Many older furnace systems were built and designed for times when fuel was cheap and the technology was limited. Times have changed. If the furnace is not very old, a few simple tweaks from a certified technician may be helpful. If the age of the furnace is far older than it should be, it may be time to repair or replace it.
Your vintage furnace could be costing you much more than it should. Not only could fuel inefficiency be a problem, but it could be costing more in electricity to deliver heat to the rooms of the home. An old blower motor could be taking more power than it should to distribute warm air.
It may be a good time to have an assessment of your furnace. A qualified professional can look at the heating system and recommend whether to repair or replace your existing system. New, efficient furnaces can usually be tied in to existing ducting. The result can be a quieter, less costly and more dependable heating system for your home.
