In Ohio, as the temperatures begin to drop and homeowners begin to turn on their furnaces for their first time this season, it is the perfect time for homeowners to determine if their home heating system needs to be replaced before it leaves you in the cold. With proper maintenance and care, furnaces can last between 15-20 years. However, if you are not the first owner of your house, many homeowners, like myself, are working with the original furnace that came with the home. If you think your home heating system is getting up in age, our experts at Chillicothe Heating & Cooling are here to help. They have put together a few reasons why replacing your furnace just makes sense.
An Aging Furnace Truth
Many homeowners, myself included, tend to go with the old saying: “If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.” But, unfortunately, a furnace is a household appliance where this saying should not apply. Keep in mind, year after year, winter after winter, we put a lot of wear and tear on our furnaces to keep our homes comfortable. Because we rely so heavily on our furnaces, they tend to depreciate in age sooner rather than later. Thus, leading to your home heating system using significantly more energy, costing homeowners more money utility bills per month, and never-ending maintenance and repairs. In many cases, homeowners dish out thousands of dollars to keep an old furnace kicking when they could have taken that money and invested in a new furnace for their home.
A Furnaces Last Leg
Sadly, we can’t choose when our furnace goes out, whether due to a mechanical issue or old age, causing a serious problem to any homeowner if it stops working in the dead of winter. In this case, not only do you have to find a replacement, but you also have to find a way to keep the inside of your home warm, despite the weather outside. Luckily, your friends at Chillicothe Heating & Cooling offer same-day appointments and replacements. However, choosing to replace your furnace will make it easier on everyone involved, making fall the optimal time to replace your home heating system.
Benefits of Replacing Your Household Furnace
Several reasons benefit you, as a homeowner, to replace your furnace sooner rather than later. For example, if you are currently using the furnace that came with the house, it is outdated, and the warranty is most likely voided. By investing in a new furnace, you can start fresh. Meaning, keeping up with the annual maintenance and care to keep your new warrant intact; therefore, you don’t have to suffer the consequences of the previous homeowner. Moreover, furnaces that are manufactured today have the latest and greatest technology that will allow you to customize your heating schedule, which ultimately saves you time and money.
