Winter weather has arrived, and now is the time to know if your home is in need of a heating replacement. The heating contractors at Koonts Heating & A/C of Linwood, NC, advise all homeowners to keep a close eye on their furnaces as the temperatures drop. You want to spot issues early so you can find a heating replacement before the harshest temperatures hit.

If you notice any of the three warning signs below, contact Koonts Heating & A/C for a heating replacement today:

• Uneven Heating: Are you cozy in one room and chilly in another? Inconsistent heating is usually caused by a broken or old furnace. If your furnace is older than 15 years, it’s probably time for a heating replacement.
• Loud Noises: Aside from turning on and off, your furnace shouldn’t be making any noises. Clanking, screeching, and rattling are all signs of broken or worn down parts in need of replacing.
• Steep Energy Costs: Have you noticed your energy bills growing higher than normal? Old and broken furnaces require more energy to produce the same amount of heat as new units. This results in a creeping energy bill.
