Should I Repair or Replace My Furnace?

While no one can predict precisely when your furnace will fail, there are a few signs that your furnace has to be replaced.

How Old Your Furnace Is

Furnaces generally last about 12–17 years. If yours is 15 years old (or more), there is a higher chance of shutting down. You should start the process for replacement by comparing new furnaces promptly.

Continual Repairs

You should opt for HVAC replacement if the heating needs repairs more consistently.

Increased Energy Bills

Worn down furnaces are less efficient. If you’ve put off annual furnace maintenance, you’re at risk of losing additional furnace efficiency and dealing with higher energy costs.

Inconsistent Heating

An older heater can struggle to properly heat your home. Leaky ductwork and a clogged furnace filter can also lead to problems.

Three Benefits of a New Furnace

While furnace installation can feel overwhelming, new furnaces can boast efficiency older systems can’t contend with. Additionally, you can sit back and relax knowing you won’t have to replace your system for the immediate future.

A new furnace should provide:

1. Increased Efficiency

Todays furnaces are highly resilient and can boast much better efficiency ratings versus furnaces from 20 years ago.

2. Less Noise During Operation

Modern furnaces offer the latest in quiet operation technology. You might not notice when it starts running.

3. Peace of Mind

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

Furnace Installation Frequently Asked Questions

Proper sizing is based on factors like home size, insulation levels, window efficiency, ceiling height, and regional weather. Many contractors use a load calculation to avoid problems caused by undersizing, such as short cycling.
Many installations are completed in one visit, but timing can vary depending on ductwork modifications, utility connections, local requirements, and whether you’re changing system type. 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 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 system options and expected performance for your home.
