How to Know When I Need a New Furnace?

One of the worse things that can happen to you and your family is being without heat when winter weather comes. That’s why it’s crucial to know when you need to replace your old furnace with a new one, so you can avoid the frustration and have peace of mind knowing your home will be nice and toasty no matter how cold it gets outside.

Indications You Need a New Furnace

Your heating system is emitting strange noises, such as thumping, scraping, popping and high-pitched squealing. This could be signs that it has an unbalanced or broken blower wheel, the fan belt requires lubrication or it has a blockage. These issues might be more apparent in an older furnace and needs the attention of an experienced HVAC technician.

The pilot light has a yellowish-orange glow instead of burning a solid blue color. This could suggest that your device is generating carbon monoxide poisoning. Dark patches of soot along the sides or at the top of the flue is another sign that this odorless gas is tainting the air.

Your heating bill seems to increase each month. The consequence of a failing furnace is that it takes more energy for it to perform its duties than previously. Faulty parts, debris, and worn-out seals can result in it being less proficient while costing you more money.
