Is It Better to Repair or Replace My Furnace?

While it’s impossible to predict just when your furnace will go out, there are a couple of signs that a furnace should be replaced.

Furnace Age

Furnaces typically last between 12–17 years. If the heater is 15 years old (or older), it has an increased possibility of failing. You should start to prepare for replacement by learning more about new furnaces ahead of time.

Continual Repairs

You should consider HVAC replacement if the heating needs repairs more often.

Higher Energy Bills

Worn down furnaces are less efficient. If you’ve put off routine furnace maintenance, you’re vulnerable to losing further furnace efficiency and having increasing energy costs.

Spotty Heating

An older HVAC system can struggle to properly heat your home. Broken ductwork and a dirty furnace filter can also lead to problems.

Three Advantages of a New Furnace

While furnace installation sounds complicated, new furnaces offer benefits worn down systems can’t keep up with. Plus, you’ll be able to relax knowing you won’t need to replace your system for a long time.

A new furnace could mean:

1. Increased Efficiency

New furnaces are highly resilient and provide higher efficiency ratings than models from 20 years ago.

2. Quieter Operation

A newer furnace includes the latest in quiet operation technology. You may not even notice when it starts running.

3. Peace of Mind

Innovative HVAC technology ensures your furnace will live longer and run with greater energy efficiency. With one of our service agreements, you’ll never miss 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 Manual J-style 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, permits and inspections, 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 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 have someone available for questions. After installation, the team should verify safety controls, show you how to use it, and explain filter replacement.
A newer furnace can improve efficiency, but savings depend on how old your system is, temperature settings, ductwork condition, and overall heat loss. A technician can help you compare system options and expected performance for your home.
