All About the Lennox ML196E Gas Furnace

During this time of year, your furnace likely works 24/7 to combat the effects of exposure to cold weather. For this reason, it is crucial to have a furnace that works efficiently to ensure your home is both warm and safe when the temperature gets sub-zero.

However, there will come a time when your furnace will diminish in heating power and cause you a lot of problems. This happens when you have an old, inefficient furnace. If your existing unit has been in use for about 12-15 years, it may exhibit noticeable signs of a decline in performance. Some of the troubles associated with a failing furnace include hot and cold spots, higher repair and utility costs, frequent sickness in the family, and risk of starting a fire.In order to avoid these risks, you may want to consider replacing your old furnace.
