Do I Need To Repair or Replace My Furnace?

While no one can predict just when your furnace will fail, there are a few clues that your furnace needs to be replaced.

How Old Your Furnace Is

Furnaces usually last between 12–17 years. If the heater is 15 years old (or more), there is a greater possibility of breaking down. You should start the process for replacement by learning more about new furnaces now.

Frequent Repairs

You should consider HVAC installation if a furnace needs repairs more consistently.

Increased Energy Bills

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

Inconsistent Heating

An aging HVAC system can struggle to properly heat your home. Bad ductwork and a dirty furnace filter can also lead to problems.

Three Advantages of a New Furnace

While furnace installation can feel complicated, new furnaces include new features older systems can’t contend with. In addition, you can relax knowing you won’t have to replace your system for a long time.

A new furnace can offer:

1. Improved Efficiency

New furnaces are highly reliable and can boast much better efficiency ratings compared to systems 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

The latest HVAC technology ensures your heating will live longer and run with greater energy efficiency. With one of our service agreements, you’ll never lose out on an important annual tune-up again.

Furnace Installation Frequently Asked Questions

Proper sizing is based on factors like square footage, building envelope, window efficiency, ceiling height, and local climate. 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 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 better control—especially with two-stage systems or advanced features. 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 have someone available for questions. 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 your current equipment condition, temperature settings, ductwork condition, and home insulation. A technician can help you compare efficiency ratings and expected performance for your home.
