If you are thinking about buying a new furnace, you probably have a lot of questions. Here at Afterglow, we have 3 questions for you:
1) Will a new furnace save you money?
The initial purchase of a new unit can seem expensive, but there are ways of calculating your energy costs. Sometimes you can save enough on energy bills to make a new furnace a good bargain!
2) Will it make you more comfortable?
How comfortable are you now? Do all the rooms in your house get adequate and even heat? If you and your family are complaining about too much cold or heat, it is worthwhile to invest in a better system so that your home is comfortable for the long winter months ahead.
3) Is there a safety risk with the old one?
Sometimes units need to be replaced because they are outdated. This doesn’t just mean that they are probably eating up more energy, it also means that there may be worn out parts which increase the risk of a breakdown. Just like replacing smoke detectors and other safety equipment, we also need to replace old furnaces.
At Afterglow, we see furnaces that look terrible: rusty, and damaged beyond repair. Those are the kinds of units which need to be replaced. Others look good and just need some tender love and care. That’s also why it’s a good idea to keep your furnace tuned up and in good repair to make it last longer. Yearly tune-ups and changing the air filters monthly, are just some of the ways you can keep your furnace running smoothly.
Call Afterglow to see what shape your furnace is in. We’ll be happy to provide whatever service your old unit needs or help you determine if it’s time for a new one. We can help you find the best furnace to fit your home and your budget.
Stay warm!
