The perks of upgrading to a new furnace
Besides getting rid of that ghastly, energy-guzzling nightmare in your basement, there can be many perks of ditching that old gas furnace and going with a new one – particularly if your old furnace is over 20 years old. From efficiency potential to home comfort features – a brand-new gas furnace has many perks that weren’t around even 10 years ago.
Here are some big benefits of buying a new gas furnace.
- Efficiency boost. Here’s the big benefit – a boost in efficiency. The more energy efficient your gas furnace, the less money you will spend on heating during the winter. In some cases, this can more than recoup the costs of purchasing a brand-new system.
- Comfort upgrade. Systems now contain features that help stabilize comfort throughout your entire home (like variable-speed operation and zoning systems). Have cold spots? It’s probably not a ghost, just uneven comfort. You can remedy this through a zoning system, variable-speed operation or different heating stages.
- Catch any kinks. This is also a good time to examine your whole-home heating and cooling system to make sure that everything is working properly. Make sure that when your contractor is giving you an estimate for a new system, they check out the duct work as well.
These are just a few perks of replacing your old, rickety gas furnace with something newer. Ultimately, those out-of-pocket costs will seem like a great investment after you get that first gas bill back.
Have you recently replaced your gas furnace? How does the new model compare to the old model?
Before winter hits, I’d like to replace my furnace. I like how you mention that after you replace your furnace, you’ll have a boost in efficiency and possibly will spend less money than you did before. I think this will be really great in the winter because I know that we can turn up the heat and it will definitely keep us warm.
I love how you mentioned that by upgrading to a new, more energy efficient heating system you can save money, especially in the winter. My cousin just moved to Iowa, where the winters can be kind of long, and she’s looking for an inexpensive way to keep her house warm during the winter. I’m sure she would benefit from having a professional come and talk to her about potential upgrades she could benefit from.
I really liked what you said about how replacing your furnace will upgrade the comfort level of your home, especially in winter. My husband and I discovered our furnace is over twice as old as we are, so we are looking to replace it as soon as possible. The increase in even temperature in the house sounds wonderful.
That is a good point that the more energy efficient a gas furnace is, the less money that I will have to spend. Maybe it would be a good idea to get a new furnace installed. Then I could get the benefits of a new furnace and start over with maintenance.
I’ll definitely get a new heating system such as a furnace since it will boost the efficiency of heating around my house. Hopefully, it will make the house comfortable after I upgrade the furnace. If in case there are any repairs needed in the heating and cooling system, I’ll be able to catch any kinks that are there as well.
Our furnace has been making strange noises recently. I really appreciate your information about how a new furnace can help. We’ll start looking into furnace repair, but maybe replacing it would be our best option.
Thank you for explaining how getting a new furnace can help to increase the efficiency of your home. I am wanting to make my home more efficient. I will look into getting a new furnace installed.
I like how you said that a new furnace can give you the benefit of saving money since new furnaces have new technologies. My mom told me that she could not sleep last night due to the cold weather. I will help her contact a professional company that can install a new furnace in her house because the one that she has might be broken.
