5 Signs You Might be in Need of Furnace Replacement

Even the most durable appliances will eventually need to be replaced, which means you’ll have to invest in furnace replacement services. Determining when it’s time to switch out your old furnace is often easier said than done. That’s why Brockville and Kingston’s HVAC experts are here to help.

At Toshack, we’ve helped hundreds of homeowners determine when it’s time to install a new furnace, and we’ve collected some of the most common warning signs here.

1. Decreased Air Quality 

Have you found that the air in your home feels stuffy or dusty? If regularly replacing your furnace’s air filter doesn’t fix the problem, it may be time to invest in a new furnace or HVAC system that will improve the air quality of your home. Using a modern, efficient furnace model will make a difference for your indoor air quality.

2. Spiking Energy Bills 

If you’re paying more and more on energy each month, it could be because your furnace is working overtime. Often, older and less efficient furnaces will try and make up for inefficiency by running nonstop, costing you an arm and a leg. A knowledgeable professional will be able to tell you if it’s time to replace or repair.

3. Bumps in the Night 

It’s not uncommon for furnaces to make a few noises when turning on and off, but if yours is constantly bumping and clanging, your furnace has likely seen better days. Repair or replacement may be called for in certain cases, so it’s always best to book a service appointment, allowing a qualified technician to inspect the unit. 

4. Uneven Temperatures 

If the rooms of your home appear to be different temperatures, it could be a furnace issue. Often, as furnaces age, they have more trouble distributing air throughout your household, making them less effective at heating and cooling the entire home.

5. More than 15 Years Old 

Some furnace manufacturers recommend furnace replacement after fifteen years. However, depending on how much use your furnace receives, this number may vary. The best way to determine whether it’s time for furnace replacement is to have a professional inspect it and provide a recommendation.
