Winter weather is just around the corner, and households need to get ready for colder days in Schaumburg, IL. One of the best ways to prepare is to ensure your home’s heating system works its best. The last thing you want is for it to break down during a snowstorm or in the middle of the coldest night of the year. If your heating system had any of these problems last season, it might be time to consider investing in a heating system replacement.

High Heating Costs

If your heating bill steadily rises or skyrockets without reason, it’s likely your heating system is the culprit. As systems get older, they require more effort to deliver expected results. The harder the system works, the less efficient it becomes, resulting in higher electrical or gas bills. When you upgrade an older system, climate control becomes easier and less expensive.

Your System Needs Frequent Repairs

Do you need repairs on your heating system every year? While heating systems need some TLC and tune-ups here and there, if you’ve become best buddies with your local HVAC technician, this is a problem. The more money you put into repairs is less money you have to spend on heating system replacement. The best option would be to start shopping for a new system before your current one goes kaput.

You Have an Older Heating System

If you’re experiencing any of the problems mentioned above, consider the age of your heating system. Some homes in the area have heating systems near the 25-year mark. That’s considered ancient for a heating system. Most heaters last between 15-25 years before they need to be replaced. So, if you need a lot of repairs in a short time or experiencing higher-than-normal heating costs and your heater is nearing the end of its lifespan, heating system replacement is the most cost-effective option.

Making a heating system replacement decision isn’t always easy. At Ray’s HVAC, we understand it’s a substantial financial investment. Call us today to learn more about your heating options!
