Is It Better to Repair or Replace My Furnace?

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

Furnace Age

Heaters typically last between 12–17 years. If a furnace is 15 years old (or older), there is a greater possibility of breaking down. You should start to prepare for replacement by comparing new furnaces promptly.

Constant Repairs

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

Larger Energy Bills

Worn down furnaces won’t be as efficient. If you’ve put off annual furnace maintenance, you’re at risk of losing even more furnace efficiency and having increasing energy costs.

Weak Heating

An old HVAC system can do a poor job at heating your home. Leaky ductwork and a clogged 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While furnace installation sounds daunting, new furnaces can boast efficiency outdated systems can’t contend with.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 home size, insulation levels, air leakage, layout, and regional weather. Many contractors use a load calculation to avoid problems caused by undersizing, such as uneven comfort.
Many installations are completed in one visit, but timing can vary depending on ductwork modifications, 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 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, secure pets, 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 your current equipment condition, temperature settings, ductwork condition, and overall heat loss. A technician can help you compare system options and expected performance for your home.
