Should I Repair or Replace My Furnace?

While no one can predict exactly when your furnace will go out, there are a few clues that the furnace should be replaced.

The Age of the Furnace

Heaters typically last between 12–17 years. If a furnace is 15 years old (or more), there is a greater chance of breaking down. You should be prepared for replacement by researching new furnaces now.

Frequent Repairs

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

Larger Energy Bills

Worn down furnaces won’t be as efficient. If yours hasn’t undergone preventative furnace maintenance, you’re at risk of losing further furnace efficiency and ending up with increasing energy costs.

Spotty Heating

An old furnace 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While furnace installation can feel daunting, new furnaces can boast efficiency outdated systems can’t keep up with. Plus, you can sit back and relax knowing you won’t need to replace your system for the immediate future.

A new furnace could mean:

1. Improved Efficiency

Todays furnaces are highly dependable and provide exceptionally better efficiency ratings than equipment 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 starts running.

3. Peace of Mind

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

Frequently Asked Questions: Furnace Installation

Proper sizing is based on factors like square footage, insulation levels, air leakage, layout, and regional weather. Many contractors use a load calculation to avoid problems caused by undersizing, such as uneven comfort.
Many installations are completed in one visit, but timing can vary depending on venting changes, electrical or gas updates, local requirements, and whether you’re changing system type. 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, 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 your current equipment condition, temperature settings, air leaks, and home insulation. A technician can help you compare system options and expected performance for your home.
