Time to Say Goodbye
Before the weather outside gets frightful, you should start thinking about
how you’re going to keep warm when it does. If you have a furnace,
you’re probably thinking you’re all set, but not so fast.
Furnaces, like everything else, don’t last forever. You don’t
want this to be the time of year when yours decides it’s ready to
go. Fortunately for you, there are normally some warning signs you can
look out for that let you know when it’s time to put in a call for
a furnace replacement.
Age: Furnaces normally last 16-20 years. If yours falls within that, or is
older, you never know when it’s going to stop working so you might
want to get it replaced before it does.
Strange
noises: You may think it’s normal, but it’s not. If you hear something
abnormally loud coming from your furnace, that’s not a good sign.
Higher
gas
and
electric
bills: It could be because of higher rates, but if yours is the only one going
up it’s probably a furnace issue. As they age, they lose efficiency
which means they’re working harder and running longer, but still
providing the same amount of heat. This results in you paying more money.
More
dust: Older units can’t moisturize and clean the air in your home so
if you see more dust than usual, cracked furniture, or drooping plants
it’s more than likely your aging system.

you. Call Arco today!
