When winter weather heads your way, it can be difficult to heat your home properly, especially if your furnace is getting older. While many people opt for HVAC system repairs, it may be time for a replacement. Here are a few red flags that you need an upgrade, as well as how a heating contractor can help. 

Signs Your Furnace Needs an Upgrade

If you notice strange noises or smells coming from your furnace, the interior of the unit may be dirty and burning off particulates. Rattling could mean various components have become loose within the system, generating noise and harming the efficiency. 

Over time, your furnace will require more energy to heat your home, as corroding components can force the system to work harder. On average, furnaces have a life span of around 20 to 30 years. If it’s nearing that point, an upgrade is often necessary. 

Also, pay attention to how frequently you need service and how much you spend each year on fixing your HVAC system, as that money could be put toward a newer, more efficient furnace. 

Your Replacement Options 

When you replace your furnace, consider installing a Mitsubishi Electric® ductless HVAC system. They are designed to heat your home efficiently and evenly. Ductless units are easy to install and will help you to warm drafty, chilly spaces. 

Modern furnaces are also more efficient, with research showing that older forced-air furnaces produce about half as much heat as newer furnaces, using the same amount of fuel. By upgrading your system, you’ll save money and keep your home more comfortable.
