Top Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Heating System

During the winter in Central Pennsylvania, your heating equipment is not only responsible for keeping things cozy, but its performance also affects your household spending. Today, high-efficiency heating systems have proven their value in operation, safety, and cost savings. With warmer weather around the corner, now is the time to reflect on how your heating system performed this year. How can you tell when it’s officially time to retire your existing system for a newer model? Read this blog from Eshenaurs to find out.

Strange Noises or Smells

Over the heating season, if you heard abnormal humming, banging, or clunking coming from the furnace or boiler, or experienced strange odors, it may be time to upgrade your system.

Uneven Heating

If you noticed that your heat was unable to effectively reach all areas of your home equally, that can indicate the decline of your equipment’s operation capabilities.

High Energy Bills

Did you have to deal with sky-high heating bills this past winter? If the weather wasn’t too extreme, and your household size didn’t increase, your system is likely experiencing decreased fuel economy.

Dusty or Dry Air

Would you say the air in your home felt comfortable, or was it dry and dusty? Poor humidity regulation can be a result of an ineffective heating system. While regular maintenance will improve this, over time, a replacement is the best solution.

Increased Repair Frequency

Did you have to shell out a lot of money on heating repairs this year? Upgrade your system, and you’ll surely save money next year with a new, fully functional, high-efficiency heating system.
