Is It Better to Repair or Replace My Furnace?

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

The Age of the Furnace

Furnaces generally last about 12–17 years. If a furnace is 15 years old (or more), you have a greater risk of breaking down. You should be prepared for replacement by comparing new furnaces ahead of time.

Constant Repairs

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

Higher Energy Bills

Worn down furnaces are not as efficient. If you’ve put off routine furnace maintenance, you’re at risk of losing even more furnace efficiency and dealing with increasing energy costs.

Spotty Heating

An aging furnace can struggle to keep up with heating your home. Broken ductwork and a dirty 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While furnace installation sounds daunting, new furnaces can boast efficiency outdated systems can’t contend with.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 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 ductwork modifications, electrical or gas updates, 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 modulating systems or variable-speed blowers. Your contractor can confirm control requirements 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 test operation, review system settings, and explain maintenance needs.
A newer furnace can improve efficiency, but savings depend on your current equipment condition, thermostat habits, ductwork condition, and home insulation. A technician can help you compare system options and expected performance for your home.
