Do I Need To Repair or Replace My Furnace?

While it’s impossible to predict exactly when your furnace will fail, there are a few clues that the furnace has to be replaced.

Furnace Age

Heating systems typically last around 12–17 years. If yours is 15 years old (or older), it has a higher risk of breaking down. You should start the process for replacement by learning more about new furnaces promptly.

Constant Repairs

You should opt for HVAC replacement if a furnace needs repairs more frequently.

Higher Energy Bills

Old furnaces are less efficient. If yours hasn’t undergone annual furnace maintenance, you risk losing even more furnace efficiency and ending up with steeper energy costs.

Spotty Heating

An older HVAC system can struggle to properly heat your home. Bad ductwork and a dirty furnace filter can also lead to problems.

Three Advantages of a New Furnace

While furnace installation sounds complicated, new furnaces offer benefits worn down systems can’t compete with. Plus, you’ll be able to relax knowing you don’t need to replace your system for years to come.

A new furnace could mean:

1. Improved Efficiency

Todays furnaces are very dependable and provide exceptionally better efficiency ratings versus equipment from 20 years ago.

2. Less Noise During Operation

A newer furnace includes the latest in quiet operation technology. You won’t always notice when it switches on.

3. Peace of Mind

Innovative HVAC technology ensures your furnace will last longer and run with increased energy efficiency. With our service agreements, you’ll never forget an important yearly tune-up again.

Frequently Asked Questions: Furnace Installation

Proper sizing is based on factors like home size, building envelope, window efficiency, layout, and regional weather. Many contractors use a Manual J-style calculation to avoid problems caused by oversizing, such as uneven comfort.
Many installations are completed in one visit, but timing can vary depending on ductwork modifications, electrical or gas updates, permits and inspections, and whether you’re upgrading equipment. Your installer should provide a project timeline before work begins.
Sometimes your existing thermostat works fine, but upgrades may be recommended for compatibility—especially with two-stage systems or variable-speed blowers. Your contractor can confirm wiring compatibility and recommend the best option.
Before the appointment, it helps to make the mechanical area accessible, keep pets in another room, and make sure the thermostat is easy to reach. After installation, the team should verify safety controls, show you how to use it, and explain maintenance needs.
A newer furnace can improve efficiency, but savings depend on your current equipment condition, thermostat habits, ductwork condition, and overall heat loss. A technician can help you compare system options and expected performance for your home.
