You'll be using your furnace more and more as winter draws near. But can your furnace handle the job? Make sure your furnace is in good operating order if you want to prevent exorbitant energy costs once the cold weather hits. If not, an update is necessary.

Furnace Cleaning NE Calgary is one of the heating, cooling, and ventilation services offered by BreatheWell Duct & Furnace Cleaners. They provide five indicators that it might be time to replace your furnace here.

1. AGE

 Only so long can a furnace be used. Actually, you should only anticipate the lifespan of your furnace to be between 15 and 20 years. However, usage and maintenance have a considerable impact on the lifespan of your furnace, making routine, expert maintenance essential for both longevity and performance.

If your furnace was already in place when you moved into your house, you should specifically look into its age. There should be a serial number on your furnace that may be used to estimate its age. Connect with us if you're unsure. Your furnace may receive a thorough check from us, and we can tell you how old it is and whether its life is about to end.

2. INCREASING ENERGY COSTS

Your furnace loses efficiency as it ages. A professional maintenance crew can lessen this. Over time, though, performance will inevitably deteriorate. Your furnace could be nearing the end of its useful life if your energy costs are consistently going up. Utilization and price can be compared year over year. Make sure to account for the increases in energy and distribution costs when calculating the total cost and usage this year.

3. UNNECESSARY DUST

No matter how frequently you clean, is your home constantly dusty? The problem might be with your furnace. Excessive amounts of dander, soot, dust, and filth are red flags. Your furnace's filter may only need to be changed, but it's also possible that the furnace itself has to be replaced. Check the filter first. Every 90 days or as recommended by the manufacturer, it should be changed.

4. NOISE

It shouldn't come as a surprise that a malfunctioning furnace would make noises like clanking, grinding, or screeching. Call your HVAC professional as soon as you hear any strange noises or excessive noise emanating from your furnace. There might be cracks, leaks, or other structural problems with your furnace that need to be fixed. You will need to replace your furnace if the damage is too serious.

5. FREQUENT BREAKDOWNS

It may be time for an update if you call your HVAC professional frequently to service your furnace. Although retrofitting and professional repairs are excellent ways to extend the life of your furnace, they are only financially viable for so long. Over time, the cost of routine repairs will rise over the price of just buying a new furnace. If it is more cost-effective to replace than repair, your HVAC contractor can make that recommendation.
