Unlike certain things- wine, cheese…. furnaces do not get better with time. Though 14 or 20 may not seem like old ages to you, a furnace’s typical lifespan in only about that long, 14-20 years (if it is well maintained).
Hopefully this will get you thinking. Is your furnace too old? Have you not replaced it since your bought your house 15 years ago? Then it probably is. The good news is that furnaces are more energy efficient today than 15 years ago, so a new furnace will end up saving you more money on your heating bills.
Also remember than in someways 14-20 years may not seem like a long time, but it is still a fairly length investment. Though some really energy efficient furnaces may seem a little pricey, the savings it gives you could really add up during its lifespan.
So start thinking about how old your furnace may be…. Contact Flame with any Questions!
