Let\u2019s face it\u2014there\u2019s never a good time for the heat to go out in your Texas home. You certainly don\u2019t want to wait until your heating system stops working for you to realize you need a replacement!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furnaces are not designed to last forever, so it\u2019s helpful to know when you should be replacing it. But how exactly will you know when it\u2019s time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 Signs You May Need a New Furnace<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You may need to replace the furnace<\/a> in your Austin home if any of the signs below are applicable to you. If something rings true, reach out to our Smart Air Cooling & Heating<\/a> furnace experts today to discuss all of your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. You have an older furnace.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if you have properly maintained your furnace, it\u2019s only designed to last so long. In fact, ENERGY STAR\u00ae<\/sup> recommends replacing your furnace if it is greater than 15 years old<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your furnace is near the end of its life span, it\u2019s typically best to replace it sooner rather than later. Otherwise you may end up paying more in repairs over time, and eventually you will still need to buy that new furnace anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Repairs are becoming more frequent.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your furnace should not need to be repaired more than once a year. Ideally, you should not have to repair it, as long you have regular professional maintenance performed as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, repairs can become more common as your furnace ages. This could be increasingly expensive, so if a repair costs at least half the amount of a replacement, you may want to consider buying a new furnace instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Smart Air Cooling & Heating furnace experts are happy to answer all of your questions on repairing and replacing your furnace. We want to help you make the best decision for your comfort and needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Your heating bills are increasing.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you noticed an increase in your utility bill? This could indicate you are due for a new furnace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While newer HVAC systems boast of energy efficiency, older systems are hardly comparable. Even if you don\u2019t notice higher utility expenses, making the switch to a newer system could help you reduce your energy costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Dust is building up more often.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While dust particles can appear in your Texas home no matter how much or often you clean, seeing more dust than usual could signify a problem. You may need to replace or clean your air filter, but if it\u2019s in good condition, then your furnace may not be removing excess in the air or functioning well.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Your home is not heating up properly.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems like an obvious sign, but if your furnace is not warming your Austin home enough, it may be time for a new one. However, it could also be a sign of an air leak or issue with the thermostat.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why you should reach out to one of our Smart Air Cooling & Heating professionals. We have your best interest in mind and can quickly determine the issue with your furnace.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
