How can you tell if you should get a new furnace? A total breakdown makes this decision an easy one. But there are other signs that it’s time to give Chesterfield Service to start the furnace installation process.

Your Furnace Is More Than 15 Years Old

Furnaces can last for up to 20 years or more. However, when they’re around 15 years old or more, they’re more likely to show signs of serious wear and tear. At that point, you’re taking a chance of having your furnace break down on you or end up with serious issues. We can let you know how old your furnace is if you’re not sure.

Your Furnace Needs Frequent or Expensive Repairs

You don’t have to keep spending money having one repair after another done on your furnace. Replacing a furnace that keeps needing repairs, especially costly ones, can help you save money. Call us to inspect your furnace and we can tell you what is broken and if it makes more sense to replace your furnace instead of continuing to repair it. 

Your Furnace Isn’t Heating Your Home Evenly

A furnace that’s seen better days might have trouble heating your home evenly. Are some rooms colder than others? If airflow coming from your vents is particularly low, then your old furnace could be the culprit. A new furnace will be able to keep all parts of your home warm.

Carbon Monoxide Leak

If there are any signs of rust or damage on your furnace, you should replace it right away. A damaged furnace, specifically if the heat exchanger is cracked, could put you in danger. Cracked heat exchangers and damaged furnaces are common causes of carbon monoxide poisoning in homes which can cause serious health problems and even death if you are exposed to CO for too long. Don’t risk your health! Replace your furnace right away. 

Energy Bills Are Skyrocketing

A good furnace heats your St. Charles home efficiently. If yours is older, it won’t be as efficient, which leads to high energy bills. If you’ve noticed that your heating bills are going way up, even if you’ve had furnace repairs, you should consider installing a new furnace. New furnaces can heat homes much more efficiently, so you can lower your heating bills and keep your home warm.

When you need a new heating system, you don’t have to wait until you can afford to purchase the entire thing. Chesterfield Service offers financing options for those who qualify to make the furnace installation process move faster. You can enjoy the heat in your home while making monthly payments. 

There are also many tax incentives and rebates available for homeowners that upgrade their furnaces to a more efficient model. The finance team at Chesterfield Service can help you navigate through the process to help you save the most money possible. Contact us today to see how we can help.
