5 Signs It’s Time To Upgrade Your Home Heating Unit

How old is your Home Heating Unit? If you answered more than 10-years old, then it might be time to consider an upgrade. Other than age, there are many more reasons to replace your heating unit. Upgrading your heating system will benefit you, your home, and your wallet! Around 40% of the energy your home uses, comes from your heating unit. Read below to learn if it’s time for you to get an upgrade. 

5 Signs You’re Ready For An Upgrade

1. Check For Leaks: Check for any unwanted leaks or cracks that may be causing your home to lack heat. You can look for leaks near the bottom of your heating unit. Condensation will build-up in the pipes, creating leaks. This step is important because a personal assessment should be made before spending money and calling someone. By simply having the proper insulation in your home you could be saving yourself a lot of time and will prevent any leaks. 
2. Higher Bills: Have you noticed a rise in your energy bill? Don’t be quick to blame it on the cold and the increase of heat. Your HVAC could not be working optimally, thus working harder and causing higher bills. You may need to run an energy assessment to see if your heating system is using the correct amount of energy. 
3. Inconsistent Temperature: Ever notice an inconsistent temperature throughout your home? This could be due to an old and overused heating system. Dirty or outdated heat and air filtration systems hold back air and prevent complete airflow, resulting in rooms having different temperatures. 
4. Loud & Noisy: Loud noises coming from your HVAC is not normal and usually means it needs to be upgraded or checked out by a pro. 
5. Hire a Pro: Hire a professional to reinstall, fix, clean, and upgrade your HVAC to ensure that you are spending the right amount of money and getting the right amount of heat.
