Thinking back, the home owner realizes that the current heating and cooling system has been in place for the better part of two decades. There are some signs that the current system will not last for much longer. Being aware of those signs makes it easier to know when to call a contractor and begin checking into options for new Heating Systems. Here are some examples of signs to keep in mind.
Cold Spots in the House
In the past, the house was always warm and comfortable in every room. Even the temperature in areas like the hallway was just fine. The last winter or two that has not been the case. The chances are that the older system is not working as efficiently as it did in the past. The best bet is to talk with a contractor about some of the newer Heating Systems on the market now and arrange to install a new one before the next winter rolls around. Doing so will ensure every area of the house is warm and cozy no matter what is happening outside.
Power Bills are Increasing
If the monthly power bill is going up, but the power company has not increased the rates, something has changed about the amount of power the household uses. After eliminating other causes, it makes sense to assume that the heating unit is consuming more energy. A professional can run a couple of tests and determine if this is the case. Unless the situation can be remedied with a simple and inexpensive repair, it may be time to invest in a new unit.
The Unit Makes a Lot of Noises
The heating system used to run quietly, but that has changed. There are specific sounds it makes when cycling up and down. During operation, there is a slight rattling sound that is just enough to be annoying. If repairs are going to be expensive, it may be best to use the money to invest in a brand new system. This is especially true if the present system is getting up and years and is not expected to last much longer.
