and trusted technicians at Delaware Heating & Air have provided us with a few of the main reasons that homeowners who are fighting a constant battle with their furnaces should invest in upgrading their home heating system before winter hits.
Untimely Breakdown
Typically, a furnace can last up to 15-20 years with proper maintenance; however, we can’t control when our furnace breaks down, but we can control when we invest in a new one. One of the most terrible things that can happen is being stuck in a freezing cold house in the middle of winter—on top of that, trying to figure out how to keep your family warm for the time being. Our specialists at Delaware Heating & Air suggest getting a Furnace Tune-Up + Safety Check at the beginning of fall. Keep in mind; fall is the perfect time to replace your home heating system because it allows homeowners to assess their furnace needs and decide whether or not to upgrade their furnace before even needing to turn it on.
Upgraded Technology
Another reason to replace and upgrade your furnace is the decrease in the efficiency of your current furnace. In most cases, homeowners are still running with the initial furnace placed in their home during construction. However, with today’s technology continually evolving, furnaces are being designed and built that strongly emphasize energy efficiency. This innovative technology offers homeowners the option to create a schedule for their furnace needs. In addition to saving money on utility bills, these new systems are more powerful, quieter, and modern while simultaneously using less energy.
A Fresh Start
Lastly, homeowners get a fresh start regarding the manufacturer’s warranty when buying a new and improved furnace. This is especially beneficial if you are not the house’s original owner by allowing the current homeowner to start anew on the routine annual maintenance that needs to be performed to keep a warranty intact. On top of that, a brand new furnace rarely breaks down, meaning that homeowners shouldn’t have to do any significant repairs on their new furnace for the first few years of operation, saving you time and money.
