00:00:02.010 --> 00:00:03.990
<v Narrator>Knowing when to replace your heating system</v>

3
00:00:03.990 --> 00:00:06.361
isn't always obvious, but understanding what signs

4
00:00:06.361 --> 00:00:09.900
to look for can make it a little easier.

5
00:00:09.900 --> 00:00:12.180
A noisy heating system could be a sign

6
00:00:12.180 --> 00:00:14.220
that you have an undersized duct system

7
00:00:14.220 --> 00:00:16.320
or a serious operating issue.

8
00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:19.263
Either way, comfort doesn't come with loud noises.

9
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.700
If your heating system is more than 10 years old,

10
00:00:23.700 --> 00:00:25.440
upgrading to a properly installed,

11
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:27.150
Energy Star-certified system

12
00:00:27.150 --> 00:00:29.700
can significantly reduce your heating costs

13
00:00:29.700 --> 00:00:31.233
and improve your comfort.

14
00:00:32.550 --> 00:00:34.410
Multiple visits from a professional

15
00:00:34.410 --> 00:00:36.630
could be costing you a lot in repairs

16
00:00:36.630 --> 00:00:38.043
and on your energy bill.

17
00:00:39.300 --> 00:00:42.060
Uneven heating can be a sign of leaky ducts,

18
00:00:42.060 --> 00:00:45.333
poorly designed duct work, or system performance issues.

19
00:00:46.710 --> 00:00:49.080
Leaky ducts or poor equipment operation

20
00:00:49.080 --> 00:00:50.910
can lead to big problems.

21
00:00:50.910 --> 00:00:54.720
High humidity could lead to mold or other biological toxins,

22
00:00:54.720 --> 00:00:58.563
and excessive dust can stir up allergies all year round.

23
00:00:59.730 --> 00:01:01.770
If you've noticed any of these signs,

24
00:01:01.770 --> 00:01:04.863
it might be time to consider replacing your heating system.
