Winters can be very cold in River Falls, WI. Regardless of how you prepare for winter, there is one thing that we always recommend getting ready. One of the best things that you can do now to ensure that your home is ready for the sharp decline in temperature is to make sure that your furnace is in top-notch shape.
If you have a newer unit, this might just simply include scheduling a maintenance check to get your heating system serviced. As HVAC professionals, we highly recommend getting even your new furnace serviced to ensure the longevity of your unit. Heating systems that are serviced regularly typically have a longer life span which can save you money in the long run. If your furnace is 5-10 years old and you have noticed that it is slowing down, it might need repair. Taking care of this repair quickly can help to ensure that a larger repair isn’t needed shortly. Finally, if your furnace is over 10 years old, it might be time to consider investing in having a new furnace installed. No matter what your needs are to improve your heating system, the Hurlburt team is here to help in any way that we can! Our team of experts handles everything from maintenance to full installation so that you don’t have to worry about a thing!
In general, your furnace should last anywhere between 15 and 20 years, although many factors impact the lifespan of your particular unit. For example, getting your furnace serviced on a routine basis can increase its lifespan dramatically. Also, ensuring that you pick the right size furnace for your space and making sure it is installed properly makes a huge impact on the longevity of the unit. If your furnace is too small for your space, then it will likely have to work much harder to keep up with the demands of your home. This not only puts strain on your furnace, but it also runs up your electric bill. If your furnace was not installed by a professional, there is a good chance that many issues are hiding that could be negatively impacting your furnace’s airflow. This is why furnace installation is a home project that is best left to an HVAC professional. Here are a few common signs to watch out for that might indicate that you need to install a new furnace:
If your electric bill has been steadily increasing during the winter months when you are running your heating system, it might be because your furnace is losing efficiency. Obviously, during the coldest months of the year, you should expect your electric bill to go up, but with consistent usage, your costs should be relatively predictable. If you start to notice a dramatic increase, you need to call an HVAC professional to check the efficiency of your furnace.
Have you noticed that some rooms in your house heat up much easier than others while your heating system is on? This could be a sign that your furnace is struggling to distribute heat evenly. If you find yourself having to constantly adjust the thermostat to keep your home at a comfortable temperature, this is a clear sign that your furnace is not operating efficiently.
If you begin to hear unusual noises coming from your furnace such as rattling or banging, this is an indication that there could be a serious problem with your unit. If this is the case, you need to call an HVAC professional as soon as possible to assess the issue. Without immediate attention, you could be risking serious damage to your furnace and your home.
Towards the end of your furnace’s lifespan, it will likely require multiple repairs to keep it working at its maximum capacity. If you find yourself calling a technician to come and look at your furnace frequently, it is time to consider investing in a new furnace installation. Ultimately, this investment will save you money while also giving you peace of mind.
If the air in your home has started to feel dry or dusty, it might be because your furnace is not cleaning and humidifying the air properly. This could also result in you or a loved one experiencing increased allergy or respiratory issues because your furnace is not circulating air properly. Breathing in this heavily polluted air isn’t safe for anyone living in the home, but it could especially affect those with pre-existing upper respiratory issues. To keep your home safer and your air cleaner, consider installing a new furnace—especially since newer furnaces tend to be better at filtering out particles in your air.
Although this list offers many of the most common signs to watch out for, it is not an exhaustive list. As a rule of thumb, at Hurlburt, we would recommend always calling out for an HVAC professional when you are worried about something you’ve noticed with your furnace. You can never be too safe!
