Is It Better to Repair or Replace My Furnace?

While you can’t predict precisely when your furnace will fail, there are a couple of warning signs that the furnace should be replaced.

The Age of the Furnace

Heaters generally last between 12–17 years. If a furnace is 15 years old (or older), there is a greater risk of breaking down. You should be prepared for replacement by researching new furnaces promptly.

Constant Repairs

You should consider HVAC replacement if yours needs repairs more often.

Larger Energy Bills

Worn down furnaces are not as efficient. If yours hasn’t undergone preventative furnace maintenance, you risk losing additional furnace efficiency and dealing with steeper energy costs.

Weak Heating

An aging HVAC system can struggle to properly heat your home. Bad ductwork and a clogged furnace filter can also cause issues.

Three Benefits of a New Furnace

While furnace installation sounds complicated, new furnaces offer benefits older systems can’t compete with. Additionally, you can sit back and relax knowing you won’t have to replace your system for a long time.

A new furnace should provide:

1. Better Efficiency

Modern furnaces are extremely resilient and provide higher efficiency ratings compared to models from 20 years ago.

2. Quieter Operation

Modern furnaces offer the latest in quiet operation technology. You may not even notice when it switches on.

3. Peace of Mind

The latest 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 miss an important yearly tune-up again.

FAQ: Furnace Installation

Proper sizing is based on factors like square footage, insulation levels, air leakage, layout, and local climate. Many contractors use a Manual J-style calculation to avoid problems caused by undersizing, such as uneven comfort.
Many installations are completed in a single day, but timing can vary depending on venting changes, 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 compatibility—especially with modulating 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 test operation, review system settings, and explain filter replacement.
A newer furnace can improve efficiency, but savings depend on how old your system is, thermostat habits, air leaks, and home insulation. A technician can help you compare efficiency ratings and expected performance for your home.
