When Should You Replace Your Heating System?
The decision to replace your heating system depends on various factors.
Here are 10 signs that may indicate it's time to consider a replacement:
- Age of the System: Most heating systems have a lifespan of 15-20 years. If your system is approaching or has exceeded this timeframe, it might be more cost-effective to replace it rather than continuing to repair and maintain an aging system.
- Frequent Repairs: If you find yourself consistently needing repairs, and the costs of these repairs are adding up, it might be more economical to invest in a new, more reliable system.
- Increased Energy Bills: Older heating systems tend to be less energy-efficient. If you notice a significant increase in your energy bills, upgrading to a more energy-efficient model can result in long-term cost savings.
- Inconsistent Heating: If some rooms in your home are consistently colder than others, or if you're experiencing uneven heating, it could be a sign that your heating system is no longer functioning optimally.
- Unusual Noises: Strange noises such as banging, clanking, or whistling coming from your heating system can indicate mechanical issues. If these issues persist despite repairs, replacement may be necessary.
- Safety Concerns: If your heating system poses safety risks, such as carbon monoxide leaks, it's crucial to replace it immediately for the safety of your household.
- Outdated Technology: Older systems may lack the advanced features and technologies that are now available. Upgrading to a newer system can provide improved comfort and energy efficiency.
- Changes in Home Usage: If you've made significant changes to your home, such as adding rooms or improving insulation, your existing heating system may no longer be appropriately sized for your needs.
- Availability of Parts: If your heating system is so old that finding replacement parts is challenging, it may be a sign that it's time to upgrade.
- Energy Efficiency Ratings: Newer heating systems often come with higher energy efficiency ratings. If your current system has a low-efficiency rating, upgrading to a more efficient model can lead to energy savings.
Before making a decision, it's advisable to consult with a professional HVAC technician to assess the condition of your current system and provide guidance on whether repair or replacement is the best course of action based on your specific circumstances.
Expert Heating Consultation
Our heating experts will look at your needs and make a recommendation that works best for your home or office. Then, we make sure it’s installed correctly, so you can stay warm without worrying about the future, costly repairs.
Our heating systems can do the following:
- COR Wi-Fi Thermostat: Combines home comfort with reduced energy usage.
- Forced Air System: Uses air as its heat transfer medium. These systems are energy efficient and are incorporated into central air conditioning systems.
- Radiant Heating: Supplies heat directly to the floor, wall panels, or the ceiling. It is often preferable because it doesn’t distribute allergens like forced air systems.
- Steam Radiant: A boiler furnace heats water via a gas or oil-fired burner and turns it into steam, which is then blown into the home via ducts.
- Electric Baseboard: Spreads warmth using convection to circulate air. Baseboards are safer for kids and pets because they don’t tip over like portable space heaters.
- Hot Water Baseboard: Uses hot water from a boiler, which is pumped through the system and through the pipes in the baseboard. These operate more efficiently because the fluid takes longer to cool down.
All systems come with a 10-year warranty and a one-year Tough & Courteous membership. Learn more about our maintenance service here
