Should I Repair or Replace My Furnace?

While you can’t predict just when your furnace will break down, there are a few warning signs that your furnace should be replaced.

The Age of the Furnace

Heaters generally last around 12–17 years. If the heater is 15 years old (or more), you have a higher possibility of shutting down. You should be prepared for replacement by comparing new furnaces ahead of time.

Constant Repairs

You should think about HVAC installation if the heating needs repairs more consistently.

Larger Energy Bills

Old furnaces are less efficient. If you haven’t scheduled yearly furnace maintenance, you risk losing further furnace efficiency and having increasing energy costs.

Inconsistent Heating

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

Three Advantages of a New Furnace

While furnace installation sounds daunting, new furnaces can boast efficiency outdated systems can’t contend with. In addition, you can sit back and relax knowing you won’t need to replace your system for a long time.

A new furnace should provide:

1. Increased Efficiency

New furnaces are highly dependable and offer exceptionally better efficiency ratings compared to equipment from 20 years ago.

2. Quieter Operation

A newer furnace includes the latest in quiet operation technology. You may not even notice when it turns on.

3. Peace of Mind

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

Furnace Installation Frequently Asked Questions

Proper sizing is based on factors like square footage, building envelope, air leakage, layout, and local climate. Many contractors use a Manual J-style 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, 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 control requirements 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, 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, air leaks, and overall heat loss. A technician can help you compare efficiency ratings and expected performance for your home.
