Signs You Need a Furnace Replacement

A furnace can last 15-20 years with proper maintenance, but as it ages, it may become less efficient and require frequent repairs. Here are some signs that it’s time to consider a furnace replacement:

  • Frequent Repairs: If your furnace needs constant repairs, replacing it may be more cost-effective.
  • Rising Energy Bills: An inefficient furnace works harder, increasing your heating costs.
  • Uneven Heating: If some rooms are too hot or too cold, your furnace may not be distributing heat properly.
  • Strange Noises: Rattling, banging, or squealing sounds can indicate mechanical failure.
  • Yellow Burner Flame: A healthy furnace flame is blue; a yellow flame may indicate carbon monoxide leaks.
  • Poor Air Quality: An old furnace may circulate dust, allergens, and pollutants, affecting indoor air quality.

If your furnace is over 15 years old and showing these signs, a new energy-efficient model can improve comfort and lower your utility bills.

Fuel Type
