With warmer temperatures quickly approaching the Kansas City area, it can be easy to turn off your furnace for the season and forget about it until fall comes back around. However, before you pack up your appliance for the months ahead, consider if your furnace has seen its last winter.

If your furnace has suffered from problems over the past cold season, it may be time to invest in a new unit. Whether your furnace is malfunctioning or other preventative measures are needed, there are many factors that go into deciding whether your furnace has seen its last season.

Function
If your furnace has had a number of repairs or has broken down several times in the past season, a new unit may be needed. When your furnace produces loud noises while operating, creates uneven hot/cold spots in your home, or simply won’t always turn on properly, your best way to ensure comfortable seasons ahead is to find a replacement.

Safety
When you are actively concerned with the safety of your current furnace, it is time to upgrade. Whether it is dated and poses electrical hazards or simply malfunctions regularly, when you replace your furnace with a new and improved unit, you will be able to keep your home safe in future seasons.

Cost
High utility bills are often a sure sign that you should replace your furnace. A higher bill than normal means that your machine isn’t functioning at peak performance, which in turn means that it is time for a new furnace. One major perk of buying a new furnace in the spring is that you will be able to take advantage of seasonal rebates and specials on those heating units.
