Common Furnace Warning Signs

If your furnace at least ten years old, it’s already at the low range of its average lifespan. If it’s even older but till working fine, consider yourself among the fortunate few.

And yet i “old age” reason enough to replace it?  Not necessarily.  But here are a few other warning signs that might indicate the need for further action.

Rising utility costs
Furnaces gradually lose energy efficiency and, as that happens, utility costs keep rising. The money you’d save by replacing your furnace now would more than cover the cost of your new system.

Mounting repair bills  
Furnaces are like cars. As they age, one repair seems to follow another, and another, and so on. Sooner or later, it’s just not worth the added expense.

Is your furnace making noises?
Older furnaces are known to make their presence not just felt, but heard, with loud noises like banging, popping, rattling, or squealing.  If the noises persist, your system requires professional attention.

Are you colder in some rooms than others?

Uneven air distribution can be caused by several factors, but long-term furnace wear and tear is among them.

And now for the best reason of all to replace your furnace:  you simply want a more reliable and uninterrupted source of lower-cost heat, all winter long.  Well, that’s exactly what Messmer Mechanical can provide.
