Top 5 Reasons to Replace Your Old Furnace
- Unpredictable Heating: As a furnace ages, its ability to provide consistent levels of heat diminishes. It may still provide heat for your home, but the precision will no longer be there.
- Tax Credits and Rebates: Tax credits and federal rebates can total up to $1800 dollars off the purchase of your unit making a new high efficiency furnace that much more affordable.
- High Energy Bills: Precision isn’t the only thing a furnace loses; it loses efficiency, and over time the AFUE rating of your furnace will decrease. Plus, modern furnaces are likely to be more efficient than your old furnace in it’s prime!
- Frequent Repairs: Chances are if your elderly furnace has broken down recently, there are other parts of the unit in the process of failing as well. Repairs are only going to become more frequent and more expensive as time goes on.
- Cracked Heat Exchangers: Worse than a breakdown is the potential of a cracked heat exchanger. Once cracked, the unit will begin to leakcarbon monoxide into the home which can pose a danger to you and your family.
