Older Heating Systems Vs. Contemporary Models
The concept of heating systems is similar today than it was twenty years ago. There have been, however, improvements to the idea, the components, and new technologies have helped the systems heat your home more effectively and evenly. HVAC has greatly benefited by technology. Some of the newer components include variable speed handler and the advent of dual stage heating. This means heaters can operate at a low or high setting instead of operating in only one setting. This is part of what helps the system be more energy efficient, as it is not always operating at full speed. Today’s thermostats are also incredibly efficient and give you tremendous control of your home’s temperature.
If your furnace has recently stopped working, you may be wondering whether it is time to replace the heater or simply repair the old one. Here are some things to consider:
- What is the age of the furnace?
- Has maintenance been consistent?
- What are your current heating needs?
- Are your energy bills rising?
- Do you notice that different rooms vary in temperature?
- Is there a lot of noise coming from your furnace?
If the furnace is more than fifteen years old, you might best consider replacing it with a new unit. Chances are a heater that has been running for more than fifteen years will not have a whole lot of juice left in it. It might be on its last legs. At the same time, a new HVAC system or furnace will likely lower your energy bills and heat your home much more effectively.
Choosing The Right Unit For Your Home
Every situation is different. Every home is different. For example, a two-story and single-story home might have different considerations when it comes to HVAC. A small home versus a big home will also have different HVAC needs. You can also consider whether you are living in an older or new home and how this might affect your heating needs.
