Do I Need To Repair or Replace My Furnace?

While it’s impossible to predict exactly when your furnace will fail, there are a couple of signs that your furnace needs to be replaced.

The Age of the Furnace

Heating systems usually last around 12–17 years. If the heater is 15 years old (or more), it has an increased chance of breaking down. You should start the process for replacement by learning more about new furnaces promptly.

Constant Repairs

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

Larger Energy Bills

Old furnaces are less efficient. If yours hasn’t undergone routine furnace maintenance, you risk losing further furnace efficiency and ending up with increasing energy costs.

Weak 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 Benefits of a New Furnace

While furnace installation sounds complicated, new furnaces include new features older systems can’t contend with. In addition, you’ll be able to relax knowing you don’t need to replace your system for the immediate future.

A new furnace can offer:

1. Improved Efficiency

Modern furnaces are very dependable and provide much better efficiency ratings compared to systems from 20 years ago.

2. Less Noise During Operation

A new furnace offers the latest in quiet operation technology. You may not even notice when it switches on.

3. Peace of Mind

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

Furnace Installation: Frequently Asked Questions

Proper sizing is based on factors like home size, building envelope, window efficiency, layout, and regional weather. Many contractors use a Manual J-style calculation to avoid problems caused by oversizing, such as uneven comfort.
Many installations are completed in a single day, but timing can vary depending on ductwork modifications, 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 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 have someone available for questions. 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 system options and expected performance for your home.
