Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Furnace
Aging systems often require frequent repairs, struggle to keep your home warm, and consume more energy to do so. Knowing when to replace your furnace can help you avoid costly breakdowns and enjoy consistent comfort.
Furnace Age
The general lifespan of a furnace is between fifteen and twenty years, depending on how well it has been maintained. If you are experiencing frequent issues and constant repairs on your unit and it is at the end of its lifespan, it is recommended to consider replacing the unit altogether.
Increased Utility Bills
If you notice a random, unexplainable increase in your monthly utility energy bills every month, this could be a sign that it’s time to have your furnace assessed by Priority Home Services for replacement. When a furnace is on its final leg, it can over-run and cause your utility bills to increase.
Inadequate Temperatures
If you notice a random, unexplainable increase in your monthly utility energy bills every month, this could be a sign that it’s time to have your furnace assessed by Priority Home Services for replacement. When a furnace is on its final leg, it can over-run and cause your utility bills to increase.
Excess Dust
Excess dust around your home is generally a sign of something wrong with your furnace and HVAC system. When your furnace is not running properly, it can begin to harbor dust, debris, and other contaminants that can be blown around your home.
Odd Smells & Noises
Any time an appliance is emitting odd smells and making strange noises, it is never a good sign. If your furnace is making banging noises and creating foul odors, there is an internal issue that at the very least will require professional repair from Priority Home Services, or potentially a full replacement altogether.
Improper Cycling
If you notice your furnace cycling constantly or abnormally at all, this is a sign that you may need to replace your unit. When a furnace over-cycles, it can severely wear out the machine and its components, increasing the risk of replacement rather than a simple repair.
How to Choose the Right Furnace for Your Home
When you work with a Priority Home Services expert, they will help guide you in making the correct decision when choosing the right new furnace for your Colorado home. Some of the things you will take into consideration when choosing the perfect furnace for your home include:
Size
The size of your home will impact which furnace is right for your home. How spacious your home is, how tall the ceilings are, amongst other factors will affect your final decision.
Location
Regular heating maintenance is key to extending the life of your heating system and preventing unexpected breakdowns. Our technicians perform thorough inspections, cleanings, and tune-ups to ensure your system runs efficiently, helping you save on energy bills and avoid costly repairs.
Climate
The outdoor Colorado climate will also factor into the size and type of furnace that you decide on.
Cost
Cost is almost always the biggest factor in deciding which furnace is best for your home. There are endless furnaces on the market, with many affordable options.
A Breakdown of the Most Common Furnaces We Install
There are several different types of furnaces available on the market. Generally speaking, natural gas furnaces are considered the most efficient type of furnace, but also the biggest investment of the three. Some of the options out there include:
Natural Gas Furnaces
These furnaces run on gas, are highly regarded as the most efficient type of furnace, but are also the biggest investment.
Oil Furnaces
Oil furnaces rely on an oil tank, where oil is filtered and converted into a spray that eventually heats your Colorado home through additional processes. Oil furnaces are considered to be second in line for efficiency as well as cost.
Electric Furnaces
Electric furnaces utilize an electric motor to pump air into and out of the furnace. Electric furnaces are the cheapest option, but are considered less efficient than oil and natural gas furnaces.
Propane Furnaces
This type of furnace operates by running propane and converting it into a gas. Propane furnaces are generally considered the least efficient type of furnace, but they cost a bit more than an electric furnace.
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Services
How long does a typical furnace last?
Furnaces typically last for about 15 to 20 years. Elements that can affect your furnace’s lifespan include the environment in which you live, maintenance, and the grade of your equipment. Having the proper maintenance done professionally by Priority Home Services every year will make the biggest impact on how long your furnace lasts. Lastly, when purchasing a furnace, it will end up saving you money in the long run to buy a higher-grade system. They handle better, last longer, and are usually more energy efficient, which means you will save money on your monthly bills.
Do high-efficiency furnaces really save money?
Yes, high-efficiency furnaces will absolutely save you money. Furnace efficiency is rated by the government by how much gas comes in vs. how much heat is delivered into the home. Furnaces that are more efficient are safer, cleaner, and, because they work less hard, cost you less to run.
Will a new furnace save me money?
Yes, a new furnace will very likely save you money, as furnaces are only replaced every 15 to 20 years. With today’s technological advancements, the likelihood of a much more energy-efficient model is sky-high. The more energy efficient the furnace is, the more money it will save you. If you’re thinking of replacing your furnace, call Priority Home Services to have a heating and cooling expert guide you in choosing the right-sized furnace for your home.
How do I know which type of furnace is right for my home?
When selecting a furnace for your home, several factors should be considered. Size, efficiency, and cost all play important roles in determining which type of furnace is best for you. Generally speaking, the larger the home and the higher its energy demands, the bigger and more efficient your furnace will need to be. If you have a small space or a modest energy demand, you may be able to get away with a smaller and less expensive furnace. Consider your lifestyle, budget, and preferences when selecting the model that is right for you.
How long will it take to install a New Furnace?
The time required to install a new furnace varies depending on several factors. These include the size and type of furnace being installed, the complexity of the installation, and any additional work that may be required (such as ductwork or venting). Generally, most installations can be completed in one day, though they may take longer depending on the project’s complexity. Additionally, some local building codes may require additional inspections or work, which could increase the total amount of time required for installation. It is important to consult with a professional before beginning any furnace installation project to ensure compliance with local regulations and that the job is done correctly.
Are there any safety concerns with furnaces?
Yes. It is important to be aware of the safety hazards associated with furnaces, including carbon monoxide poisoning, electrical or gas shock, and fire. Only qualified HVAC technicians should perform furnace service and maintenance, as they are trained to identify potential safety risks. Be sure to consult your local building codes when installing a new system as well.
