Like
any other equipment in your home, the furnace needs to be regularly
inspected to see if it will remain functional in the next winter.
Additionally, it pays to watch out for signs that can mean your
furnace needs replacement. Here are some of these signs.
Old Model
Technological
advancements have introduced new models of home heating systems.
Design innovations on these latest units have reinforced safety,
further minimizing risks of fire or electrocution. If the unit you
have at home is several decades old, it may be the right time to
replace them with newer, safer models.
Last Two Years
The
average furnace may last up to 20 years. This does not mean that you
have to wait until this period is over before making the change. The
last two years of your furnace’s life expectancy may be the ideal
time to get a new one. Not only can a decrepit unit cause fire, it
can also suddenly give up on you in the middle of a blizzard, which
is something you wouldn’t want to happen.
Strange
Noises
A
screeching sound coming from your furnace could be a sign that there
is something in the system that shouldn’t be there. It could also
mean one of the components is not working efficiently or is damaged.
Strange furnace noises typically happen when the furnace is nearing
the end of its service life.
