Is It Better to Repair or Replace My Furnace?

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

Furnace Age

Heaters usually last about 12–17 years. If the heater is 15 years old (or more), it has an increased risk of failing. You should start the process for replacement by researching new furnaces now.

Constant Repairs

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

Larger Energy Bills

Old furnaces won’t be as efficient. If yours hasn’t undergone routine furnace maintenance, you risk losing additional furnace efficiency and dealing with higher energy costs.

Spotty Heating

An aging heater can do a poor job at heating your home. Leaky ductwork and a dirty furnace filter can also stir up trouble.

Three Advantages of a New Furnace

While furnace installation may seem intimidating, new furnaces offer benefits worn down systems can’t compete with. Additionally, you can relax knowing you don’t need to replace your system for years to come.

A new furnace could mean:

1. Improved Efficiency

New furnaces are extremely dependable and offer exceptionally better efficiency ratings than furnaces from 20 years ago.

2. Quieter Operation

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

3. Peace of Mind

The latest HVAC technology ensures your furnace will last longer and run with increased energy efficiency. With our service agreements, you’ll never miss an important yearly tune-up again.

Furnace Installation FAQs

Proper sizing is based on factors like square footage, insulation levels, 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 one visit, but timing can vary depending on ductwork modifications, 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 make sure the thermostat is easy to reach. After installation, the team should test operation, review system settings, and explain filter replacement.
A newer furnace can improve efficiency, but savings depend on your current equipment condition, thermostat habits, ductwork condition, and overall heat loss. A technician can help you compare system options and expected performance for your home.
