When fall starts to settle in and you know cooler temperatures are on the way, it's time to start thinking about furnace repair and service. Proper maintenance will help make sure that your furnace is up to the task of keeping you and your loved ones warm this winter. Before that familiar chill hits, take some time to inspect your heating system to make sure it is working properly. Here are some tips from our heating repair experts at Suburban PTAC Repair Service Corp. , a nationally trusted brand with a reputation for putting homeowners first.
Ensuring that your furnace is working properly is the key to keeping energy costs low.
Here are some steps you should take every fall to make sure your furnace is running as efficiently and as safely as possible:
Aside from the maintenance you do on your furnace, a comprehensive annual cleaning and safety inspection performed by a professional is the best way to ensure safe and effective operation for the entire heating season.
Knowing whether to repair or replace your furnace is not always an easy decision to make.
Safety first - If it is a safety hazard to continue using the furnace, replace it.
Age - The average lifespan of a furnace is 15 years depending on their location and how much the furnace is used. In cold climates, it may be 7 years; in warmer climates, it could be 15. How close is your furnace to the end of its life cycle?
Cost - Get a quote for the cost of the repair and a quote for the cost of replacement, including installation charges, to make an accurate comparison.
Efficiency - Are your energy bills creeping up every year in spite of annual furnace repair and service? A new furnace could save you a lot of money in energy costs.
If your furnace is more than 10 years old and the cost of the repair would cover a significant part of the cost of a new system, it may be time to consider replacing your system. Factor in the energy savings you'll enjoy with a new furnace when determining the cost of a new system, as upfront expenses may be recouped over time.
