These Warning Signs Provide More than Just Hints that You Need a Furnace Replacement

The key to a comfortable home is an efficient heating system. As long as the furnace is running smoothly, you don’t have to worry about it swallowing huge amounts of energy or endangering your family with reduced air quality inside your home. While your system can last for many years, wear and tear—if not damage—will eventually render it inoperable. To maximize its service life, you must maintain vigilance of its operation and its parts.

Once you notice something wrong with the furnace, you need to act immediately in addressing the issue. Otherwise, you might end up spending a lot on repairs and putting your family’s health at risk. Depend on the following signs to tell you when it’s time to invest in a furnace replacement for your Edmonton abode.

If it contains a pilot light, it’s most likely bumping or exceeding 25 years of life and is more than ready to be retired. You can’t rush into a replacement, however. Allot yourself enough time to weigh all the considerations required before purchasing a new unit. A panicked purchase can lead to trouble. Avoid a harried decision by planning ahead of time based on the age of your furnace.
