While a thorough inspection and evaluation can tell us a lot about your heating system, identify problems and estimate its lifespan, we can’t give you an exact date of failure. We at Jacobazzi Heating & Cooling highly encourage replacing your furnace, boiler, heat pump or any type of heater before it becomes too costly to repair. Major failures tend to happen when the equipment is working the hardest, in the middle of extreme winter weather, right when you need it the most.

Winters in Downers Grove, IL and the surrounding areas are nothing to take lightly. You want to be sure your heating system is ready and able to carry the responsibility of keeping your home comfortable. As the performance of the heater diminishes, you’ll notice issues such as cold spots, strange operational sounds, lengthy run times, much higher energy bills, concerns with indoor air quality and frequent repair requirements.

Upgrading an old heating system may be more cost effective than paying for repairs

If your heating system is beyond the warranty, you may prefer to replace to avoid the costs of repairs. The expected lifespan of a furnace is somewhere between 15 and 20 years, with some models lasting 30 or even 40 years. Annual professional maintenance makes a big difference, increasing longevity and reducing costs. However, older models may not be worth repairing, especially considering the opportunities on the market today.
