When Do You Need Furnace Repair or Replacement?
As your furnace ages, it will experience wear and tear, and its parts will become degraded. With proper care and maintenance, you can extend the lifespan of your furnace and reduce the risk of needing furnace replacement. Eventually, however, all furnaces will stop working as efficiently as they used to or stop working at all. Most furnaces need to be replaced when they are 15-20 years old. When our experienced service technicians inspect your furnace, we will consider a few factors before recommending furnace repair services or furnace replacement services:
Age
Most furnaces stop working as efficiently after 10 years. If your furnace is over 10 years old, we will typically recommend replacement rather than repair.
Condition
If your furnace is in poor condition, was installed improperly, or never received routine maintenance services, it may cost more to repair than it would to replace it. Repairing a furnace that is in poor condition means that it will operate inefficiently, and your heating bills may increase.
Performance
If you have a large home or a big household and your furnace is small and not performing well, it may not make sense to repair it. You will likely still have issues with poor performance and discomfort in your home. We may recommend an energy-efficient furnace replacement so that you have a furnace that makes more sense for the size of your home and family.
Repair and Maintenance History
If your furnace has to be repaired multiple times a year or has never undergone routine maintenance, it may not be work repairing. We will find the most cost-effective solutions for your furnace problems, and sometimes furnace replacement is smarter and more cost-effective than furnace repair.
Comfort
Above all, we want to make the decision that will increase the comfort of your home and the comfort of your family. If your home is always too cold or has multiple cold spots despite running your furnace non-stop, you may need to consider replacing your furnace.
Choosing the Right Type of Furnace for Your Home
Our technicians have years of experience in furnace service. They can help you choose the right furnace for your home based on its size, number of people, energy efficiency, and budget. We can help you choose between electric, oil, propane, and natural gas furnaces and help you find the most energy-efficient option for your home. Let’s take a look at each type of furnace:
Electric
Electric furnaces are often the least expensive and simplest to install and maintain. However, depending on the cost of electricity in your area, they are often the most expensive to operate. Electric furnaces require ductwork, so if your home doesn’t already have ductwork, this will be a very expensive option.
Natural Gas
Natural gas furnaces are often the least expensive to operate. They also require ductwork, however, and are not as safe as electric furnaces. They are typically more powerful and energy-efficient than electric furnaces, however.
Oil
An oil furnace operates the same as a natural gas furnace and requires ductwork. Because oil burns at a hotter temperature, these furnaces heat homes faster; however, they require an oil tank installation.
Propane
Propane furnaces operate like natural gas furnaces and require the installation of propane tanks on your property or frequently replacing propane tanks. Propane furnaces are very efficient and don’t require as much fuel as other furnaces to produce the same amount of warmth.
