Should I Repair or Replace My Furnace?

While it’s impossible to predict just when your furnace will fail, there are a few warning signs that your furnace needs to be replaced.

Furnace Age

Heating systems typically last about 12–17 years. If the heater is 15 years old (or more), there is a greater possibility of failing. You should start to prepare for replacement by comparing new furnaces now.

Constant Repairs

You should consider HVAC replacement if a furnace needs repairs more frequently.

Increased Energy Bills

Old furnaces are less efficient. If yours hasn’t undergone yearly furnace maintenance, you’re vulnerable to losing further furnace efficiency and dealing with higher energy costs.

Spotty Heating

An older furnace can struggle to properly heat your home. Broken ductwork and a clogged furnace filter can also stir up trouble.

Three Advantages of a New Furnace

While furnace installation can feel intimidating, new furnaces include new features outdated systems can’t compete with. In addition, you’ll be able to relax knowing you won’t have to replace your system for years to come.

A new furnace can offer:

1. Better Efficiency

New furnaces are extremely resilient and can boast higher efficiency ratings versus equipment from 20 years ago.

2. Less Noise During Operation

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

3. Peace of Mind

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

Frequently Asked Questions: Furnace Installation

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 short cycling.
Many installations are completed in one visit, but timing can vary depending on venting changes, electrical or gas updates, permits and inspections, 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 better control—especially with two-stage 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 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, thermostat habits, ductwork condition, and overall heat loss. A technician can help you compare system options and expected performance for your home.
