What Are the Signs That It's Time to Replace a Furnace?

Navigating the decision to repair or replace your furnace can be challenging, but with Shafer Services Plus, you have a trusted expert by your side. We understand the intricacies of furnace performance and longevity. If you’re noticing persistent issues with your heating system, it may be a sign that a replacement is on the horizon. With our seasoned expertise and commitment to excellence, Shafer Services Plus is here to guide you through the process of identifying when it’s time for a new furnace, ensuring that your home remains a sanctuary of warmth and comfort.

  • Advanced Age: The average lifespan of a furnace is about 15-20 years. If your furnace is within this age range or older, it may be time to consider a replacement, especially if it requires frequent repairs.
  • Rising Energy Bills: Older furnaces often lose efficiency over time, especially if they have not been regularly maintained. If you notice a steady increase in your energy bills, it might be due to the furnace working harder to provide the same amount of heat.
  • Frequent Repairs: If you find yourself frequently calling HVAC technicians for repairs, the costs can quickly add up, making replacement a more economically viable option.

  • Inconsistent Temperatures: If some rooms are too hot while others are too cold, or if the furnace can't keep up with the thermostat settings, it may be a sign that the furnace can no longer distribute air properly.
  • Unusual Noises: Older furnaces often start making strange noises near the end of their life cycle. Loud banging, popping, rattling, or squealing noises are not typical and should be investigated.
  • Visible Signs of Rust or Corrosion: If you can see rust or other forms of deterioration on the furnace itself, especially around the burner or flue, the system might be compromised and could pose a safety risk.
  • Yellow Burner Flame: The burner flame should be blue. A yellow or flickering flame indicates that the gas is not burning cleanly and could be producing carbon monoxide.
  • Excessive Dust, Soot, or Dirt Particles: These can be a sign of a furnace that's not operating efficiently and may be releasing excessive amounts of these byproducts into your home.
  • Carbon Monoxide Presence: Any indication of carbon monoxide production is a serious safety hazard. Symptoms include a yellow burner flame, streaks of soot around the furnace, excess moisture on windows or walls, rusting on flue pipes, or the presence of noxious smells.

Common Furnace Installation Questions

The cost of installing a new furnace can vary widely depending on several factors, including the type of furnace, its size and efficiency, local labor rates, and whether any additional ductwork or ventilation adjustments are needed. On average, homeowners might expect to pay between $2,500 and $6,000 for a standard mid-efficiency furnace. High-efficiency models and complex installations can increase the cost, sometimes upwards of $10,000.

The time it takes to install a furnace typically ranges from 4 to 8 hours. This can extend to a full day or more if there is extensive ductwork to be done, if the installation involves a comprehensive system upgrade, or if there are complications with the home’s existing infrastructure. It’s also possible that preparations or additional work, such as removing an old system or making space for the new unit, could extend the total project time.

It is often recommended to replace your old thermostat when installing a new furnace, especially if the new system has advanced features that require a compatible thermostat. Upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat can enhance energy efficiency and give you better control over your home’s heating.

A new furnace can usually work with existing ductwork, but an HVAC professional should inspect it to ensure it’s in good condition, properly sealed, and can handle the airflow of the new system. Sometimes, ductwork modifications or repairs may be needed for optimal performance and efficiency.

When selecting a new furnace, look for safety features such as an automatic shut-off in the event of overheating, flame rollout switches, pressure switches, and an oxygen depletion sensor. These features help prevent accidents, like fires or carbon monoxide leaks. It’s also important that the furnace has been tested and certified by recognized safety testing organizations.
