Its Never Too Late for Furnace Installation

October 23, 2018

We recognize that once the cooler weather hits, you don’t want to be considering furnace installation. But you can likely concur that installing a new furnace in the winter sounds quite a bit better than the discomfort and potential home damages our Dresden customers face if the furnace isn’t working functioning properly.

In order to give your furnace the longest, most efficient life, McFadden Heating & Cooling recommends annual preventive maintenance. But, even with the best care, a furnace will reach a certain age and it won’t be cost-effective to perform repairs. So, what happens if you find yourself in need of a new furance during the Dresden winter? Don’t panic! Our experts will be here to take care of you, putting your family’s comfort as our top priority.

What factors will help you determine if it’s time for a replacement furnace? First, consider how old your furnace is. If it’s 15 to 20 years old, it’s likely nearing the end of its life span. In most cases, it doesn’t make sense to put money into repairing a furnace that’s so old.

Next, take a look at your energy bills. If they seem higher this season over previous years, your furnace may be struggling. Furnaces lose efficiency after awhile. When this happens, you’ll definitely see an impact on your utility bills.

Another indication that it may be time to replace your furnace is if you’ve had it repaired a number of times. Further repairs may not be the best way to go. It may be in your best interest to replace your furnace with a new, more energy-efficient model. Focusing your money on a new furnace instead of repairs could end up costing you less in the end.

If you have questions on whether it’s time to replace your furnace, just call McFadden Heating & Cooling at 1-866-781-0111 and our team will be happy to take a look and review all of your options—whether that includes a replacement furnace or furnace repair.
