The Benefits of Renting a Furnace with our Comfort Care Plan
Age
Furnaces have a limited lifespan, typically around 15-20 years, depending on how well it has been maintained. If your furnace is approaching or has exceeded its expected lifespan, it's a good idea to consider replacement, as older units are often less energy-efficient and more prone to breakdowns.
Energy Efficiency
Older furnaces are less energy-efficient than newer models, most furnaces over 10 years old are 80% efficient whereas all new furnaces are a minimum of 95% efficient. Replacing an old furnace with a high-efficiency one can significantly reduce your energy bills and environmental impact.
High Repair Costs
If your furnace frequently requires costly repairs, it may be more cost-effective to replace it with a new unit. Continuously fixing an older furnace can add up in expenses over time.
Inconsistent Heating
As your furnace ages its ability to provide consistent heating in your home decreases, older furnaces also have outdated blower fans that only have one speed which causes uneven heat throughout the home. New high-efficient furnaces all have either ECM or variable fans which will provide a more even comfortable heating.
Safety Concerns
As your furnace ages it can be prone to safety issues such as carbon monoxide leaks due to a cracked heat exchanger, signs of soot around the furnace or yellow flames instead of blue flames can also be a sign that things aren't right. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can be deadly. Annual maintenance is even more important as furnaces age in order to catch these issues before they become dangerous.
Noisy Operation
Unusual or loud noises coming from your furnace may indicate underlying issues. Older furnaces are naturally louder than newer furnaces due to their updated technology.
Inadequate Heating Capacity
If your furnace is too small for the space it's supposed to heat, it may struggle to maintain a comfortable temperature, especially in extremely cold weather. The same goes for an oversized furnace, this will cause "short cycling" which means the furnace will turn on and off too quickly and you will have uneven heating in your home. Replacing it with a properly sized unit can address this issue.
Improvements in Technology
Newer furnace models often come with advanced features, such as programmable thermostats, zoning systems, and smart home integration, which can enhance your comfort and convenience.
Rebates
There are often multiple rebates available for customers looking to upgrade their furnace, from the utility provider to the manufacturer.
Environmental Considerations
Older furnaces are often less environmentally friendly and produce higher greenhouse gas emissions. Upgrading to a more efficient furnace can reduce your carbon footprint.
The Benefits of Renting a Tankless Water Heater with our Comfort Care Plan
Energy Efficiency
Tankless water heaters are more energy-efficient than traditional tank-style water heaters. They only heat water as needed, eliminating standby energy losses associated with keeping a large tank of water hot continuously. This can lead to significant energy savings and lower utility bills.
Cost
Although tankless units come with a higher upfront cost they are cheaper over the life of the unit, as tankless units last twice as long as conventional tanks you factor in the price of 2 tank replacements over the life of the tankless, add in your annual energy savings over the life of the tankless and the tankless works out significantly cheaper over its lifetime.
Continuous Hot Water
Tankless water heaters provide a continuous supply of hot water, which means you won't run out of hot water during long showers or when multiple hot water taps are in use simultaneously. This is in contrast to tank-style heaters, which have a limited capacity.
Space-Saving Design
Tankless water heaters are compact and wall-mounted, saving valuable space in your home. They are ideal for small spaces or for homeowners who want to reclaim space used by a bulky tank-style heater.
Longevity
Tankless water heaters tend to have a longer lifespan compared to tank-style heaters. While tank-style heaters may last around 8-10 years, tankless units can last 20-25 years with proper maintenance.
Reduced Maintenance
Tankless water heaters require less maintenance compared to tank-style heaters. They are less prone to rust and corrosion since there is no standing water in the tank. Flushing the unit periodically can help maintain its efficiency.
Reduced Risk of Water Damage
Tankless water heaters don't store large quantities of water, reducing the risk of leaks and water damage in your home. In contrast, tank-style heaters can develop leaks over time, potentially causing significant property damage.
Precise Temperature Control
Tankless water heaters offer precise temperature control, allowing you to set your preferred hot water temperature. This can help prevent scalding and make it easier to achieve the desired water temperature.
Environmental Benefits
Tankless water heaters produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions due to their energy efficiency, making them a more environmentally friendly choice.
Incentives and Rebates
Some utility companies and government programs offer incentives and rebates for the installation of energy-efficient tankless water heaters, which can help offset the initial cost.
Improved Home Resale Value
Upgrading to a tankless water heater can increase the resale value of your home, as it is seen as a modern and energy-efficient feature that potential buyers may appreciate.
