Do I Need Repair Services or a Full Furnace Replacement?
One of the most common questions that homeowners ask us is whether they need to repair or replace their furnace. The answer depends on several factors, such as the age, condition, efficiency, and performance of your furnace. Here are some guidelines that can help you make an informed decision:
Age: The average lifespan of a furnace is about 15 to 20 years, depending on the quality, maintenance, and usage of the unit. If your furnace is older than this range, it may be more prone to breakdowns, require more frequent repairs, and consume more energy than newer models. In this case, replacing your furnace may be a better option than repairing it, as you can benefit from improved reliability, comfort, and savings.
Condition: The condition of your furnace can also indicate whether you need to repair or replace it. If your furnace has been well-maintained and serviced regularly, it may still function well even if it is older. However, if your furnace has been neglected, damaged, or poorly installed, it may have serious issues that affect its safety and efficiency. For example, if your furnace has cracks in the heat exchanger, leaks in the gas lines, or faulty electrical wiring, it may pose a fire or carbon monoxide hazard. In this case, replacing your furnace may be a safer and more cost-effective option than repairing it.
Efficiency: The efficiency of your furnace can also influence whether you need to repair or replace it. Replacing your old, inefficient furnace with a new, high-efficiency model can help you save up to 30% on your heating bills, according to Energy Star.
Performance: The performance of your furnace can also help you decide whether you need to repair or replace it. If your furnace is not heating your home evenly, making loud or strange noises, cycling on and off frequently, or producing high levels of dust or humidity, it may indicate that your furnace is not working properly and needs to be repaired. However, if these problems persist even after repairing your furnace, or if the cost of the repair is more than 50% of the cost of a new furnace, it may be more economical and practical to replace your furnace instead of repairing it.
Ultimately, the decision to repair or replace your furnace depends on your situation, personal preference, budget, and comfort goals. At Fix-It Now Heating & Cooling, we can help you make the best choice for your home and your family. We offer professional furnace repair and replacement services, as well as free estimates, financing options, and satisfaction guarantees.

Signs That a Furnace May Need to Be Repaired or Replaced
How do you know if your furnace needs to be repaired or replaced? There are some common signs that can indicate that your furnace is not working properly and may need professional attention. Here are some of the signs that you should look out for:
Unusual noises: If your furnace is making loud or strange noises, such as banging, rattling, squealing, or hissing, it may indicate that something is wrong with the furnace. It could be a loose or broken part, a faulty burner, or a cracked heat exchanger. You should turn off your furnace and call a technician if you hear any unusual noises.
Low airflow: If your furnace is not producing enough warm air, or the air is not reaching all the rooms in your home, it may indicate that there is a problem with the airflow. It could be a dirty or clogged filter, a blocked or leaky duct, or a malfunctioning blower motor. You should check and replace your filter regularly, and call a technician if the problem persists.
Strange smells: If your furnace is emitting a strange or unpleasant smell, it may indicate that there is a problem with the furnace. It could be a gas leak, an electrical issue, or a dirty or moldy duct. You should turn off your furnace and call a technician if you smell gas, burning, or musty odors.
Uneven heating: If your furnace is not heating your home evenly, or some rooms are too hot or too cold, it may indicate that there is a problem with the furnace. It could be a faulty thermostat, a dirty or damaged burner, or an improper furnace size. You should check and adjust your thermostat settings, and call a technician if the problem persists.
High energy bills: If your furnace is consuming more energy than usual, or your energy bills are increasing, it may indicate that there is a problem with the furnace. It could be a low-efficiency furnace, a dirty or leaking system, or a lack of maintenance. You should schedule a furnace tune-up and cleaning, and call a technician if the problem persists.
By paying attention to these signs, you can catch and fix furnace problems before they become worse or cause a breakdown. However, if your furnace is old, inefficient, or beyond repair, you may need to replace it with a new one. A professional HVAC technician can help you determine the best course of action for your furnace.
Cost of Furnace Repairs
Furnace repairs can vary in cost depending on the type, age, and condition of your furnace, as well as the complexity and location of the problem. On average, furnace maintenance and repair services can range from $150 to $500, with some repairs costing more than $1,000. Here are some of the factors that can affect the cost of furnace repairs:
Type of furnace: Gas or electric furnaces will have different repair costs. Gas furnaces tend to be more expensive to repair than electric furnaces, as they involve more complex components and safety issues.
