When Is It Time to Replace Your Furnace?
Furnaces are made to last about 15-20 years with proper maintenance and it isn’t always obvious when something is wrong until it breaks down completely. Here’s some items to consider:
Age of the Unit
Any furnace over 15 years old means parts are getting phased out and more expensive to source. It also increases the likelihood of safety issues like a cracked heat exchanger leaking carbon monoxide into the home.
Frequent Repairs
A single furnace repair in a season is relatively normal but multiple calls within a year indicate a unit that’s failing. Parts in older furnaces usually fail one after the other which means additional service calls that add up over time. If it’s cheaper in the long run to replace the unit we won’t push you but it’s important to have that conversation.
Inconsistent Temperatures
If one room is still cold while the others get way too hot then that’s a sign the unit is struggling to keep up. It can also point to a problem with your ductwork, which is why we always check both before quoting you on anything.
The Heat Exchanger is Cracked
Cracked heat exchangers can leak carbon monoxide and create a real safety risk within the home. If we find this our technician will shut off the unit and have everybody leave immediately. Look for visual rust around the unit and call your gas company right away if you suspect this.
Picking the Right Replacement Furnace
A lot of homeowners will match the previous unit and call it a day, which leads to problems down the line. To choose the proper unit you need to consider items like:
Energy Efficiency
Getting a unit with a higher AFUE rating can save you money over time although it costs more upfront. These high-efficiency units rank over 90% but may also require venting changes and a condensate line. We’ll go over all of that during our initial estimate that’s completely free to you.
Proper Sizing
Short cycling is what happens when the unit isn’t properly sized to the home. We do the proper sizing prior to installation because an oversized unit will cost you even more money. This is where matching the old unit falls short of expectations and leaves people wondering where their money went.
Switching Fuel Sources
A lot of homes have done a heat pump conversion due to the mild winters in the area. Many opt for a gas furnace too for dual fuel as an option so when the temperatures dip below 20 you have gas heat to keep your house warm.
The Cost Of A New Furnace
A lot of people don’t get their furnaces checked because they’re worried about the cost of a new unit. While we can’t provide any flat rate pricing, here’s what we’ll lay out in your free estimate:
- Price of the new unit
- Labor for installation
- Haulaway of the previous unit
- Ductwork or venting
- Permits
