Age of Your Heating System
The first thing to consider when you are deciding whether or not to replace your heating system is its age. Generally speaking, if your heat pump is over ten years old, you should consider replacing it with a new system. Likewise, if your furnace or boiler is over 15 years old, it is likely to be reaching the end of its service life.
Even if your heating system is operating effectively, there can be substantial benefits from replacing these older appliances. Replacing a decade old heat pump with an energy efficient model can reduce heating bills by up to 20%. Replacing a decade old furnace with an energy efficient model can enhance energy efficiency by up to 40%.
