A client recently asked Lifestyle Comfort Solutions: “When should I replace my furnace?” Our respectful answer: “Before it breaks down.” Lifestyle Comfort Solutions shares warning signs that it’s time to consider planned replacement.
How Old Is Your System?
The life span of most heating equipment is 12-15 years. Repairs may keep a system working longer. Still, your family is living on borrowed time. Are you experiencing a pattern of reoccurring repairs? Does a repair today get the system running, only to have something else break in a few weeks?
Frequent breakdown isn’t a sign of a poor technician. It’s a warning sign that replacement is necessary. Money spent on repairs is better invested in new equipment.
Do You Hear Strange Sounds?

Is The Furnace Continually Shutting Off?
