3 Signs You Need to Upgrade Your Heater
If you have a heater that is on its last leg you will want to get a replacement sooner than later for the sake of your comfort in your wallet. Here is how to tell that the time has come to upgrade your system.
- Your energy bills are too high: Your energy bills will fluctuate with how much you use your heater but if they have been consistently high despite the fact that your use of your heater has not changed or even has lessened it may be a sign that something is seriously wrong with your heating system. If you were getting high energy bills despite the fact that you have gotten regular maintenance and timely repairs it is likely that your system simply needs to retire.
- Your system is too old: Age is just a number but it is one that counts when it comes to your heating system. Heaters won’t last forever. Most systems are built to last between 10 to 15 years. If your heater is within this range or has even surpassed that 15-year mark you are better off hunting for a new system to install in your home.
- Your repair needs are too much: Repairs are normal. It is the frequency of them that should be concerning. If you have a well-maintained heater then you should not need repairs more than once every few years. If your heating system has needed repairs on a yearly or almost yearly basis it is probably time to replace the system. If your repair needs have gotten far too expensive as well, then it also means it is time for a replacement.
