With the holiday season right around the corner, now is the perfect time for Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts homeowners to make sure their homes are ready for gatherings, guests, and winter travel. One of the best ways to prepare is by upgrading your old heating system. Replacing your current heating system with a new, energy-efficient, and powerful heating system will help you experience a more comfortable winter season when the holidays roll around. Keep reading to learn the top signs your heating system is due for an upgrade this winter and the primary factors to consider before scheduling your replacement service.
5 Signs Your Heating System Needs Replacement
How did your heating system do last winter? If you have started to worry that it may not make it through another Southern New England winter, don’t panic. We’ve outlined a few signs to help you determine if your system needs replacement.
1) Increased Fuel Usage
As your heating system ages, its efficiency will start to decline. Consistently increased fuel usage, not due to extreme weather or household size increases, indicates a decrease in fuel economy that could benefit from an upgrade.
2) Foreign Sounds or Odors
If you start to hear abnormal humming, banging, or clunking from your heating system, it could be time for a replacement. Uncommon, musty odors can be another red flag.
3) Uneven Heating
Although we can predict that heat will rise and, therefore, your upper floors may be warmer, if heat is not reaching all areas of your home equally, that can indicate the decline of your equipment’s operation capabilities.
4) Repairs Needed More Frequently
Over time, your heating equipment will suffer from more breakdowns. If you’re finding yourself calling your trusted HVAC technicians more often, a high-efficiency replacement could be a smarter financial investment for the long term.
5) Age of Your Heating Equipment
If your current heating equipment is more than 15 years old, it may be time to consider a replacement. As these systems age, they become less efficient, more prone to breakdowns, and more costly to repair than a replacement.
