Repairing vs. Replacing your Furnace

Is it Time to Upgrade?

When home heating equipment breaks down, fixing it can be quite a costly headache. And, if you find yourself needing to fix it more and more often, you may inquire as to whether it’s better to repair or replace your furnace. It’s a common question a lot of homeowners face.

Below we list 4 factors that will help you determine whether to repair or replace your furnace.

Age

Furnaces usually last around 15 years at least, and often even longer if they’re properly serviced and maintained over the years by a professional. Nevertheless, as a furnace gets older, shelling out for expensive repairs makes less and less sense.

Projected Cost of Repair

The age and condition of your furnace will help you determine how much you should spend for repairs. For example, spending a few hundred dollars on a furnace that’s middle-aged isn’t unreasonable. However, if the repair estimate comes to more than a thousand, your money is probably much better spent investing in a new model. The 50% rule states that if the cost of repair is more than 50% the cost of replacement, you should replace it.

Condition

Investing in repair parts and labor on a system that’s been running beautifully is usually well worth the money. However, if the furnace is loud, rusty, sooty, blowing cold air and running up your heating bill, it might be time to say goodbye, especially if there’s any safety issues.

Budget

To make this determination, you will have to crunch the numbers and see what you can afford. When you balance the cost to repair or replace a furnace, usually the repair has a lower upfront price tag. However, rebates and special offers, combined with your potential savings on fuel bills, can turn furnace replacement into a much more budget-friendly option.

A Homeowner’s Guide to Furnace Replacement

Before making a decision, consider the following three factors:

Furnace type

There are four main types of furnaces: natural gas, oil, electric, and propane. Electric furnaces can heat the air by exposing heated elements, while other types of furnaces typically require a heat exchanger or chamber that warms the surrounding air.

Energy Efficiency

So that consumers can compare efficiency ratings, the Federal Trade Commission requires all new furnaces display AFUE ratings. The AFUE represents the annual heat output of the furnace compared to the total annual energy consumed. An AFUE of 80 percent means that 80 percent of the energy heats the home while the other 20 percent escapes. AFUE does not include any heat lost through the duct system.

Although having a furnace with a high rating is important, the cost of the fuel source should also be taken into consideration as it can take away from the furnace’s efficiency. The most efficient furnace is an electric one. An electric furnace barely loses any energy. The AFUE rating for an electric furnace is 95 to 100%. However, in spite of the high-efficiency level, electricity is more expensive. This means electric furnaces the most expensive to run.

Size

Installing a furnace that’s properly sized is the essential to heating your home. If the home heating unit is too small, it won’t heat your entire home. A furnace that is too big, on the other hand, will waste money on fuel by generating heat you don’t need. A variety of factors determine the best size, including things like insulation, square footage, ceiling height and the number of windows. To guarantee we put the right size unit in a home, we perform an in-house evaluation that includes all these factors and more.
