Is It Better to Repair or Replace Your Heater?
The thought of replacing a heater can give you the sweats and you might worry about spending the kids’ college fund to do it. But sometimes, replacing an aging heater makes more economic sense than repairing, and here’s how to know.
- If your heater is over 15 years old, it’s in your best interest to replace it
- If the repairs are getting more frequent and expensive, a new unit saves money
- If your energy bills are going up and you don’t know why, your inefficient heater may be the culprit. A new system will save money month to month
- If the repair is 50% or more than the cost of a new unit, getting a new one makes better financial sense
If you’re still not sure which way to go, call us and let us look at your current system and family needs.
