5 signs you need a new furnace
If your energy bills ( electric, gas) higher than usual then It might be time for a new heating system.
The typical lifespan of a furnace can be anywhere from 15 to 20 years. If you’ve had your furnace for less than 12 years, you likely don’t have to worry about replacing it any time soon. But if it’s older than 12 years and you’ve started noticing issues, it may be on its last leg. And if your furnace is nearing 20 – 30 years old, then it’s probably time to replace it in the near future.
Your furnace is making different noises: If you’ve noticed that your furnace is suddenly making strange noises, pay attention. Noises such as grinding, squeaking, rattling, humming, clicking and more could be a sign that your furnace is no longer working properly.
Your energy bill has increased: When a furnace is nearing the end of its life, it doesn’t heat your home as efficiently. As a result, it takes more energy — and therefore, more money — to heat your home. 
Your home is being heated unevenly: Have you noticed that certain areas of your house are colder than others? If your furnace is heating your home unevenly, it could be a sign that it’s on its last leg and its time to replace it.
You’re having to make frequent repairs every so often or If your furnace has needed quite a few repairs lately and it’s more than 12 – 15 years old, then it may be time to replace it. Extending the life of your furnace past its useful life may do more harm than good.
