At Climate Mechanical Solutions, we often come across numerous misconceptions individuals have regarding furnace replacement. Far too many believe their furnace is a piece of equipment that will serve them relentlessly, with minimal maintenance, for an unlimited period. However, this is far from the truth. In this blog post, we’ll debunk some common myths around furnace replacement.
Myth 1: Updating Your Thermostat is Enough For Efficiency
Investing in a modern, programmable thermostat is great. However, if it is attached to an aging, inefficient furnace, your energy savings will be negligible. A new thermostat offers better control and may slightly improve the system’s efficiency but doesn’t substitute for a new, efficient furnace. Remember, a furnace and a thermostat work together, one cannot compensate for the other’s insufficiency.
Myth 2: Furnace Replacement Can Happen Anytime
Strategically timing your furnace replacement could maximize your benefits. Wouldn’t you want to replace your furnace during off-peak seasons when professionals have fewer appointments, rather than in the throes of winter when everyone is rushing to get their furnace fixed or replaced? Moreover, this allows you to thoroughly search for the best professionals or deals available.
Myth 3: Your Furnace Has The Same Lifespan As Your Home
Unlike the physical structure of your home, a furnace has a defined lifespan – removing the notion that your home and furnace age together. While some homes may still have their original furnaces, it doesn’t correlate with the efficiency and safety of the furnace. According to Studies by The Department of Energy, a furnace generally lasts between 15 to 30 years, depending on its use and maintenance.
Myth 4: All Heating Services Provide Same Furnace Installation
This is far from the truth. Not all services provide the same quality of installation. Climate Mechanical Solutions emphasizes the importance of choosing professionals like us, who can cater to the unique requirements of your individual home and ensure the proper installation of your furnace.
