Read Our Client Reviews
In Chamblee, GA, the average furnace has an expected lifespan between 15 and 20 years. This depends on the system’s maintenance history, annual runtime, and a number of complex factors that vary from home to home. Just like redoing your roof or installing a new water heater, investing in a furnace replacement is one of those big purchases that every homeowner eventually has to make.
Efficiency: The Cost of Outdated Equipment
As a homeowner, you can replace your heating system because you have to or because you want to. Even quality HVAC equipment costs more to run and maintain as it ages, so eventually, replacement becomes the smartest choice. First, look at your energy bills. If you’re spending more than you should or if your gas consumption is increasing, a furnace replacement could lower your heating bills by 15% or more according to Energy Star.
Replacement and Mechanical Reliability
You should also consider how much you spend on heating repairs. If your cost of ownership has gone up or if you know that major parts will need replacement due to corrosion and general wear and tear, you might want to request an estimate before it’s too late. Additionally, reliability concerns may lead to unnecessary worry that costs you your peace of mind.
Quality HVAC Equipment for a Comfortable Home
Comfort is another important consideration. If your furnace is not working as well as it used to or if it struggles to keep your home comfortable, schedule a tune-up to see if minor tweaks can resolve the issue. You might also consider installing a new hybrid heating system or two-stage furnace. These products run at lower levels to reduce energy use while minimizing temperature swings, and they offer a variety of other benefits.
