Is It Better to Repair or Replace My Furnace?

While no one can predict exactly when your furnace will break down, there are some signs that your furnace needs to be replaced.

The Age of the Furnace

Heaters usually last around 12–17 years. If the heater is 15 years old (or older), it has a greater chance of failing. You should be prepared for replacement by comparing new furnaces now.

Frequent Repairs

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

Increased Energy Bills

Old furnaces are not as efficient. If you haven’t scheduled preventative furnace maintenance, you risk losing additional furnace efficiency and having higher energy costs.

Spotty Heating

An old furnace can struggle to keep up with heating your home. Broken ductwork and a clogged furnace filter can also cause issues.

Three Benefits of a New Furnace

While furnace installation may seem intimidating, new furnaces include new features worn down systems can’t contend with. Additionally, you’ll be able to relax knowing you won’t need to replace your system for years to come.

A new furnace could mean:

1. Improved Efficiency

Todays furnaces are highly reliable and provide exceptionally better efficiency ratings compared to furnaces from 20 years ago.

2. Less Noise During Operation

Modern furnaces offer the latest in quiet operation technology. You may not even notice when it switches on.

3. Peace of Mind

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

Frequently Asked Questions: Furnace Installation

Proper sizing is based on factors like square footage, building envelope, window efficiency, ceiling height, 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 a single day, but timing can vary depending on ductwork modifications, 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 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, keep pets in another room, and make sure the thermostat is easy to reach. After installation, the team should test operation, show you how to use it, and explain filter replacement.
A newer furnace can improve efficiency, but savings depend on your current equipment condition, temperature settings, air leaks, and overall heat loss. A technician can help you compare system options and expected performance for your home.
