Winter is on the horizon, which means now is the perfect to double-check the health of your furnace. Nobody wants to be left out in the cold! If you’re in need of a new heating system, here are a few facts you should know before you invest in this big home purchase. 

Do You Need a New Heating System?

1. HVAC Technology Has Advanced

New furnaces have advanced technology that makes them more energy efficient and packed with features, but they also tend to command a higher price tag. Decades ago, you may have needed a larger furnace to supply the right Btu rating. But today, modern furnaces can produce the same amount of heat with a lower Btu. A contractor can help you determine the right-size system to heat your entire home—no guesswork required.

2. You May Be Eligible for Rebates

Even if you aren’t in the market for a new furnace, it’s worthwhile to ask your local HVAC service about your options. You could slash your utility bill this winter!

3. Older Systems May Need Maintenance or a Replacement

As a rule of thumb, the average life expectancy for a gas furnace is about 18 years. If you’ve noticed the telltale signs of a failing system—namely, inadequate heating, strange noises, and a higher utility bill—call in a professional to set up a new heating system.
