Do I Need To Repair or Replace My Furnace?

While no one can predict exactly when your furnace will go out, there are a few warning signs that your furnace has to be replaced.

The Age of the Furnace

Furnaces typically last around 12–17 years. If the heater is 15 years old (or older), you have a higher chance of failing. You should start to prepare for replacement by learning more about new furnaces ahead of time.

Frequent Repairs

You should think about HVAC installation if a furnace needs repairs more frequently.

Larger Energy Bills

Worn down furnaces are less efficient. If you’ve put off yearly furnace maintenance, you risk losing additional furnace efficiency and dealing with steeper energy costs.

Spotty Heating

An older heater can struggle to keep up with heating your home. Broken ductwork and a clogged furnace filter can also stir up trouble.

Three Benefits of a New Furnace

While furnace installation may seem overwhelming, new furnaces can boast efficiency outdated systems can’t compete with. Additionally, 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. Better Efficiency

New furnaces are extremely resilient and offer exceptionally better efficiency ratings than models from 20 years ago.

2. Less Noise During Operation

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

3. Peace of Mind

The latest HVAC technology ensures your heater will last longer and run with greater energy efficiency. With one of our service agreements, you’ll never forget an important furnace tune-up again.

Furnace Installation FAQ

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 oversizing, such as short cycling.
Many installations are completed in a single day, but timing can vary depending on ductwork modifications, electrical or gas updates, permits and inspections, and whether you’re changing system type. 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 two-stage systems or advanced features. Your contractor can confirm wiring compatibility and recommend the best option.
Before the appointment, it helps to make the mechanical area accessible, secure pets, and make sure the thermostat is easy to reach. 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 how old your system is, thermostat habits, air leaks, and home insulation. A technician can help you compare system options and expected performance for your home.
