Should I Repair or Replace My Furnace?

While you can’t predict just when your furnace will fail, there are a couple of clues that a furnace should be replaced.

Furnace Age

Furnaces typically last between 12–17 years. If a furnace is 15 years old (or older), it has a greater possibility of shutting down. You should start the process for replacement by researching new furnaces ahead of time.

Frequent Repairs

You should think about HVAC replacement if the heating needs repairs more often.

Higher Energy Bills

Older furnaces won’t be as efficient. If you’ve put off routine furnace maintenance, you risk losing even more furnace efficiency and ending up with increasing energy costs.

Inconsistent Heating

An older furnace can struggle to properly heat your home. Leaky ductwork and a clogged furnace filter can also cause issues.

Three Advantages of a New Furnace

While furnace installation sounds overwhelming, new furnaces can boast efficiency outdated systems can’t compete with. Additionally, 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. Improved Efficiency

New furnaces are very dependable and offer exceptionally better efficiency ratings versus systems from 20 years ago.

2. Quieter Operation

A new furnace offers the latest in quiet operation technology. You might not notice when it starts running.

3. Peace of Mind

Innovative HVAC technology ensures your heating will live longer and run with better 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, insulation levels, window efficiency, ceiling height, and local climate. Many contractors use a Manual J-style calculation to avoid problems caused by oversizing, 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 changing system type. 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 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, thermostat habits, air leaks, and overall heat loss. A technician can help you compare efficiency ratings and expected performance for your home.
