Furnace Repair vs. Replacement: 3 factors to consider
Looking at the price for the repair (especially if this isn’t the first time you’ve had a problem) you probably start to wonder: “Should I repair my furnace, or replace it?” Faced with this sort of decision, we advise customers to consider the following 3 factors:
Safety
It’s more than just a saying in our business: Safety must always come first. If your furnace or home heating system is posing any kind of safety hazard, it’s a strong indication you need to replace it, especially if making a repair might be impermanent or expensive.
For example, if the heat exchanger on your furnace is cracked, it could cause carbon monoxide to leak into the air you breathe and that could be fatal. With that sort of risk, the choice is a little more clear. However, things like a stuck valve or faulty wiring probably only need to be repaired. Whatever the issue, our certified technicians will provide a cost-benefit analysis and discuss with you in detail the various options to help you make the best decision for your unique situation.
Age of Unit
With the average lifespan of a furnace ranging between 15 and 20 years, you’ll want to compare your unit’s age to how it’s performing. If you don’t know how old it is, you can usually find out by looking at it: Most installers write down the date of installation on the face of the unit. If it’s not there, you can also look for the serial number and model information on the metal identification plate inside the door. With that, you can call the manufacturer to learn the date of the unit. Having said all that, if your unit is more than 20 years old, it doesn’t necessarily mean you should replace it. When it comes to HVAC systems, ages are just averages. Some units are better than others and last longer than others. A variety of factors can prolong your HVAC system’s lifespan. The most important factor to remember is seasonal maintenance.
Heating Efficiency
If your home heating system isn’t operating efficiently, it won’t heat your home as effectively, which ends up costing you more. One of the best indicators that your heater is running inefficiently is when certain rooms in your home don’t reach the temperature to which you have your thermostat set. This happens more with older systems, which tend to have trouble heating the entire house. You will know this is occurring when certain rooms feel warmer than others.

Common Furnace Installation Questions & Answers
How Efficient is a New Heating System?
How much time does it take to install a new unit?
What Sort of Warranty Comes With A New Heating System?
Upgrading to a new system can lower your monthly heating bills by as much as 50 percent. Combine this with the cost of repairing an old system multiple times and a different picture emerges. Although high-efficiency gas furnaces that operate at an efficiency of 95 percent or more have been around for a while, we encounter a lot of older units performing at half of their capacity or worse. This means for every therm of heat going into the home, another therm of heat is escaping (either through the attic, the basement, a crawl space, or a furnace exhaust pipe). Today’s technology has dramatically improved the efficiencies of gas and electric furnaces, allowing them to run in stages, or at speeds, so they’re not always running at full speed.
