My gas furnace is nearly twenty years old. It was already installed when the people I was with and I purchased the house. The heating plan has been truly well taken care of. The original owners kept a record of annual service and filter fluctuations. They’d enrolled in a service program with a local Heating, Ventilation, and A/C corporation that transferred over to use after the people I was with and I purchased the property. I’ve kept up with yearly, professional inspection, cleaning and tuning. I’ve made sure to change the air filter every week without fail; A few years ago, I invested in a smart control component to help conserve energy and reduce strain on the gas furnace! Because of these efforts, the gas furnace remains operational despite its age. I am reluctant to replace it. The heating system has been appealingly reliable, however we’ve had only a couple of minor repairs. It continues to put out plenty of heat and keep us comfortable every winter. However, every fall, the worker who provides the proactive upkeep warns me that the gas furnace is reaching the end of its lifespan. He explains how it would be better to replace it before Wintertide than face a abrupt malfunction and be without heat. He also tells me how much more energy efficient modern oil furnaces are. I believe all this. I’ve looked into the newer models, the AFUE ratings and all the technological advances. I could replace to an Energy Star rated gas furnace and take luck of zone control. I’m just not ready. I think a sense of loyalty to the seasoned gas furnace, and I’d prefer to see how long it will last. So fair, it shows no signs of failing.
