Your furnace works constantly during the coldest months. This heavy workload often causes older furnaces to stop working on some of the chilliest days of the year in Sandpoint. You may not even realize it could happen until you come home to a freezing house one day. Then you’re in disaster mode, and that’s not the most advantageous place to be. The Age Heating & Cooling team can help. We’ve created this list of symptoms that your furnace may be displaying that will let you know a replacement may be necessary.
Some rooms are colder than others
If your rooms aren’t heating evenly, your furnace may be reaching the end of its lifespan. Sometimes this problem can be solved by making sure your ductwork is properly sealed. Properly sealing your ducts can not only keep your home evenly heated, but it can prevent your furnace from working harder than it needs to. You could save your furnace and save some money with improved energy efficiency.
Your furnace is noisy
Have a noisy furnace inspected by the pros at Age Heating & Cooling. Some people learn that their system is actually too small for their home, which can cause it to turn on and off more often. And rattling sounds could be telling you that inner pieces aren’t functioning normally.
Too many repairs
It’s no secret that older furnaces often fail, and before that happens they become less and less energy efficient. If you’re making appointments for furnace repair frequently, it’s time to look into a new system. Waiting too long to make a new purchase could end up costing you more money in the long run.
The average life expectancy of a furnace or boiler is about 15 years. So, if your system is getting older, you might be better off with a new, efficient and quiet system. In Sandpoint, the team at Age Heating & Cooling can help you decide what would be best for you and your home. Call us at 208-578-4258 to set up an appointment with us.
