Furnace Installation/Replacement

Signs Your Furnace Might Need To Be Replaced

  • Age of the Furnace:

    Furnaces typically have a lifespan of 15-20 years. If your furnace is reaching or surpassing this age range, it may be more prone to breakdowns and inefficiencies, signaling the need for a replacement

  • Frequent Repairs:

    If you find yourself frequently calling for repairs or if the repair costs are accumulating, it might be more cost-effective to invest in a new furnace. A pattern of breakdowns indicates that the system is no longer reliable.

  • Increased Energy Bills:

    Older furnaces tend to lose efficiency over time. If you notice a significant and unexplained increase in your energy bills, your furnace may be working harder to provide the same level of heating, signaling reduced efficiency.

  • Uneven Heating:

    If certain rooms in your home are consistently colder than others, or if you experience uneven heating throughout the house, it could be a sign of an aging furnace struggling to distribute heat evenly

  • Strange Noises:

    Unusual sounds such as banging, rattling, or squealing coming from your furnace may indicate mechanical issues. These noises can be a sign that components are wearing out, and replacement might be more cost-effective than multiple repairs

  • Yellow Pilot Light:

    A pilot light should burn blue. If it appears yellow, it may indicate the presence of carbon monoxide. This is a serious safety concern, and you should consult a professional immediately. In some cases, replacing the furnace might be the best course of action.

  • Visible Rust or Cracks:

    Rust or cracks in the furnace can indicate corrosion and structural issues. These issues can affect the furnace's performance and pose safety risks, warranting consideration for replacement

  • Carbon Monoxide Leaks:

    If you have a carbon monoxide leak, it's a critical issue. Symptoms include headaches, dizziness, nausea, and confusion. If your furnace is producing carbon monoxide, replacing it is imperative for the safety of your household

Frequently Asked Questions About Heating Replacement & Installation:

  • What kind of heating system should I purchase?

    The response to this question depends largely on the square footage of your home and your preference for energy efficiency. Geothermal systems, like heat pumps, stand out as the most efficient heating option, potentially reducing your energy expenses by as much as 70%. Gas furnaces are the most common form of heating in Phoenix and provide a consistently energy-efficient heating solution.

  • Is it cost-effective to replace my furnace if it requires frequent repairs?

    In many cases, frequent repairs can add up to a significant cost. If the repair costs are becoming comparable to or exceeding the cost of a new furnace, replacement may be more cost-effective in the long run.

  • Do I need to replace the entire HVAC system when replacing the furnace?

    Not necessarily. In some cases, only the furnace needs replacement. However, if your HVAC system is aging and inefficient, upgrading the entire system may be more cost-effective and provide better overall performance.

  • Are there financing options available for furnace replacement?

    We do offer financing options to help homeowners manage the upfront costs of furnace replacement.
