5 Signs Your Furnace Needs Replacing

​

Age: Your furnace is 15–20+ years old — most furnaces last 15–20 years before efficiency drops significantly
Rising energy bills: Your heating costs are climbing even though your usage hasn't changed
Frequent repairs: You've had 2 or more repairs in the past year — the costs are adding up
Uneven heating: Some rooms are warm while others stay cold, even with the thermostat cranked
Strange noises: Banging, rattling, squealing, or popping sounds that weren't there before

If any of these sound familiar, it's time for a professional assessment. We'll inspect your system and give you an honest recommendation — we'll never push a replacement if a repair makes more sense.

Frequently Asked Questions — Furnace Replacement

​

How long does a furnace installation take?
Most furnace replacements are completed in a single day — typically 4–8 hours depending on the complexity of the installation and any ductwork modifications needed.

​

How long do furnaces last?
A well-maintained gas furnace typically lasts 15–20 years. If your furnace is approaching or past this age range, replacement is usually more cost-effective than continued repairs.

​

Should I go with 80% or 96% efficiency?
If you're on a tight budget and your existing venting works well, 80% is a solid, reliable choice. If you want lower monthly bills and qualify for rebates, 96% will save you money over the life of the furnace. We'll help you compare the real-world numbers during your free estimate.
