When to Repair vs. Replace Your Furnace

It’s the most common question homeowners ask: “Should I repair my furnace or replace it?”

Here are some general rules of thumb:

  • Age: Furnaces last about 15–20 years. If yours is past 15 and breaking down often, replacement may be smarter.
  • Cost of Repair: If repairs cost more than 50% of a new furnace, replacement is usually more cost-effective.
  • Energy Bills: Older furnaces (<80% AFUE) waste energy. A new 95–98% model can drastically reduce monthly bills.
  • Performance: If your furnace struggles to keep rooms warm or cycles constantly, it may be undersized or at the end of its life.

     

We’ll walk you through your options with honest advice, never pushing for replacement if a repair will suffice.
