WARNING SIGNS

5 Signs Your Furnace Is Ready for Replacement

When your furnace starts acting up again and again, replacement crosses your mind — but short of it quitting outright, it’s not always obvious when to pull the trigger. Here’s what to watch for:

Age

Furnaces, like most major appliances, lose ground as they age. Twenty years is the rough ceiling for a typical unit’s lifespan — getting more than that is a bonus, but once your furnace nears that mark, it’s time to start pricing out a new one.

Continuously Rising Energy Bills

When your energy bill keeps rising for no clear reason, a furnace losing efficiency is often the cause. Repairs and maintenance can slow that decline, but they won’t reverse it as the unit keeps aging.

Frequent Repairs Required

Any appliance that needs constant repairs is telling you something about how much life it has left. The more frequently your furnace needs service calls, the more seriously you should consider replacing it.

No Sound While in Operation

A running furnace usually hums quietly in the background. Rattling or banging points to a needed repair, but a furnace that’s gone completely silent while it should be running is often signaling it’s nearly done for good.

Visible Cracks or Rust

Cracks or rust visible on your furnace’s exterior are a clear signal that replacement should be on your radar. Left alone, that corrosion will only get worse and increasingly compromise how well the unit runs.
