SHOULD I REPAIR OR REPLACE MY FURNACE?
You don’t have to be a heating expert to see when getting an upgraded furnace is better than fixing your old one. There are many clues to look out for and recognizing any of them fast could spare you from serious issues. It may also make the switch to an updated furnace much easier.
How Do I Know If My Furnace Needs to Be Replaced?
- Your furnace’s age. Even with proper maintenance, many home furnace systems don’t live past 20 years. So just in case, it’s a good idea to contemplate replacing your furnace once it exceeds the 15-year mark.
- The recurrence and cost of repairs. With the right upkeep, you shouldn’t require furnace repair a lot. As your furnace matures, you may notice you’re scheduling service calls more often. Our Orlando heating pros advise updating your furnace once repairs are over half the price of a new system.
- You’re purchasing a new air conditioner. If you’re upgrading your AC unit, installing a new furnace can maximize its efficiency.
Understanding the Different Types of Furnaces
You know you need a new heating system, but what kind? There are several types of furnaces available, and while they all work well, each deserves careful consideration.
Gas Furnace
This is the most common style of furnace today, especially in cooler climates. Gas furnaces are very effective at distributing heat evenly and because gas is a cheap fuel source, it costs less to operate than other models.
Oil Furnace
If you do not have access to a natural gas line at your home, an oil furnace would be a good option for you. While it might not be as efficient as a gas furnace, oil tends to produce more heat per BTU – meaning you’ll get warmer faster.
Electric Furnace
Electric furnaces are usually cheaper and come in much smaller sizes than gas or oil furnaces. Like oil furnaces, they are not as efficient, but they operate quietly and are more durable than either of the other options making it a good choice for those who want heat without a large upfront expense.
Modulating Furnace
A modulating furnace modifies the amount of gas it uses based on the target temperature. This type of furnace costs more up front, however, it’s more efficient because it doesn’t waste energy. You’ll see the savings reflected on your energy bill.
