Do I Need To Repair or Replace My Furnace?

While it’s impossible to predict precisely when your furnace will break down, there are some signs that a furnace needs to be replaced.

The Age of the Furnace

Heaters usually last about 12–17 years. If yours is 15 years old (or more), you have an increased chance of breaking down. You should start the process for replacement by researching new furnaces ahead of time.

Frequent Repairs

You should think about HVAC installation if yours needs repairs more consistently.

Increased Energy Bills

Old furnaces won’t be as efficient. If you’ve put off preventative furnace maintenance, you risk losing additional furnace efficiency and dealing with steeper energy costs.

Spotty Heating

An older HVAC system can struggle to properly heat your home. Leaky ductwork and a dirty furnace filter can also stir up trouble.

Three Benefits of a New Furnace

While furnace installation sounds intimidating, new furnaces include new features outdated systems can’t contend with. Plus, you can relax knowing you won’t have to replace your system for the immediate future.

A new furnace should provide:

1. Increased Efficiency

Modern furnaces are very reliable and offer much better efficiency ratings compared to furnaces from 20 years ago.

2. Less Noise During Operation

A newer furnace includes the latest in quiet operation technology. You won’t always notice when it switches on.

3. Peace of Mind

Modern HVAC technology ensures your furnace will stay in good shape for longer and run with better 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, building envelope, air leakage, ceiling height, and local climate. Many contractors use a load 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 venting changes, electrical or gas updates, local requirements, 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 better control—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 clear a path to the furnace, secure pets, and make sure the thermostat is easy to reach. After installation, the team should verify safety controls, review system settings, and explain filter replacement.
A newer furnace can improve efficiency, but savings depend on how old your system is, temperature settings, air leaks, and overall heat loss. A technician can help you compare efficiency ratings and expected performance for your home.
