Do I Need To Repair or Replace My Furnace?

While you can’t predict precisely when your furnace will break down, there are a few warning signs that the furnace has to be replaced.

Furnace Age

Heaters generally last about 12–17 years. If a furnace is 15 years old (or more), it has a greater chance of breaking down. You should start the process for replacement by learning more about new furnaces promptly.

Frequent Repairs

You should opt for HVAC installation if a furnace needs repairs more often.

Higher Energy Bills

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

Spotty Heating

An old HVAC system can struggle to keep up with heating your home. Bad ductwork and a dirty furnace filter can also stir up trouble.

Three Benefits of a New Furnace

While furnace installation can feel intimidating, new furnaces offer benefits older systems can’t keep up with. Additionally, you can relax knowing you won’t need to replace your system for years to come.

A new furnace should provide:

1. Better Efficiency

Todays furnaces are highly reliable and can boast much better efficiency ratings compared to systems from 20 years ago.

2. Quieter Operation

A new furnace offers the latest in quiet operation technology. You won’t always notice when it turns on.

3. Peace of Mind

Innovative HVAC technology ensures your heating will last longer and run with increased energy efficiency. With maintenance service agreements, you’ll never lose out on an important furnace tune-up again.

Furnace Installation FAQs

Proper sizing is based on factors like square footage, insulation levels, air leakage, ceiling height, and regional weather. Many contractors use a Manual J-style calculation to avoid problems caused by undersizing, such as uneven comfort.
Many installations are completed in one visit, but timing can vary depending on venting changes, utility connections, permits and inspections, and whether you’re changing system type. Your installer should provide a clear schedule before work begins.
Sometimes your existing thermostat works fine, but upgrades may be recommended for better control—especially with modulating systems or advanced features. Your contractor can confirm control requirements and recommend the best option.
Before the appointment, it helps to clear a path to the furnace, secure pets, and make sure the thermostat is easy to reach. After installation, the team should test operation, show you how to use it, and explain maintenance needs.
A newer furnace can improve efficiency, but savings depend on your current equipment condition, temperature settings, ductwork condition, and overall heat loss. A technician can help you compare system options and expected performance for your home.
