Is It Time for a New Heater? Key Signs to Watch For

If you are unsure whether your heating system needs a tune-up or needs to be replaced, it may be time to consult with a professional. Typically, if heating units are more than 10-15 years old and are having frequent issues, we recommend a replacement.

Consider these indicators for heater replacement:

  • The cost of repairs: A good rule to keep in mind is that if the cost of repairs is at least half the cost of a new unit, you should consider replacing your heater instead.
  • Rising energy bills: If you've had the same heater for a long time, you'll likely notice your heating bills steadily increase year over year. A new model will be far more energy-efficient, potentially saving you a considerable amount of money over the long run.
  • Strange noises: If you hear banging, buzzing, whistling, or other strange noises coming from your heater, you should at the very least call a professional to take a look. This is likely a sign that a major component has failed or is about to fail.
  • Yellow pilot flame: The pilot light for your heater should only ever burn blue – if you ever see it burning yellow, turn your heater off immediately and call a technician. This is a sign that you're dealing with a carbon monoxide leak.

Installation Timeline: How Long to Expect for Your Santa Fe Furnace Setup

Installing a furnace in Santa Fe takes 1 to 3 days. The time can vary depending on the type of furnace, the complexity of the installation, and the installer's availability. During the installation, the old furnace (if there is one) is removed, and the new furnace is installed, connected to the ductwork, and tested.

Sometimes unexpected problems can arise that can delay the installation. It's a good idea to work with an experienced installer who can give you a more accurate idea of how long your installation will take.

Maintain Your Heater's Performance: The Importance of Regular Maintenance

The best way to maximize the return on investment in your heating system is to keep it in prime condition through regular maintenance. Waiting only to have your heater serviced when it is broken is a sure way to severely reduce both its lifespan and its efficiency to perform its job. The advantages of getting a heating tune up before the cold season hits far outweigh the costs. The costs are themselves offset by avoiding repairs or an untimely system replacement.
