Homeowners should expect to replace their furnace every 18 to 20 years. This is considered the average lifetime of most furnaces; although, maintenance may extend the life of some furnaces, and others may not last quite as long.

According to the US Department of Energy, 42% of your energy use each year is for heating your home. A key factor in how much energy you use is what type of heating system you have.

Just when you thought it was going to stay mild, the temperature has dipped and now it’s below zero. You flip the switch for the furnace only to find that it’s blowing cold air. Now, it feels colder inside than it does outside.

When temperatures drop, the furnace in your home quickly becomes one of the most important appliances. A faulty furnace can cause an uncomfortable climate in your home or, even worse, put everyone inside your house in danger.

It won’t be long before winter gets here. With it will come the cold weather and the need to run your furnace more often. While this is a great way to keep you home warm and comfortable, it can also have an impact on your heating bill.

Over time, your heating system will start to lose its efficiency and the cost of repairs will start to pile up. If you feel like your HVAC unit needs constant repairs, it might be best if you invest in a new one.
