Over time, heating systems become less efficient, more expensive to maintain, and less environmentally friendly. Updating them at the right time can mean more comfort, greater energy efficiency, and a significant reduction in your monthly bill.
But when does it make sense to update your home's heating system? Here are the signs to look out for.
The system is over 10 to 15 years old
Technology has evolved significantly. Older systems:
- Consume more energy
- Have lower efficiency
- May no longer comply with current regulations
A modern heat pump or pellet boiler can reduce consumption by up to 60% compared to older equipment.
The energy bill is rising without explanation
If your heating costs have increased in recent years, but your habits remain the same, it's possible that your system is operating at a lower efficiency.
Aging or poorly sized equipment loses efficiency and consumes more energy.
Maintenance is becoming increasingly frequent and expensive.
Replacing parts, troubleshooting problems, constant technician calls… All of this adds up. When maintenance becomes recurring, it may be more cost-effective to upgrade the system than to continue repairing it.
Is the temperature inside your home unstable
Do you feel cold spots? Does the heat take a while to spread? Are there uncomfortable fluctuations? These signs indicate that the system may no longer be heating evenly, or that the temperature control is out of whack.
