Is It Better to Repair or Replace My Furnace?

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

The Age of the Furnace

Heaters typically last about 12–17 years. If yours is 15 years old (or more), it has a greater risk of breaking down. You should be prepared for replacement by researching new furnaces promptly.

Constant Repairs

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

Increased Energy Bills

Worn down furnaces are less efficient. If yours hasn’t undergone annual furnace maintenance, you’re at risk of losing further furnace efficiency and having increasing energy costs.

Inconsistent Heating

An old HVAC system can struggle to keep up with heating your home. Bad ductwork and a dirty furnace filter can also cause issues.

Three Advantages of a New Furnace

While furnace installation sounds daunting, new furnaces offer benefits older systems can’t compete with. Plus, you’ll be able to relax knowing you don’t need to replace your system for a long time.

A new furnace could mean:

1. Increased Efficiency

Modern furnaces are very resilient and offer higher efficiency ratings compared to equipment 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 heating will last longer and run with better energy efficiency. With our service agreements, you’ll never forget an important annual tune-up again.

Furnace Installation: Frequently Asked Questions

Proper sizing is based on factors like square footage, building envelope, window efficiency, 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 clear schedule before work begins.
Sometimes your existing thermostat works fine, but upgrades may be recommended for compatibility—especially with two-stage systems or advanced features. Your contractor can confirm wiring compatibility and recommend the best option.
Before the appointment, it helps to make the mechanical area accessible, secure pets, 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 how old your system is, thermostat habits, ductwork condition, and home insulation. A technician can help you compare efficiency ratings and expected performance for your home.
