Heating
The industry standard for heater lifespan is 15 years. If your unit is at or over this age, you need to replace it. But you also might want to consider being proactive if it is approaching this milestone – especially if your furnace has required frequent repairs over the years.
You should be able to predict your monthly bills within a few dollars. So, if you have suddenly seen a spike during the winter months, you should look to your furnace as a potential culprit. Calling our specialists is the best way to be sure.
It might be obvious, but there is probably a problem if your house is cold and drafty. Sometimes, we can solve this issue with repairs. But if we can’t, you can rely on us to find a heater that fits your budget.
Are you noticing an increase in dust in your home? The furnace may be the reason. Furnaces remove airborne particles as part of their normal operating procedure. An aging or malfunctioning heater will stop doing that.
No heater is silent. However, you should never hear loud banging noises or funky smells. If your furnace produces sounds or smells, we highly recommend you contact us today.
Your furnace should kick in and begin cycling warm air when the indoor temperature dips below the set temperature. Once the thermostat recognizes the correct temperature, the furnace should shut off. If your furnace isn’t doing this, there is a problem.
