Is your heating system starting to show its age? You can’t afford to be without a working heating unit in the middle of a Virginia winter. So, if you feel it’s time for a replacement, don’t delay. Here are some common signs you’ll want to consider:
If your home isn’t reaching desired temperatures, takes forever to warm up, or has temperature inconsistencies, then it may be time to consider a replacement. Also, if you find that you’re constantly having to repair your unit, it’s likely more cost-effective to replace the entire system.
If your heating system is 15-20 years old or showing signs of wear and tear like rust, cracks, corrosion, or unusual noises, it might be nearing the end of its lifespan and require replacement.
Carbon monoxide leaks, indicated by symptoms like headaches, dizziness, or nausea, can be deadly. A carbon monoxide detector is essential for early detection. Additionally, a pilot light that frequently goes out might signal a more serious issue and should be addressed promptly.
An old heating system might struggle to maintain adequate humidity levels, leading to dry air. Additionally, increased allergies or dust could be linked to the system’s inefficiency.
