Your furnace is essential in heating your home to improve your comfort. However, over time its efficiency lowers due to wear and tear. Here are a few ways to determine if you need to replace your furnace in Rogers, AR.
Age
As your furnace ages, its efficiency decreases due to increased wear and tear. Old furnaces fail to heat your home consistently, leading to cold and hot spots. Replacing your old furnace, preferably after 15 to 20 years of use, will help improve your home comfort.
High Utility Bills
Old and poorly maintained furnaces strain to heat your home, resulting in high energy bills. Replacing your furnace will help you save money on utility bills.
Increased Repairs
You may need to replace your furnace if it requires frequent repairs. Repairs are costly, and you may end up spending more money on repairs than you would on a new furnace. Increased repairs also reduce the lifespan of your furnace.
Strange Noises
You may notice your furnace making strange popping, rattling or banging noises. These noises usually cause disruption in your home and are a sign you may require a new furnace. Replacing your furnace will improve your comfort, especially while you sleep at night.
Yellow Burner Flame
A normal burner flame is usually blue. A yellow burner flame is a sign that your furnace is producing carbon monoxide. This gas is dangerous in increased concentration and may lead to death.
A yellow flame also indicates incomplete combustion and signs of leaks. Having your furnace replaced will improve your home safety.
