I’ve been looking into buying a new furnace for my home.
My current heating system is over twenty years old.
It makes a lot of noise whenever it starts up and runs more often and longer than it used to. The furnace is no longer putting out as much air but definitely adding a lot more dust into the home. The temperature from one room to another is very inconsistent, and the whole home tends to feel chilly on especially cold nights. No matter how high I adjust the thermostat, the furnace can’t keep up with demand. My monthly heating bills have grown steadily higher, and the system requires several small repairs every year. The cost of the parts and labor is adding up quickly. Because our winters are extremely long, cold and snowy, the heating system is especially important. We rely on the furnace for at least eight months. If our heater should fail during a January blizzard, we could really be in trouble. My family could not get along without heat. There would be a very real possibility of our water pipes freezing, bursting and causing extensive damage and expense. It’s definitely time to upgrade the furnace. I am hoping to schedule the installation of a new heating system over the summer. I want to take my time researching different HVAC companies and various makes and models of furnaces. There are options now that achieve 98% efficiency ratings and include all sorts of convenient and cost-saving features. I am willing to pay more for zone control, multi stage filtration, humidity control, adaptable-speed technology and wifi accessibility. The lower monthly energy bills will help to recover the investment into a new furnace.
