Keys to Buying a Replacement Furnace in Jasper, Lamar or Odon

How’s your Jasper furnace holding up these days?

If it’s running smoothly, you want it keep it that way.  Which means that if you haven’t had yours professionally maintained within the past year, you should schedule a multi-point tune-up and inspection now.  It’s your best assurance of worry-free operation.  During the inspection, your qualified HVAC technician will be on the lookout for signs of wear and tear and repair problems in the making.  Better to spot them now before things can potentially get worse.

Equally important, annual maintenance includes safety checks, as well, including potential or existing carbon monoxide or gas leaks.  Both of these, as you know, can be very dangerous.

Are You Considering a Replacement Furnace in Jasper?

Here are four good reasons why it might be time to consider replacing your current heating system:

• Energy costs keep climbing from year to year, and now from month to month
• You have uneven temperatures from room to room
• You have to keep turning the thermostat up higher to reach the desired temperature
• System repairs are becoming more frequent and more costly
• Your system is at least 12 years old, as the average life expectancy is 15 – 20 years.

Should you decide to replace, you’ll have a better experience and end result when you take the following factors into account:

What are Your Priorities?

If lowering your energy bill, for example, is at or near the top of the list, then you want an Energy Star system with a high AFUE rating, with 95% being about the highest.  Lower energy costs can also be achieved through zoning and with a programmable thermostat to regulate temperatures in different parts of your home and at different times of day.

Length & Type of Guarantees.

In addition to manufacturer warranties, ask your professional HVAC company about their guarantees and other assurances.  And get it all in writing.

Referrals and Customer Reviews

A qualified, experienced, and reputable contractor will be happy to share customer referrals with you, so don’t be afraid to ask.  You can also check out their customer ratings, through Google Reviews, Yelp, Angie’s List, and other online rating services.

Consider the Whole System

Buying a new furnace is much more involved than swapping out one box for another.  The new system needs to be properly sized to ensure maximum energy efficiency and long-term operation.  Your ducts need to be checked for cracks and leaks.  Your home also needs to be checked for air loss through windows, doors, your attic, etc. to once again ensure optimum system performance.
