Residential Furnace Replacement

Armstrong sincerely hopes you have been practicing good HVAC maintenance on your furnace. Modern heating systems are a marvel of reliability when they are taken care of. But even then, the time will come when it’s time to replace the old one with a new and more efficient model.

Repair or replace?

Many times, homeowners struggle to answer this question and it’s completely understandable. A new heating system is a major investment so wanting to keep the old one for as long as possible is natural. That said, the time will arrive when it makes no sense to put any more money into repairs. Here are some common sense questions that can help you decide:

  • Have you had to repair your heating system in the last year?
  • Are your monthly heating bills getting more expensive?
  • Have you been told you will need or anticipate additional repairs in the near future?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, we urge you to call Armstrong to arrange a no-obligation estimate to replace your current furnace.

Key factors

There are some key factors to consider before making a final decision:

Age—A well maintained furnace should last 15-20 years. If your heating system is in that range, you need to think long and hard before investing a significant amount of money to fix it. If the furnace is ten or fewer years old, then repairs might make more sense.

Maintenance history—This goes hand-in-hand with age, but you must be honest with yourself.

  • Have the filters been changed regularly?
  • Was professional maintenance performed at least once a year?

If the honest answers are yes, then chances are good the furnace will last longer. If you answered no, then odds are more and more repairs will be needed as the heating system ages.

Efficiency—Many furnaces still in use have AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) ratings of 70% or even less. A new high-efficiency furnace is 95% efficient. It’s very common to cut energy costs as much as 30 percent when you install new equipment. Those savings should be an important factor when making the decision to repair or replace.
