Many homeowners have the goal of reducing their utility bills. Between gas, electricity, and water, utilities can add up, especially if you live in an area with extreme temperatures or own a larger home. One way to save money is to replace some of your older appliances with newer, more efficient models, rather than getting AC and furnace repair. 

Over the past few decades, home appliances have made leaps in efficiency, and furnaces are no exception. Heating systems use far less energy now than they have in the past, yet many homeowners still have furnaces that are upwards of ten years old. Rather than buying a replacement, homeowners continue to hire furnace repair professionals. While this might seem economical, it can drain energy so rapidly that your utility bills get a little out of control.

Furnaces being produced now must turn at least 78% of their energy directly into heat for your home. That means that at least 78% of the energy you’re paying for becomes heat instead of being used to run the furnace. If you’ve been having repairs on a heater that was made in 1992 or before, then it might be producing only half of the heat that a modern furnace could with the same amount of fuel.

Choosing a new, high-quality furnace from a trusted brand, such as Carrier^®, can make up for its purchase in reduced heating bills over the next few years. Despite the upfront cost, you will save money, and you won’t need to call your heating service for furnace repair again for quite some time.
