Is it time to replace your furnace? It could be good for your wallet and your health.

It’s probably not a welcome expense, but replacing your furnace can benefit your overall utility budget and possibly your health.

No one likes to spend money when they don’t need to, but even if your furnace is “running fine,” a newer model could be a wise investment. Units older than 15 likely operate at little more than ½ of their efficiency. So, just as much hot air is leaving your home as it is coming in. It’s just like burning money. Albuquerque Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling try everything we can not to replace a furnace. Unfortunately, it is sometimes the best or only option. Here are some things to consider before making this big decision.

Potential Savings Benefits

It is estimated that a new, efficient furnace can save an average of $300-500 per year for the homeowner. So, your initial investment will be returned in monthly energy savings within a few years. The newer heat pump systems could save you even more as they don’t run on conventional fuel.

Potential Health Benefits

Older units can be a possible health hazard. Cracks, leaks, and rusted points of contact can all contribute to poor air quality in your home. Besides being a danger of carbon monoxide, these particles in the air can cause or worsen allergies, coughs/colds, and respiratory problems.

Potential Comfort Benefits

A new system (combined with the proper ductwork and insulation) can improve the overall comfort of your home. No more rooms that are too hot or too cold. A nice, even temperature can be achieved for the whole home. Then, there is the added convenience of the highly user-friendly controls that the newer models have. This makes adjusting and maintaining the temperature of your home simple.
