Do I Need To Repair or Replace My Furnace?

While you can’t predict precisely when your furnace will fail, there are a few clues that the furnace has to be replaced.

How Old Your Furnace Is

Heaters generally last between 12–17 years. If yours is 15 years old (or older), you have a higher risk of failing. You should start the process for replacement by researching new furnaces ahead of time.

Frequent Repairs

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

Larger Energy Bills

Old furnaces are less efficient. If yours hasn’t undergone yearly furnace maintenance, you’re vulnerable to losing further furnace efficiency and ending up with higher energy costs.

Weak Heating

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

Three Benefits of a New Furnace

While furnace installation sounds intimidating, new furnaces offer benefits outdated systems can’t contend with. Additionally, you can sit back and relax knowing you won’t need to replace your system for years to come.

A new furnace could mean:

1. Better Efficiency

Modern furnaces are highly reliable and provide exceptionally better efficiency ratings compared to equipment from 20 years ago.

2. Less Noise During Operation

Modern furnaces offer the latest in quiet operation technology. You won’t always notice when it starts running.

3. Peace of Mind

Modern HVAC technology ensures your furnace will stay in good shape for longer and run with better energy efficiency. With one of our service agreements, you’ll never lose out on an important yearly tune-up again.

FAQ: Furnace Installation

Proper sizing is based on factors like square footage, building envelope, air leakage, ceiling height, and regional weather. Many contractors use a load 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 venting changes, utility connections, local requirements, 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 modulating systems or advanced features. Your contractor can confirm control requirements and recommend the best option.
Before the appointment, it helps to make the mechanical area accessible, secure pets, and make sure the thermostat is easy to reach. After installation, the team should verify safety controls, review system settings, and explain maintenance needs.
A newer furnace can improve efficiency, but savings depend on your current equipment condition, temperature settings, air leaks, and home insulation. A technician can help you compare efficiency ratings and expected performance for your home.
