How to Know When to Replace Your Heating System

There are a few common issues that may occur when a heating unit needs to be replaced. One of the most recognizable symptoms that should immediately be considered a red flag is that whether you have a furnace or boiler, you can hear strange noises. These noises such as popping, banging or squealing could lead to your furnace to possibly nearing the end of its lifetime, or that your boiler is distributing water unevenly, causing vibrations through the system.

Another factor to keep in mind is how long you have had your current unit. A furnace anywhere from a new system to 12 years old is considered to be in working condition. When they reach over 16 years old, however, they are much more prone to experiencing issues and breakdowns.

With boilers, if it is almost 10 years of age, replacement is highly recommended. Another typical problem with heating units is efficiency. Older models of furnaces and boilers are usually less efficient and may not heat your home correctly. The less effective they are, the higher your energy bills will be. Other symptoms may include, leaking, changes in water temperatures, or if repairs are consistently having to be made.

Benefits of a New Heating System

There are many benefits to replacing your heating system. Replacing your old system with a new one that is more efficient can help you save money on your future bills. Specifically, newly designed furnace systems have an AFUE (annual fuel utilization efficiency) of more than 90 percent. Older systems have a rating of 70 percent or less. This not only means the cost of running the furnace is reduced, but since less is being wasted when in use, it is better for the environment.

Another benefit is comfortability. Newer heating systems produce more sustainable heat, which then helps keep a constant temperature and airflow throughout your home. Better flow of air contributes to maintaining the right humidity levels and keeping the air healthier. One more big advantage to upgrading to a new heating system is that the newer models are much better suited for newer SMART thermostats.

These unique thermostats can be programmed to regulate temperatures automatically. You can schedule the thermostat to set temperatures that correspond with usage during particular times of the day. Also, when replacing your heating system, newer units are developed with more safety features. There are fewer chances for it to develop leaks or any other complications that an older model may have.
