Have Peace Of Mind This School Year By Making Sure Each Building On Campus Has A Modern Furnace

As the school superintendent or the campus administrator, you know that regular upkeep of your schools includes a long list of different utilities that you need to keep an eye on. You will likely do some furnace or HVAC maintenance and repair every year in advance of winter, but there's a difference between an older furnace just barely passing the examination and a modern furnace that can help offer reliability and better comfort for your students and educators. If your furnace is on its last legs or even trending in that direction, it might be best to seek out a furnace replacement sooner rather than later. Here's why you might want to install a new furnace in one or more school buildings across your campus.

Waiting Until the Furnace Actually Breaks Down Could Delay Class or Anger Both Students and Parents

If you have previously tried to get every last possible day out of your building utilities before replacing them, you might be setting yourself up for an ugly situation if you do this with your furnace. Not replacing a light bulb or light fixture until it dies out is one thing, but if your furnace dies, you are going to be left with some very cold kids and parents who will have some questions. You might have to send the kids home early if it's especially cold outside, and even if the temperature is above freezing, you still risk having kids get a chill and then telling their parents about it. Offer peace of mind to your student body, their parents, and yourself with a new furnace this year so you don't have to worry about something conking out on you.

A Modern Furnace Is More Energy-Efficient and You Can Save Money

If your furnace hasn't been updated since the building was put up, you are likely paying way more than you need to in energy every year. Modern furnaces are better at energy efficiency, and these savings will eventually pay for the new furnace and then you can start putting the extra funds towards student programs like extracurriculars.

The Cost of How Much You Are Spending on Maintenance and Repair Is More Than the Cost of Replacement 

Yes, each maintenance appointment costs less than ordering a replacement, but go back through your ledger and add up exactly how much you've spent on HVAC maintenance and repair over the last couple of years. If the price is approaching that of a new furnace or even in the ballpark, it's time to make the change.
