We’re Leaders in Furnace Installation Service

We offer a variety of furnace services to all of our clients. From heating repair service to general maintenance, we can do it all. One of the most popular heating services we offer is furnace installation and furnace replacement. However, it can be difficult to know when exactly your unit needs to be replaced. As a result, some people wait until it’s too late to call a company to install a new unit. As experts in the furnace replacement services field, we’re here to tell you what to look for if you’re considering replacing your furnace soon.

Signs Your Furnace Needs to be Replaced

 

Loud Noises

If your Fishers furnace is noisy or is running louder than usual, these are signs that it’s time to replace it. Typically, a furnace only makes a lot of noise if it has cracks, leaks, or other structural issues that compromise its functionality.

Rattling, popping, or banging noises are telltale signs that a furnace may be at the end of its life.

Higher Energy Bills

Higher-than-usual energy bills are another sign of a malfunctioning gas furnace. Energy bills shouldn’t have sudden dramatic increases if there has been regular maintenance. However, if there’s a jump in what you’re paying monthly, it could indicate that the internal parts of the heater are wearing out.

Extra money paid toward gas and electricity with a broken heater can go toward a new, energy-efficient furnace!

Age

The typical life expectancy for a furnace is around 18 years, but any unit that’s over 15 years old is likely to have issues. As time goes on, internal and external parts, such as the heat pump, wear down, and the furnace will become less efficient. If your unit is over 15 years old, we recommend replacing it with an Energy Star-rated furnace, which is more efficient than older furnaces.

Inconsistent Heating

If you have central heating but you’re feeling cold indoors, or if temperatures are significantly different between rooms, it may be time to replace your unit. This could be due to a malfunctioning thermostat or an air leak, but if those causes have been ruled out, it’s at least time to schedule a consultation with a heating company.

Dust, Dirt, or Soot Particles

If you’ve noticed dust, dirt, and soot building up around the house while your furnace is running, it can ruin indoor air quality and be a sign that the heater needs to be replaced. With a furnace, dust build-up is inevitable because the air it cycles can disturb dirty surfaces. However, more dust than usual can be an indicator that the filtration technology isn’t as good as it used to be. For dust, dirt, and soot build-up that is lowering your overall indoor air quality, call the experts at Star Heating & Cooling today for furnace repair service.

What Type of Furnace is Right for Your Home?

There are several things to consider when deciding which furnace is right for your home in Fishers and the surrounding areas:

Climate

Some furnaces will work better in some climates and surrounding areas. For example, homes in mild climates that experience warm temperatures will do best with a gas furnace that has an annual fuel utilization efficiency of 80 or more. Homes in colder climates need more power, so the annual fuel utilization efficiency should be 90 or higher.

Type

There are two major types of furnaces: Gas and electric. Oil furnaces also exist but are rarely used.
  • Gas furnaces are generally more expensive to install than electric furnaces but have cheaper fuel costs
  • Electric furnaces are cheaper to install but are less heat efficient. It’s up to you and your heating and air conditioning company to determine which one suits your home better.

Energy Efficiency

The most efficient furnaces are electric. However, electricity is more expensive than gas, making it more expensive in the long run than a gas furnace. Therefore, energy efficiency depends on how much you’d like to spend on a furnace long-term.

Size

Furnaces that are too small will fail to heat the entire home. Furnaces that are too large will produce too much heat for the home, creating a higher power bill. Consider the size of the home, as well as the following factors:
  • Ceilings
  • Windows
  • Insulation
