Should I Repair or Replace My Furnace?

While no one can predict precisely when your furnace will go out, there are a couple of signs that the furnace needs to be replaced.

The Age of the Furnace

Heating systems generally last about 12–17 years. If a furnace is 15 years old (or older), there is an increased risk of breaking down. You should start to prepare for replacement by learning more about new furnaces promptly.

Constant Repairs

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

Increased Energy Bills

Worn down furnaces are less efficient. If yours hasn’t undergone routine furnace maintenance, you’re vulnerable to losing further furnace efficiency and ending up with increasing energy costs.

Spotty Heating

An aging heater can struggle to keep up with heating your home. Broken ductwork and a clogged furnace filter can also lead to problems.

Three Advantages of a New Furnace

While furnace installation may seem intimidating, new furnaces offer benefits outdated systems can’t keep up with. In addition, you’ll be able to relax knowing you don’t need to replace your system for the immediate future.

A new furnace should provide:

1. Better Efficiency

Todays furnaces are extremely reliable and can boast much better efficiency ratings than equipment from 20 years ago.

2. Quieter Operation

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

3. Peace of Mind

Modern HVAC technology ensures your furnace will live longer and run with better energy efficiency. With our service agreements, you’ll never lose out on an important annual tune-up again.

Furnace Installation FAQs

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 undersizing, such as uneven comfort.
Many installations are completed in one visit, but timing can vary depending on venting changes, electrical or gas updates, permits and inspections, and whether you’re upgrading equipment. 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 modulating systems or advanced features. Your contractor can confirm wiring compatibility and recommend the best option.
Before the appointment, it helps to clear a path to the furnace, keep pets in another room, and make sure the thermostat is easy to reach. After installation, the team should verify safety controls, review system settings, and explain filter replacement.
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.
