Too often, homeowners tend to neglect their furnace needs until it is too late. But, unfortunately, just like any other household appliance, home heating systems do not last forever. Typically, a furnace can last up to 15-20 years with proper maintenance; however, if you are contemplating whether or not to invest in a new furnace, our NATE- Certified technicians at Clayton-Englewood Heating & Cooling have your back. They have compiled a few reasons why you should upgrade your residential furnace before winter hits.

Untimely Breakdown

Unfortunately, we can’t control when the final day for our home heating system will be; however, we can control when we invest in a new one. One of the worst things that can happen is being stuck in a cold house in the dead of winter, trying to figure out how to keep you and your family warm. Our experts at Clayton-Englewood Heating & Cooling suggest getting a Furnace Tune-Up + Safety Check at the beginning of fall, and if all moving parts are not up to five-star standards, fall is the perfect time to replace your home heating system.  

Upgraded Technology 

Another reason to replace and upgrade your home heating system is due to the overall efficiency of your current furnace. In most cases, homeowners have the original furnace installed at the construction of the home. However, with technology constantly evolving, furnaces are being designed and manufactured today that emphasize energy efficiency. This gives homeowners the option to create a schedule for their home heating needs while saving money on utility bills. In addition to using less energy, these systems are more powerful, run quieter, and can be connected to smart devices to set temperatures away from home. 

A Fresh Start

Lastly, when investing in a new and upgraded furnace, you get a fresh start regarding the manufactures warranty, especially if you are not the original owner of the house. This allows homeowners to start anew on the regular annual maintenance that needs to be done, keeping your warranty intact. On top of that, a brand new furnace seldom breaks down, meaning that homeowners shouldn’t have to do any significant repairs on their new furnace for the first few years, saving you time and money.
