With proper maintenance, a high-quality heating system can last up to 15 years or longer. However, even the best equipment can eventually succumb to the ravages of time and wear and tear and become less reliable and efficient.

The NATE-certified, licensed technicians of Fast Response Heating & Cooling can help you decide whether to repair or replace an aging heater.

We typically recommend a replacement when: 

• You need frequent repairs
• The cost to repair the heater is more than half the cost to replace it
• Your energy bills are steadily increasing
• Heating is inconsistent, with some rooms too hot and others too cold
• You constantly have to adjust the thermostat
• The heater struggles to reach your desired temperature
• The heater constantly makes noise or produces odd smells
• The furnace has a major problem, like a cracked heat exchanger that’s leaking carbon monoxide

If you’re dealing with any of these issues, upgrading to a new heater will likely be the most cost-effective solution.
