Is It Better to Repair or Replace My Furnace?

While no one can predict just when your furnace will go out, there are some warning signs that the furnace has to be replaced.

The Age of the Furnace

Heaters usually last about 12–17 years. If the heater is 15 years old (or older), there is a higher risk of shutting down. You should start to prepare for replacement by comparing new furnaces promptly.

Constant Repairs

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

Larger Energy Bills

Worn down furnaces are not as efficient. If yours hasn’t undergone yearly furnace maintenance, you’re vulnerable to losing further furnace efficiency and dealing with steeper energy costs.

Spotty Heating

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

Three Advantages of a New Furnace

While furnace installation may seem daunting, new furnaces include new features outdated systems can’t contend with. Plus, you can sit back and relax knowing you won’t need to replace your system for the immediate future.

A new furnace can offer:

1. Better Efficiency

Todays furnaces are highly reliable and can boast much better efficiency ratings than equipment from 20 years ago.

2. Less Noise During Operation

Modern furnaces offer the latest in quiet operation technology. You might not notice when it turns on.

3. Peace of Mind

Innovative HVAC technology ensures your heater will stay in good shape for longer and run with better energy efficiency. With our service agreements, you’ll never miss an important furnace tune-up again.

Furnace Installation Frequently Asked Questions

Proper sizing is based on factors like home size, insulation levels, air leakage, layout, and local climate. Many contractors use a Manual J-style calculation to avoid problems caused by oversizing, such as uneven comfort.
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 compatibility—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 have someone available for questions. 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, thermostat habits, air leaks, and overall heat loss. A technician can help you compare efficiency ratings and expected performance for your home.
