Of all the home service needs that homeowners wait on addressing, replacing an old furnace makes the top of the list. As long as it\u2019s not completely broken down and provides some <\/em>heat, it\u2019s fine, right? You\u2019ve been able to rely on that thing since before social media was invented\u2014so no reason to make a switch! Or is there?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Little do most folks know\u2026as much as 40% of that old furnace\u2019s energy could be wasted. That means your furnace is costing you extra <\/em>money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have some great news! Barron Heating is once again offering a Pay Back Program<\/a> where you can earn up to $1,000 in combined savings with the purchase of a new high efficiency furnace. The older your furnace, the more you\u2019ll save. Today\u2019s high efficiency furnaces are rated 95% or higher, turning almost all <\/em>the energy they generate into heat for your home. Talk about a true return on investment! If you’re wondering how efficiency ratings impact your heating costs, check out decoding furnace efficiencies<\/a> to better understand your system’s performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not convinced you need an upgrade? Keep reading to learn why replacing your furnace may be the most practical and economical solution.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Your Furnace is 15+ Years Old<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you take great care of your furnace\u2014scheduling maintenance<\/a> once a year, changing its air filter every one to three months, getting repairs done ASAP when needed\u2014then it can run for decades. The problem is, that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean it will run well. <\/em>Operating a heating system past its prime only allows wear and tear to set in and efficiency to drop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You Constantly Need Furnace Repairs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If this is the case, you already know your equipment is getting pretty costly to keep up. A newer furnace should only need a component replacement or minor repair every two to three years. If you find yourself calling for repairs every two to three months, <\/em>instead, then it\u2019s time to consider whether or not you\u2019re making a wise financial investment. If you’re unsure whether to repair or replace, when is it time to replace your furnace?<\/a> can help you determine the best course of action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You Hear Strange Noises Coming from the Equipment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In some cases, particularly with newer furnaces, a strange sound may just indicate that you need a small repair. For instance, if you hear a scraping or grinding sound, it might be that the lubrication has worn down on the blower fan\u2019s motor bearings. This is a simple fix for our technicians!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s concerning, however, is when an aging furnace makes sudden or loud noises that you\u2019ve never heard before. This can include squealing, screeching, heavy rattling, or even banging. If you\u2019ve had repairs done in the past and you\u2019re still hearing these noises, it\u2019s time to make the switch!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you can get paid back<\/em> for upgrading with Barron, and<\/em> upgrade to a furnace that\u2019s going to cost you a lot less to operate month-to-month, there\u2019s no reason not <\/em>to upgrade. Our team of Home Performance Experts is happy to answer any questions you may have about your current furnace or about replacing with a higher efficiency system. But don\u2019t wait too long! Barron Heating\u2019s Pay Back Program<\/a> is going on now, giving you a chance to maximize your savings on a new furnace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
