Most modern furnaces are designed to last between 10 and 20 years in Ontario. So if you’ve had your furnace for over a decade, it might be time to replace it. However, age is not the only factor used to determine whether a furnace needs to be replaced. Other signs that a furnace may be nearing the end of its life include rooms heating unevenly, a sudden and unexplained spike in your utility bills, visible rust or cracks on the furnace’s surface, humidity problems in your home, or a buzzing or rattling sound coming from your furnace. If any of these signs sound familiar, especially if your furnace is old, it’s likely time to replace it. On the other hand, if your furnace is relatively new and exhibiting any of these signs, then all that might be required is a simple repair. Ultimately, if you’re unsure whether your current furnace should be repaired or replaced, contact AtlasCare today.
