Time for a New Furnace?
When should you replace your furnace?

What Are the Signs You Need to Replace Your Furnace?
No furnace will last forever, but your system will have a longer lifespan if it’s cared for properly. Some furnaces do go out unexpectedly, but in many cases, there are warning signs that indicate a problem.
Constant Running: If it just can’t keep up, order an inspection so you can learn how much life is left in your furnace. You’ll be surprised how much more efficient today’s furnaces are.
Rising Heating Bills: Any significant changes in costs can indicate a problem. As your furnace ages, efficiency decreases. Compare this year’s bills to ones from a couple of years ago. Having regular tune-ups can help improve your system’s efficiency, but sometimes, the best solution is a new furnace.
Frequent Repairs: It makes sense to have your furnace repaired the first time, but the third, fourth or fifth time? If constant repairs are hurting your budget, it’s probably time to consider a replacement.
