There are a variety of things to keep in mind when planning a heating replacement.

When to Consider a Heating System Replacement

There’s nothing worse than turning on your heater on a chilly winter day only to find out it’s not working. As one of the most important pieces of equipment in your home, it is imperative that you keep tabs on the efficiency and performance of your heater. You should also know how to spot issues and determine when to replace instead of repair.

A heating replacement would make sense under the following circumstances:

  1. Your heating unit is outdated.

HVAC equipment typically has a lifespan of 15 to 20 years. Some heating systems can last longer than others, especially with proper maintenance, but it’s still important to keep an eye on the health of your heater and replace it before it completely gives out.

  1. Your heater makes strange noises.

Unusual noises coming from your heating system could be a sign of a serious and potentially dangerous problem. If you hear a loud bang after turning on your furnace, you’re probably dealing with a cracked heat exchanger, which could lead to a dangerous gas or carbon monoxide leak.

  1. Your heating system is running in short, frequent cycles.

After you turn on your heater, does it run for a few minutes, stop, and then start up again? This is called “short-cycling” and is a sign of poor HVAC health. You should have a professional look at your heater as soon as possible and, if necessary, replace it.

  1. You’re constantly tweaking the thermostat.

Do you find yourself adjusting your thermostat frequently? If you have to fiddle with the thermostat constantly to find the right setting, your heating system could be having efficiency issues, which is usually a sign of a much bigger problem.

  1. You keep on paying for costly repairs.

Even the most reliable heating systems will wear out and require some maintenance. As your system gets older, though, the breakdowns can become more frequent and rack up the repair costs. If the repairs are getting more and more expensive, it’s probably time to upgrade.

  1. Your family doesn’t feel well or has headaches when at home.

If your heat exchanger is broken, carbon monoxide can leak into your home and make you and your family sick. If this is the case, you should schedule a heating replacement as soon as possible.

Whether you need to replace a failing heater or simply want to upgrade to a more powerful and energy-efficient model, give the HVAC professionals at Blake Brothers a call!

 

Choosing the Right Heating System for Your Home

There are plenty of options for a new heating system, but furnaces and heat pumps are two of the most popular choices among homeowners due to their scalability, which allows them to match the needs of any size home.

Furnaces

A furnace can be either gas, oil, or electric. Of the three, a gas furnace is considered the most cost-effective and energy-efficient.

One very important factor to consider when shopping for a replacement furnace is its annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE). This is a rating that indicates a furnace’s efficiency in turning fuel into usable heat. The higher the AFUE rating, the less you pay for energy. The best gas furnaces can get an AFUE rating of 98%, but these systems can be very expensive.

Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are another viable option for heating replacement. They work similarly to central air conditioners in that they draw heat from the outside air to both cool and warm a building. Again, make sure your heat pump is the right size for your home, and if possible, choose one with a high energy efficiency rating to save more on your heating costs.

 

Our Heating Replacement Process

The first thing we do when we arrive in your home for a heating replacement job is to inspect your set-up and determine what type of heating system will work best for you. We’ll calculate your home’s heat load to find out how powerful a system you need, and then we’ll check your home’s ductwork, air handler, and chimney flue to see if any work needs to be done to accommodate a new heating system.

When it’s time to install your new heating system, we’ll dismantle the old one and get to work putting in the replacement. Depending on the extent of the required changes, the process can take anywhere from one to two days.

Blake Brothers Plumbing, Electrical, Heating & Air will be there for you whenever you need a new heating system in Huntsville, Athens, Madison, Decatur, or the surrounding areas. One of our highly skilled technicians will come to your house to assess your needs, work with you to choose the best replacement option, and complete the installation as quickly and efficiently as possible.
