How do you know if it is time for furnace repair, or if you should replace the whole hvac system? Here are some tips to help you know if you can fix the existing unit or if you should consider purchasing a new one.
If the furnace is older than 15 years, it is time to call a professional to perform a thorough check-up and to see if there are problems that need to be fixed. The same applies if the air conditioner or the heat pump is older than ten years. A professional expert can perform an overall check to see if the unit should be replaced, if there are any repairs that need to be done and if there are ways that the performance of the unit can be improved. Even if you do not need to buy a new unit or to replace the furnace, any heating and cooling unit that is older than ten years should be checked professionally. If you need a professional in your area, check out Champs HVAC.
If some of the rooms in the house feel warmer or colder than others, if you need to keep fixing regular problems in the system or if you have noticed higher energy bills in the recent past without an actual reason, it might be time to replace the furnace. If you replace it with a newer model that has the government’s “energy star”, you can end up saving money as the new models are much more efficient and can save as much as 20% in your air conditioning and heating bills. If you do not need to buy a new heating and air conditioning unit, but are considering investing in a new furnace, an energy star –labeled furnace can save around 5% in your heating bills if it is installed professionally. Make sure it includes a thermostat you can program to switch the system on or off.

Hi..

The blogger has done a wonderful job of elaborating when to replace or just to go for the repair of the furnace. I had almost forgotten that I myself have to pay attention to the furnace at my place thanks to the writer I'll have it done.

I have been wondering if I should get my furnace repaired or just replace it. My furnace is 17 years old and after reading your article I think I should call in a professional to come take a look at it. I want to make sure it doesn't have a bigger problem before trying to repair it. http://www.proctor-mech.com/services/
ReplyDeleteThey come in a variety of sizes and you will want to buy the one that fits your needs. You will not want a large dryer for an office or kitchen and then be unable to keep the rest of the space dry. To get more info about desiccant air dryers, check this site.
