Should I Repair or Replace My Furnace?

While no one can predict exactly when your furnace will fail, there are a couple of signs that a furnace needs to be replaced.

How Old Your Furnace Is

Furnaces generally last around 12–17 years. If a furnace is 15 years old (or more), it has a higher possibility of breaking down. You should be prepared for replacement by comparing new furnaces promptly.

Constant Repairs

You should consider HVAC installation if the heating needs repairs more frequently.

Higher Energy Bills

Worn down furnaces won’t be as efficient. If you haven’t scheduled yearly furnace maintenance, you risk losing further furnace efficiency and having steeper energy costs.

Inconsistent Heating

An aging HVAC system can struggle to keep up with heating your home. Broken ductwork and a dirty furnace filter can also cause issues.

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While furnace installation sounds daunting, new furnaces can boast efficiency outdated systems can’t contend with.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.

Frequently Asked Questions: Furnace Installation

Proper sizing is based on factors like square footage, insulation levels, 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 a single day, but timing can vary depending on ductwork modifications, electrical or gas updates, local requirements, 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 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 verify safety controls, review system settings, and explain filter replacement.
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.
