How do I know if my furnace needs to be replaced instead of repaired?

If your furnace is over 10–15 years old, requires frequent repairs, or struggles to maintain consistent temperatures, replacement may be the more practical option. A professional assessment can compare repair costs, efficiency, and long-term reliability before a recommendation is made.

How long does a furnace replacement usually take?

Most furnace replacements are completed within one day. This includes removing the old unit, installing the new system, connecting gas and electrical components, and testing the system to ensure safe and proper operation.

Will a new furnace reduce my heating and energy costs?

Modern high-efficiency furnaces are designed to use less energy while delivering consistent heat. Many homeowners notice lower monthly heating costs, improved comfort, and more even temperature control throughout the home after upgrading.

What furnace size or efficiency rating is right for my home?

The correct furnace depends on your home’s size, layout, insulation, and heating demands. An in-home evaluation allows technicians to recommend a properly sized system to avoid inefficiency, uneven heating, or unnecessary energy use.

Do I need to replace my thermostat when installing a new furnace?

In many cases, existing thermostats are compatible with new furnaces. However, upgrading to a modern or smart thermostat can improve efficiency, comfort control, and system performance, depending on the furnace model selected.

What happens to my old furnace after replacement?

Your old furnace is safely removed and properly disposed of according to local regulations. Any reusable materials are handled responsibly, and the installation area is cleaned before the job is completed.