Age of furnace: An older furnace may require more repairs and maintenance than a newer one. As a furnace ages, it may experience more wear and tear, which can lead to more frequent and costly repairs.
Condition of furnace: The condition of your furnace can also influence the cost of repairs. If your furnace has been well-maintained and serviced regularly, it may still function well even if it is older. However, if your furnace has been neglected, damaged, or poorly installed, it may have serious issues that affect its performance and safety.
Complexity of repair: Simple repairs will cost less than complex repairs. For example, replacing a filter or a thermostat will cost less than replacing a heat exchanger or a blower motor.
Location of repair: Repair costs can vary depending on where you live and the availability of HVAC technicians in your area. Some areas may have higher or lower labor rates, travel fees, or taxes.
To get an accurate estimate of the cost of heating repairs in your area, it is best to contact a local furnace repair company and request a quote. They will be able to inspect your furnace and diagnose the problem, as well as provide you with the best solution and price.
Cost of Furnace Replacement
If your furnace is old, inefficient, or beyond repair, you may need to replace it with a new one. The cost of furnace replacement can range from $3,000 to $12,000, with an average cost closer to the lower end of that range. This price includes the cost of the new furnace unit, the installation materials and labor, and the removal and disposal of the old unit. With such a large range, there are many factors that can affect the cost of furnace replacement:
Type of furnace: The type of furnace you choose can have a significant impact on the cost of replacement. There are different types of furnaces available, such as gas, electric, oil, or heat pump. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, as well as different efficiency ratings and prices.
Size of furnace: The size of the furnace you need depends on the size and layout of your home, as well as your heating needs and preferences. A furnace that is too small or too large for your home can cause problems such as insufficient heating, uneven temperatures, or high energy bills. A professional HVAC technician can help you determine the right size of furnace for your home.
Brand of furnace: The brand of the furnace you choose can also affect the cost of replacement. There are many reputable brands of furnaces on the market, and each brand offers different features, warranties, and customer service. You should compare different brands and models of furnaces to find the one that suits your needs and budget, our team can help you narrow it down to the furnace that is the right fit for your home.
Installation of furnace: The installation of the furnace is another important factor that can influence the cost of replacement. The installation process involves removing the old unit, preparing the site, installing the new unit, connecting the ductwork and wiring, and testing the system. The installation cost can vary depending on the complexity and duration of the job, as well as the skill and experience of the installer.
To get an accurate estimate of the cost for your local furnace replacement, it is best to contact a HVAC company near you and request a quote. Fix-It Now Heating & Cooling is able to provide you with the best options and prices for your new furnace, as well as offer you financing and rebate options if available.
When to Call a Furnace Technician
While some furnace problems can be fixed by yourself, such as changing the filter or adjusting the thermostat, others may require the expertise and assistance of a professional furnace technician. You should call a furnace technician if you encounter any of the following situations:
Gas leak: If you smell gas or suspect a gas leak, you should shut off your furnace, open the windows, and get everyone out of the house immediately. Then, you should call a furnace technician and the gas company to fix the leak and ensure your safety. A gas leak can be very dangerous and cause fire, explosion, or carbon monoxide poisoning.
Carbon monoxide alarm: If your carbon monoxide alarm goes off, you should also shut off your furnace, open the windows, and get everyone out of the house immediately. Then, you should call the fire department to check the source and level of carbon monoxide in your home, and reach out to a technician to fix the issues. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and deadly gas that can be produced by a faulty or poorly vented furnace.
No heat: If your furnace is not producing any heat at all, you should call a furnace repair company to diagnose and fix the problem. It could be a problem with the thermostat, the pilot light, the gas valve, the ignitor, the blower motor, or the heat exchanger. An experienced technician can identify and repair the issue and restore your heat.
Water leak: If your furnace is leaking water, you should call a furnace technician to inspect and repair the leak. It could be a problem with the condensate drain, the humidifier, the evaporator coil, or the heat exchanger. A water leak can cause damage to your furnace and your home, as well as create mold and mildew problems.
Major repair: If your furnace needs a major repair, such as replacing a heat exchanger, a blower motor, or a gas valve, a technician can perform these types of repairs. These are complex and expensive parts that require special skills and tools to install. A certified HVAC technician can ensure that the repair is done correctly and safely.
By calling your local furnace repair company when you encounter any of these situations, you can prevent further damage to your furnace and your home, as well as protect your health and comfort.
