The Hidden Costs of Neglecting Your Heating System
As we approach the colder months, many homeowners are turning their attention to their heating systems. At Paul The Plumber, we’ve seen countless cases where simple maintenance could have prevented major furnace replacements.
Warning Signs Your Furnace Needs Attention
- Unusual noises during operation
- Inconsistent heating throughout your home
- Rising energy bills without increased usage
- Yellow pilot light instead of blue
- Frequent cycling on and off
Regular maintenance isn’t just about preventing breakdowns; it’s about ensuring your system operates at peak efficiency. A well-maintained furnace can last 15-20 years, while neglected units often require replacement in as little as 8-10 years.
The Financial Impact of Proactive Care
Consider this: the average cost of a new furnace installation ranges from $3,000 to $7,500. Meanwhile, regular maintenance visits typically cost a fraction of that amount. By investing in preventive care, you’re not just extending the life of your current system; you’re protecting your long-term financial interests.
Professional Service Makes a Difference
