Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Heater

Knowing when to replace your heating system can save money, improve comfort, and prevent unexpected breakdowns during Wisconsin's coldest months. While regular maintenance can extend your heater's lifespan, certain warning signs indicate it may be time for a replacement.

One of the most obvious signs to update your heater is its age. Most furnaces last 15 to 20 years, while boilers can last 15 to 30 years, and heat pumps can remain operable for 10 to 15 years. If your system is beyond these periods, give us a call to discuss a replacement. 

Similarly, contact us if you notice:

• Rising energy bills – Older systems lose efficiency and consume more energy to produce the same heat
• Frequent repairs – When repair costs exceed 50% of a replacement system's value, replacement makes financial sense
• Uneven heating – Cold spots or rooms that never seem to warm up properly indicate system inadequacy
• Strange noises – Banging, rattling, or grinding sounds often signal major component failure
• Poor indoor air quality – Excessive dust, humidity issues, or stale air may indicate system problems
• Difficulty maintaining temperature – Systems that struggle to reach or maintain set temperatures are losing effectiveness
• Yellow pilot light flames – In gas systems, yellow flames instead of blue can indicate dangerous combustion issues
• Visible rust or corrosion – Particularly around the heat exchanger in furnaces or boiler components
• A cracked heat exchanger – A serious safety concern that typically requires immediate replacement 
• A leaking boiler – Water leaks around boiler systems often indicate internal component failure 
• Heat pump cycling issues – Frequent on/off cycling or failure to switch between heating and cooling modes

Choosing the Best New Heater for Your Property

Selecting the right replacement heating system involves careful consideration of several key factors. The goal is to find equipment that provides optimal comfort, efficiency, and value for your specific property and lifestyle needs.

Consider the following when exploring options for a new system:

Energy Efficiency 

Modern high-efficiency furnaces, boilers, and heat pumps can significantly reduce monthly energy costs. Look for units with high AFUE ratings for furnaces and boilers, or high HSPF ratings for heat pumps. While these systems may cost more initially, the long-term energy savings often justify the investment.

Proper Sizing

An oversized system will cycle on and off frequently, wasting energy and creating uneven temperatures. An undersized system will struggle to heat your home or commercial building adequately and run constantly, leading to premature wear and high energy bills. Our technicians perform detailed load calculations considering your building's square footage, insulation levels, window efficiency, ceiling height, and local climate conditions to determine the perfect size for your needs.

Fuel Source

Fuel source options in our area typically include natural gas, propane, electricity, and oil. Our experts can help you evaluate fuel availability, costs, and efficiency to determine the best option.
