Should I Repair or Replace My Furnace?

While no one can predict exactly when your furnace will break down, there are a few signs that your furnace should be replaced.

Furnace Age

Furnaces typically last between 12–17 years. If yours is 15 years old (or more), there is a higher chance of shutting down. You should start to prepare for replacement by comparing new furnaces now.

Frequent Repairs

You should consider HVAC replacement if a furnace needs repairs more consistently.

Higher Energy Bills

Worn down furnaces won’t be as efficient. If you’ve put off routine furnace maintenance, you’re at risk of losing even more furnace efficiency and ending up with increasing energy costs.

Inconsistent Heating

An aging furnace can do a poor job at heating your home. Leaky ductwork and a dirty furnace filter can also lead to problems.

Three Benefits of a New Furnace

While furnace installation can feel intimidating, new furnaces offer benefits older systems can’t contend with. Additionally, you’ll be able to relax knowing you don’t need to replace your system for a long time.

A new furnace should provide:

1. Increased Efficiency

Todays furnaces are highly dependable and can boast higher efficiency ratings versus models from 20 years ago.

2. Quieter Operation

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

3. Peace of Mind

The latest HVAC technology ensures your furnace will last longer and run with greater energy efficiency. With maintenance service agreements, you’ll never lose out on an important annual tune-up again.

FAQ: Furnace Installation

Proper sizing is based on factors like home size, insulation levels, air leakage, ceiling height, and local climate. Many contractors use a Manual J-style calculation to avoid problems caused by undersizing, such as short cycling.
Many installations are completed in one visit, but timing can vary depending on ductwork modifications, electrical or gas updates, local requirements, and whether you’re changing system type. 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 wiring compatibility and recommend the best option.
Before the appointment, it helps to clear a path to the furnace, 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, temperature settings, air leaks, and overall heat loss. A technician can help you compare efficiency ratings and expected performance for your home.
