It depends on a lot of different factors, including furnace age, efficiency, and what’s wrong with your system. We consider the overall cost of repairs and the age of your system when making recommendations.

Furnaces approaching the end of their typical lifespan, usually 15 to 20 years, often aren’t worth repairing when significant issues arise, since you probably won’t get much more use out of the system. Plus, older furnaces often have more breakdowns as components fail more frequently. When repair costs exceed 50% of a replacement, a new furnace is often more economical in the long term.

If your furnace is newer and breaks down, even serious issues may be worth repairing. Plus, it may still be covered by a manufacturer’s warranty, which can reduce your out-of-pocket expenses. Regardless of furnace age, minor issues, like a faulty thermostat or blower motor, can often be repaired, pushing off the need for a total replacement.

However, the best way to know whether your furnace needs a repair or replacement is to have it inspected by an experienced technician. They can diagnose any issues, evaluate your system for potential future problems, and make recommendations based on your specific furnace.

Investing in routine annual tune-ups is the best way to maintain your furnace. This helps prevent breakdowns by cleaning and inspecting components for signs of wear.

Beyond that, avoid postponing repairs once you know they’re necessary. A furnace that requires work usually runs less efficiently, putting additional strain and unnecessary wear and tear on your system. This can reduce your system’s lifespan or even result in more catastrophic failures later.

We offer our BonneyBeyond membership for exactly this purpose. Not only do you get an annual furnace inspection, but you also receive discounts on all services and priority scheduling for appointments. We even extend our warranties for our members, so you know you’re getting lasting coverage.

If the cost of a new furnace installation is too much for you to pay in one lump sum, we offer financing options that might help. We partner with several finance providers to break your costs into more affordable monthly payments.

Notably, we offer Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing options. PACE allows you to incorporate the cost of energy-efficient upgrades into your property tax bills.

After installing the new furnace, we perform a test run to ensure everything works. If necessary, we’ll make final adjustments and answer questions you might have about your new system.

We care about your satisfaction and respect your home. Before we go, we clean up any mess we made so you don’t have to.

Your home might benefit from a more energy-efficient furnace if you’ve noticed that your power bills have been higher than usual for no obvious reason. As furnaces age, they lose efficiency, resulting in greater power consumption. Older models also tend to be less energy-efficient in general, so if it’s been longer than 10 years since your furnace was last replaced, it’s likely time to consider an upgrade.

According to the US Department of Energy, an ENERGY STAR furnace, which must have an AFUE rating of at least 95%, could save over $1,000 in energy costs over its lifespan. Choosing models with a 99% AFUE rating can result in over $1,300 in lifetime savings.
