Five Signs You Need Heater Replacement
1. The thermostat stops working - the thermostat’s main job is to tell your HVAC system how much heat to produce. If you have to turn your thermostat higher and higher to heat your home even a little bit, that is a definite sign that your furnace needs to be assessed and probably repaired. Malfunctions with this component often occur due to electrical issues like blown fuses, loose wiring or tripped circuit breakers. Because of the risk for shock, they can be a bit dangerous to fix - so contact our San Jose heater replacement experts.
2. Utility bills on the rise - all HVAC units become less efficient as time goes on. What this means is that your indoor air temperature will be fine, but your heater will need more oil or gas to achieve the same level of output and that'll cost you on your utility bills.
3. Old age - heaters can last for a couple of decades. If your unit is much older than that and working just fine, then you're lucky. But if your unit is old and breaking down, we invite you to consult with our Silicon Valley and San Jose heater replacement specialists before sinking more money into a dying unit.
4. Repair after repair - while our heater repair technicians will always be available to service your unit, you shouldn't be seeing them every season. At some point, another repair call is going to be more expensive when a new unit is on the horizon - so make the upgrade sooner rather than later.
5. A very expensive repair - if there is a repair that costs half of what a new unit costs, you should consider heater replacement instead.
What Is the Life Expectancy of a Heating System?
The lifespan of a heating system can vary depending on various factors such as its type, maintenance, installation quality, and environmental conditions.
- Type of System: Different heating systems have different lifespans. For instance, traditional furnaces typically last around 15-20 years, boilers can last 15 years or more with proper maintenance, heat pumps generally have a lifespan of 10-15 years, and electric baseboard heaters can last 20 years or more.
- Maintenance: Regular maintenance is essential for prolonging the lifespan of a heating system. Consistent upkeep, including annual inspections, cleaning, and timely replacement of worn parts, can prevent breakdowns and extend the system's lifespan.
- Installation Quality: The quality of the initial installation also plays a significant role. A correctly installed system is less likely to encounter problems and can last longer than one that was installed incorrectly.
- Environmental Conditions: Factors like climate and air quality can impact the lifespan of a heating system. Systems in harsh climates or areas with poor air quality may experience more wear and tear, leading to a shorter lifespan.
In summary, while there are general estimates for the lifespan of various heating systems, individual circumstances greatly influence the actual duration. Regular maintenance and careful attention to system care can help maximize its lifespan.
