Do I Need To Repair or Replace My Furnace?

While it’s impossible to predict precisely when your furnace will fail, there are a few warning signs that the furnace has to be replaced.

The Age of the Furnace

Furnaces generally last about 12–17 years. If yours is 15 years old (or older), you have a higher risk of shutting down. You should start the process for replacement by learning more about new furnaces promptly.

Continual Repairs

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

Higher Energy Bills

Older furnaces won’t be as efficient. If yours hasn’t undergone preventative furnace maintenance, you’re at risk of losing even more furnace efficiency and having higher energy costs.

Inconsistent Heating

An older heater can do a poor job at heating your home. Leaky ductwork and a clogged furnace filter can also cause issues.

Three Benefits of a New Furnace

While furnace installation can feel daunting, new furnaces offer benefits outdated systems can’t compete with. In addition, you’ll be able to relax knowing you won’t have to replace your system for a long time.

A new furnace should provide:

1. Better Efficiency

Todays furnaces are highly dependable and offer higher efficiency ratings versus models from 20 years ago.

2. Quieter Operation

A newer furnace includes the latest in quiet operation technology. You won’t always notice when it turns on.

3. Peace of Mind

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

Furnace Installation FAQ

Proper sizing is based on factors like home size, building envelope, air leakage, layout, and local climate. Many contractors use a Manual J-style calculation to avoid problems caused by undersizing, such as short cycling.
Many installations are completed in a single day, but timing can vary depending on ductwork modifications, utility connections, local requirements, and whether you’re upgrading equipment. Your installer should provide a clear schedule 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 clear a path to the furnace, keep pets in another room, and have someone available for questions. 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, thermostat habits, air leaks, and overall heat loss. A technician can help you compare efficiency ratings and expected performance for your home.
