Essential Winter Heating Guide: When to Consider a New Furnace Installation


Understanding Your Home Heating Needs

As temperatures begin to drop, ensuring your home’s heating system functions efficiently becomes increasingly important. Murphy’s specializes in providing comprehensive heating solutions, and knowing when to replace your furnace can save you significant money and headaches in the long run.

Signs It’s Time for a Furnace Replacement

Your furnace may be telling you it’s ready for retirement through several key indicators:

  • Age exceeding 15-20 years
  • Increasing energy bills despite similar usage
  • Frequent repairs and maintenance issues
  • Uneven heating throughout your home
  • Strange noises or unusual odors

Benefits of Modern Furnace Systems

Today’s heating systems offer remarkable improvements over older models. Modern furnaces provide enhanced efficiency ratings, often exceeding 95% AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency). This increased efficiency translates to lower monthly utility bills and improved comfort throughout your home.

Making the Smart Investment

While the initial cost of a new furnace installation may seem substantial, the long-term savings often justify the investment. Murphy’s offers competitive pricing and financing options to help homeowners make this important upgrade without breaking their budget.

Professional Installation Matters

Proper installation is crucial for optimal furnace performance. The experienced technicians at Murphy’s ensure every installation meets strict quality standards and local building codes. This attention to detail helps maximize your system’s efficiency and longevity.

Regular Maintenance Tips

Once you’ve invested in a new heating system, protecting that investment through regular maintenance is essential. Some key maintenance practices include:

  • Regular filter changes every 1-3 months
  • Annual professional inspections
  • Keeping vents and returns clear of obstruction
  • Monitoring system performance

Energy-Saving Recommendations

To maximize the efficiency of your new heating system:

  • Install a programmable thermostat
  • Seal any air leaks around windows and doors
  • Ensure proper insulation levels
  • Schedule regular maintenance checks

Murphy’s commitment to customer satisfaction extends beyond the initial installation. Our team provides ongoing support and maintenance services to ensure your heating system continues to perform optimally throughout its lifetime.

Choose the Right Time

Planning your furnace replacement during the off-season can often result in better pricing and more flexible scheduling options. This proactive approach allows you to avoid emergency replacements during peak winter months when you need your heating system most.
