Is your furnace good for one more season, or can you
expect a collapse at the most inopportune (AKA coldest) moment possible? This
is what a lot of homeowners wonder when they’ve been patching the same system
for several years now. But here’s another question to consider: what could you
expect if you made the decision to upgrade to a new furnace now?
Confidence is the main answer. There’s just
something very “worry-free” about feeling that chill in the air and knowing
that your thermostat is about to trigger all those wonderful operational sounds
you’ve come to recognize as heat on its way. And pretty soon you’re wrapped in
warmth and comfort.
You’ve also got the confidence that hidden problems
in an old furnace aren’t about to create very real trouble in your indoor air –
especially through dangerous carbon monoxide leaks.
Then there’s improved energy efficiency. Instead of
cautiously keeping your thermostat set just outside your comfort range – in
order to save energy dollars – a new system keeps you comfortable and saves on
your energy bills.
Time takes a toll on our household systems. If you’d
