When Should You Replace Your Wall Heater?
While repairs can keep an older wall heater running, at some point replacement becomes the smarter, more cost-effective choice. Modern wall heaters offer better efficiency, improved safety features, and more reliable operation than units from 15-20 years ago. Consider wall heater replacement if you're experiencing any of these situations:
- Wall heater is 20+ years oldWall heaters typically last 15-25 years. If yours is approaching or exceeding 20 years, replacement makes sense even if it still works. Modern units are far more efficient, safer, and more reliable than older models. Upgrading now prevents an emergency replacement during the coldest weather.
- Frequent, costly repairsIf you're calling for repairs annually or spending more than $400-500 in repairs over a few years, that money would be better invested in a new, reliable wall heater with a full warranty. Older units develop cascading problems-fixing one component doesn't prevent others from failing soon after.
- Rising energy billsAs wall heaters age, efficiency declines. If your PG&E bills have climbed significantly and your wall heater is older, a modern high-efficiency unit can pay for itself through energy savings in just a few years. Modern direct-vent units are dramatically more efficient than standing pilot light models.
- Inadequate heating for your spaceIf your wall heater never quite keeps the room comfortable, it may be undersized for your space. This is common after room additions, improved insulation, or when older models lose efficiency. Replacing with a properly sized unit ensures comfortable heating and actually saves energy.
- Safety concernsAny safety issues with a wall heater-gas odors, carbon monoxide detector alarms, cracked heat exchangers, damaged venting, or excessive rust-should be taken seriously. While some safety issues can be repaired, in an older unit replacement is often the safer, smarter choice for protecting your Pleasant Hill, Oakland, or San Francisco family.
- Old pilot light systemIf your wall heater has a standing pilot light burning 24/7, you're wasting energy year-round and missing out on the safety and convenience of modern electronic ignition. New direct-vent models eliminate the pilot light entirely, saving energy and improving safety.
