4 Symptoms of a Heating System That Needs Replacement

August 2, 2022

Harsh winter weather year after year in Massachusetts takes a toll on your heating system, but don’t worry—there’s good news for liquid heating fuel users like yourself. Oil heating equipment is pretty good at showing symptoms when it’s time for a replacement, rather than simply kicking the bucket without any notice. Keep an eye out for these symptoms that your home heating furnace or boiler is in need of replacement with a higher-efficiency model.

Top Signs Your Massachusetts Heating System Might Need to Be Replaced

  • Symptom #1: Increased fuel usage

As your heating system ages, its efficiency will start to decline. Consistently increased fuel oil usage (without extreme weather or household size increase) is a clear symptom of decreased fuel economy that could benefit from an upgrade.

  • Symptom #2: Foreign sounds or odors

If you start to hear abnormal humming, banging, or clunking coming from your heating system it could be time for a replacement. Abnormal odors can be another red flag that you should keep an eye on.

  • Symptom #3: Uneven heating from room to room

Although we can predict that heat will rise, and therefore, your upper floors may be warmer, if heat is not reaching all areas of your home equally, that can indicate the decline of your equipment’s operation capabilities.

  • Symptom #4: Repairs needed more frequently

Naturally, your heating equipment will suffer from more breakdowns as years go by. Instead of spending your money on recurring repair visits, you will get more bang for your buck investing in a new high-efficiency system.
