Should I Repair or Replace My Furnace?

While you can’t predict just when your furnace will go out, there are some clues that the furnace needs to be replaced.

The Age of the Furnace

Heating systems generally last around 12–17 years. If a furnace is 15 years old (or more), it has a higher possibility of shutting down. You should be prepared for replacement by researching new furnaces ahead of time.

Frequent Repairs

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

Higher Energy Bills

Old furnaces won’t be as efficient. If you haven’t scheduled annual furnace maintenance, you risk losing additional furnace efficiency and dealing with higher energy costs.

Spotty Heating

An old furnace can do a poor job at heating your home. Broken ductwork and a dirty furnace filter can also lead to problems.

Three Advantages of a New Furnace

While furnace installation sounds daunting, new furnaces offer benefits outdated systems can’t keep up with. Plus, you’ll be able to relax knowing you won’t have to replace your system for years to come.

A new furnace could mean:

1. Better Efficiency

Todays furnaces are very resilient and offer exceptionally better efficiency ratings compared to equipment from 20 years ago.

2. Less Noise During Operation

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

3. Peace of Mind

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

Frequently Asked Questions: Furnace Installation

Proper sizing is based on factors like home size, building envelope, window efficiency, ceiling height, and local climate. Many contractors use a load calculation to avoid problems caused by oversizing, such as short cycling.
Many installations are completed in one visit, but timing can vary depending on ductwork modifications, utility connections, local requirements, and whether you’re upgrading equipment. Your installer should provide a project timeline before work begins.
Sometimes your existing thermostat works fine, but upgrades may be recommended for better control—especially with modulating systems or variable-speed blowers. Your contractor can confirm control requirements and recommend the best option.
Before the appointment, it helps to make the mechanical area accessible, keep pets in another room, and make sure the thermostat is easy to reach. After installation, the team should test operation, review system settings, and explain maintenance needs.
A newer furnace can improve efficiency, but savings depend on how old your system is, thermostat habits, ductwork condition, and overall heat loss. A technician can help you compare efficiency ratings and expected performance for your home.
