Do I Need To Repair or Replace My Furnace?

While no one can predict exactly when your furnace will break down, there are a couple of clues that the furnace should be replaced.

How Old Your Furnace Is

Heating systems generally last about 12–17 years. If yours is 15 years old (or more), it has a greater chance of failing. You should start to prepare for replacement by learning more about new furnaces now.

Continual Repairs

You should opt for HVAC replacement if the heating needs repairs more often.

Increased Energy Bills

Older furnaces won’t be as efficient. If you’ve put off preventative furnace maintenance, you risk losing further furnace efficiency and ending up with steeper energy costs.

Weak Heating

An older HVAC system can do a poor job at heating your home. Bad ductwork and a dirty furnace filter can also lead to problems.

Three Advantages of a New Furnace

While furnace installation sounds overwhelming, new furnaces offer benefits worn down systems can’t contend with. Additionally, you can sit back and relax knowing you don’t need to replace your system for years to come.

A new furnace can offer:

1. Better Efficiency

New furnaces are extremely dependable and provide higher efficiency ratings versus 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

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

Furnace Installation FAQs

Proper sizing is based on factors like home size, insulation levels, air leakage, ceiling height, and regional weather. Many contractors use a Manual J-style calculation to avoid problems caused by undersizing, such as short cycling.
Many installations are completed in a single day, 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 compatibility—especially with modulating systems or variable-speed blowers. Your contractor can confirm control requirements and recommend the best option.
Before the appointment, it helps to make the mechanical area accessible, keep pets in another room, and have someone available for questions. After installation, the team should verify safety controls, show you how to use it, and explain maintenance needs.
A newer furnace can improve efficiency, but savings depend on how old your system is, temperature settings, ductwork condition, and home insulation. A technician can help you compare efficiency ratings and expected performance for your home.
