Signs It’s Time To Install a New Heating System

These symptoms may mean it’s time for a new furnace installation:

• Age: Furnaces typically operate efficiently for approximately 15 years, depending on how heavily they’re used and how well and often heating system maintenance is done.
• Bills: Energy costs going up can mean your furnace is no longer running efficiently, while new heating systems must meet higher efficiency standards today.
• Strange sounds: The older it gets, the more rattles and clanks the furnace may develop.
• Dry air: Older furnaces may dry the indoor air, often too much. This can lead to dry, itchy skin, dry eyes and throat, etc. A full-featured, new furnace system with an integrated humidifier will better mediate the humidity in your home, keeping it at a comfortable level.
• Unevenly heated home: You need consistent, reliable heat for your home and family — and older heating systems may not produce enough heat or may be sized incorrectly.
• Multiple repairs or one major repair: When needed, these issues can make it more cost-effective to put your money toward a new furnace installation.

Watch for these signs your old heating system is failing, or simply ready for retirement, then call Schneller Knochelmann. We’ll check the function of your current heating system and make the necessary furnace repairs.

Advantages of a Forced-Air Furnace

We’re big fans of gas or electric furnace systems, and typically recommend them for their long service life and other benefits. Heat pumps are also a solid option for our local climate when properly outfitted and installed.

Here’s why we favor furnaces for home heating installation:

• Furnaces are more effective in cold climates like ours. A furnace system generates heat, whereas a heat pump transfers heat from the outdoor air to warm your home.
• Furnaces are generally cheaper to purchase.
• Furnaces are cheaper to operate, using less energy and keeping energy bills low. Compared to boilers and heat pumps, furnaces are a great financial option based on our climate. We’ve found boilers to be the most costly system for local homeowners, and they often require the most maintenance. Heat pumps must work harder in our cold climate, trying to bring in heat from freezing outdoor air. Heat pumps can work well, however, with backup electrical heating coils. The coils switch on when temps are below freezing to keep your home comfortable — but this is a more expensive option.
• Furnaces typically run quieter than heat pumps.
