Winter Is Coming: How to Spot the Warning Signs You Need a New Heating System


Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late

As temperatures begin to drop, many homeowners are firing up their heating systems for the first time in months. But what if your trusty furnace isn’t quite as reliable as it used to be? At Brian & Sons, we’ve seen countless situations where proactive heating system replacement could have prevented a mid-winter emergency.

Here are the top warning signs that your heating system might be ready for retirement:

  • Your energy bills have steadily increased despite similar usage
  • Strange noises like banging, rattling, or whistling coming from the unit
  • Uneven heating throughout your home
  • The system needs frequent repairs
  • Your furnace is more than 15 years old

  • Ability to schedule installation at your convenience
  • Opportunity to take advantage of seasonal promotions
  • No emergency installation fees
