WHEN TO REPLACE

Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Heating System

Determining when to replace your heating system rather than repair it can be challenging. Here are the key signs to consider before you spend on another repair.

Age

Most HVAC systems last about ten to fifteen years. If yours is over ten years old, it may be time to explore replacement options.

Rising Energy Bills

If energy costs continue to rise without changes in usage, your heating system might be the culprit.

Frequent Repairs

An aging system that requires frequent repairs may need replacement. Constant service calls are worth pricing against a new unit.

Constant Operation

If your system runs continuously without extreme temperatures outside, it may be struggling to function properly.

Uneven Temperatures

Inconsistent temperatures throughout your home can indicate that a new system is necessary.

Rising Repair Costs

When the next repair approaches a meaningful share of replacement cost, replacement is usually the better investment.

OUR SERVICES

Your Comfort Is Our #1 Priority

At Bassett Services, we make your needs our #1 priority. This drives our every decision and action, motivating us to provide top-tier heating services that stand out. We assess your needs before any work begins, so you can make the best choice for your home.

Our Heating Installation Services

We install the full range of residential heating equipment: furnaces, boilers, heat pumps, ductless mini-split heat pumps, and smart thermostats.

Which one is right depends on your home. Furnaces distribute warm air through ducts and run on gas, oil, or electricity. Boilers suit homes with radiators or radiant floor heating. Heat pumps handle both heating and cooling and are effective in moderate climates. Ductless mini-splits fit homes without ductwork or rooms that need targeted heating.

General Heating System Replacements

When your heating system reaches the end of its lifespan, we can provide seamless and hassle-free replacement services.

Our experts provide unbiased advice on the best energy-efficient models, considering factors such as your home’s size, your budget, and your heating needs. We then perform the installation, ensuring everything is set up for optimal performance.

What Determines How Long a Heating System Lasts

Bassett Services technician at a customer home

Type of System. Different systems have different lifespans: furnaces typically last around 15 to 20 years, while other equipment varies.

Quality and Brand. Higher quality systems from reputable manufacturers tend to last longer and often come with better warranty terms.

Maintenance Practices. Regular maintenance, including annual inspections and timely repairs, significantly extends a system’s working life.

Usage Patterns. Intensity and frequency of use matter. Systems working through harsher winters carry a heavier load and age faster.

We take all of it into account when sizing and recommending a replacement, rather than matching whatever was there before.
