Do I Need To Repair or Replace My Furnace?

While it’s impossible to predict just when your furnace will break down, there are a few warning signs that the furnace has to be replaced.

Furnace Age

Heaters usually last between 12–17 years. If yours is 15 years old (or more), you have an increased chance of breaking down. You should start to prepare for replacement by researching new furnaces ahead of time.

Frequent Repairs

You should think about HVAC replacement if a furnace needs repairs more often.

Increased Energy Bills

Old furnaces won’t be as efficient. If you haven’t scheduled preventative furnace maintenance, you’re at risk of losing even more furnace efficiency and dealing with steeper energy costs.

Weak Heating

An older furnace can do a poor job at heating your home. Bad ductwork and a clogged furnace filter can also stir up trouble.

Three Advantages of a New Furnace

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

A new furnace could mean:

1. Better Efficiency

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

2. Less Noise During Operation

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

3. Peace of Mind

The latest HVAC technology ensures your heater will stay in good shape for longer and run with better energy efficiency. With our service agreements, you’ll never forget an important annual tune-up again.

Furnace Installation Frequently Asked Questions

Proper sizing is based on factors like square footage, insulation levels, window efficiency, layout, and regional weather. Many contractors use a load calculation to avoid problems caused by oversizing, such as uneven comfort.
Many installations are completed in a single day, but timing can vary depending on venting changes, utility connections, 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 modulating systems or variable-speed blowers. 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 test operation, show you how to use it, and explain filter replacement.
A newer furnace can improve efficiency, but savings depend on your current equipment condition, temperature settings, air leaks, and overall heat loss. A technician can help you compare efficiency ratings and expected performance for your home.
