My gas furnace is at least twenty years old.
That’s how long we’ve lived in our house, and the furnace was already in locale when the people I was with and I moved in.
It wasn’t brand new at the time. We’ve had really few complaints with the unit. I’ve made sure to update air filters every multiple weeks and been conscientious about scheduling professional maintenance in the fall. While I’ve been impressed with the reliability of the gas furnace, I know it’s time to update it. I’ve noticed some deterioration in performance. The furnace now needs to run longer to achieve comfort. It’s using quite a bit more energy, and my heating bills are higher every year. The temperature from one room to another isn’t consistently consistent, and there’s more dust floating around than there used to be. I’m distraught that the gas furnace will fail and be unable to be fixed during the middle of a blizzard. My local part sees extreme Wintertide weather. The two of us often experience dangerously chilly wind chills and an abundance of snow accumulation. There are times when replacing the gas furnace would be difficult and maybe impossible. I don’t want to try to go without heat when the outside temperature is disadvantage twenty degrees. I would much rather schedule the gas furnace updatement project over the summer. I’d appreciate to take my time and choose the ideal make and model to suit our size of home, lifestyle and budget. There are new gas gas furnaces that achieve up to 98% AFUE ratings and offer helpful features such as zone control, Wi-Fi access and stretchy-speed technology.
