How do I know if my furnace needs to be replaced rather than repaired?

If your furnace is over 15 years old, repair costs are becoming frequent and expensive, or it operates very noisily even after repairs, replacement is often the better choice. As furnaces age, the cost and effort to maintain them eventually outweighs the benefit of repairs.

Will a new furnace really save me money on heating costs?

Yes. New furnaces are significantly more efficient than older models due to advances in HVAC technology. You will also avoid escalating repair costs that come with aging furnaces, keeping more money in your pocket over time.

What is a closed combustion chamber and why does it matter?

A closed combustion chamber is a safety feature in modern furnaces that contains the combustion process and prevents dangerous gases from entering your home. This is a major safety improvement over older furnace models.

Do I still need to light a pilot light on a new furnace?

No. Modern furnaces use electronic ignition systems instead of pilot lights. You won’t have to worry about lighting them when they go out or before the heating season begins each fall.

Are new furnaces quieter than the older models?

Yes. Newer furnaces are generally quieter than older units. Higher-rated furnaces with variable speed motors and electronic controls operate especially quietly, providing a more comfortable home environment.

Benefits of a New Furnace

The benefits of a new furnace stretch beyond just having a new unit’s reliability. A new furnace will be much safer and more efficient than your old one. Keep your family safe and your money where it belongs, in your pocket.

New furnaces are much safer. They utilize a closed combustion chamber to keep any dangerous gasses from entering your home.

No more pilot lights. New furnaces utilize an electronic igniting system. You will not have to worry about lighting pilot lights whenever they go out or before you begin heating at the start of every fall season.

Lower maintenance costs. As your furnace gets older, it will inevitably cost you more in repairs. Things will begin to wear out, and that will cause you to spend more money on service costs.

Newer furnaces are commonly quieter than older furnaces. Especially the higher-rated furnaces that begin to utilize the variable speeds and electronic controls.

The newest technology. HVAC technology has made leaps and bounds in recent years. When you upgrade, you gain access to modern heating solutions and controls.
