Do I Need To Repair or Replace My Furnace?

While it’s impossible to predict exactly when your furnace will go out, there are a few clues that a furnace should be replaced.

Furnace Age

Furnaces generally last between 12–17 years. If a furnace is 15 years old (or older), you have an increased possibility of breaking down. You should start to prepare for replacement by learning more about new furnaces now.

Frequent Repairs

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

Increased Energy Bills

Old furnaces are not as efficient. If you’ve put off routine furnace maintenance, you risk losing further furnace efficiency and having steeper energy costs.

Weak Heating

An aging heater can struggle to properly heat your home. Bad ductwork and a dirty furnace filter can also stir up trouble.

Three Benefits of a New Furnace

While furnace installation may seem overwhelming, new furnaces include new features older systems can’t keep up with. Plus, you’ll be able to relax knowing you don’t need to replace your system for years to come.

A new furnace can offer:

1. Improved Efficiency

Modern furnaces are extremely reliable and offer higher efficiency ratings than systems from 20 years ago.

2. Quieter Operation

Modern furnaces offer the latest in quiet operation technology. You may not even notice when it turns on.

3. Peace of Mind

Modern HVAC technology ensures your heating will live longer and run with greater energy efficiency. With our service agreements, you’ll never forget an important furnace tune-up again.

Frequently Asked Questions: Furnace Installation

Proper sizing is based on factors like square footage, building envelope, air leakage, ceiling height, and local climate. Many contractors use a Manual J-style calculation to avoid problems caused by oversizing, such as short cycling.
Many installations are completed in one visit, but timing can vary depending on ductwork modifications, utility connections, permits and inspections, and whether you’re changing system type. Your installer should provide a clear schedule before work begins.
Sometimes your existing thermostat works fine, but upgrades may be recommended for compatibility—especially with two-stage systems or advanced features. 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 have someone available for questions. After installation, the team should test operation, show you how to use it, and explain maintenance needs.
A newer furnace can improve efficiency, but savings depend on how old your system is, temperature settings, ductwork condition, and home insulation. A technician can help you compare efficiency ratings and expected performance for your home.
