by Common Heating Myths Debunked
One of the most persistent myths in home heating is that you should wait until your furnace completely stops working before replacing it. At Four Suns Heating & Cooling, we regularly encounter homeowners who believe this outdated approach to furnace maintenance and replacement.
Why This Myth is Costly
Waiting until your furnace dies completely can lead to:
• Emergency replacement costs
• Uncomfortable and potentially unsafe living conditions
• Higher energy bills in the months leading up to failure
• Limited time to research replacement options
• Possible property damage from frozen pipes
The Smart Approach
Instead of waiting for a complete breakdown, watch for these warning signs:
• Your furnace is over 15 years old
• Energy bills are steadily increasing
• Frequent repairs are needed
• Uneven heating throughout your home
• Strange noises or smells from the unit
The Financial Benefits of Proactive Replacement
Planning your furnace replacement before an emergency allows you to:
• Take advantage of seasonal promotions
• Compare different models thoroughly
• Schedule installation at your convenience
