When To Replace Your Furnace

Many homeowners are unsure when furnace repair or replacement is the best option. Below are factors to consider when deciding whether to repair or replace.

  • Age: Furnaces typically last 15–20 years before needing replacing, as older units are more prone to breakdowns and inefficiency.
  • Frequent Repairs: If you find yourself calling in for furnace repairs more frequently, investing in a new one might be more cost-effective in terms of reliability and efficiency. Constant repairs add up over time while upgrading can provide you with a more dependable heating system.
  • Soaring Energy Bills: Over time, furnaces become less energy-efficient, increasing energy usage, and ultimately driving up utility costs. If you have noticed an uptick in heating expenses, investing in a new furnace could significantly cut back your costs and help lower energy expenses.
  • Uneven Heating: If certain parts of your home remain consistently cooler than others, or your furnace cannot maintain an ideal temperature setting, it could be an indicator that its capabilities have diminished and that you require a new unit to sufficiently warm your space.

Signs You Need Furnace Replacement

Furnaces can display signs the system needs replacement, such as:

  • Frequent Breakdowns: If your furnace is experiencing frequent breakdowns requiring costly repairs, it may be more cost-effective to purchase an alternative unit altogether.
  • Uneven Heating: If your furnace cannot distribute heat evenly throughout your home, creating cold spots or an inconsistent temperature, it could be time for furnace replacement.
  • Noisy Operation: Any form of increased noise, such as rattling, banging, or squealing, indicates your furnace may be nearing the end of its lifespan and should be considered an indication for replacement.

Benefits Of Installing A New Furnace

Investing in a new furnace for your home can present various benefits, such as:

  • Increased Energy Efficiency: Modern furnaces are engineered to be more energy-efficient, which can reduce heating costs and help save on utility bills.
  • Improved Comfort: Modern furnaces offer more consistent and reliable heating, helping ensure that you remain cozy during wintertime.
  • Better Indoor Air Quality: Filtration systems offer significant indoor air quality improvements by filtering out allergens such as pollen or dust mites as well as contaminants like pet dander or mold from entering and polluting it further.
  • Peace of Mind: With a new furnace comes increased reliability, decreasing the likelihood of breakdowns and costly repairs—giving you peace of mind that your heating system is functioning optimally.

The service technician did a very very nice job was very professional and quick solving our problem
12/20/24 - Today, we stepped outside our standard "periotic, scheduled" routine!We're in the new home w/ a 1.5-yrold Trane system that, suddenly, ~10 days ago, began "growling" as the air handler spoioled up. Once on-speed, the growling sound faded away, but ... I believe the unusual sound was a "warning" of bad things to come, and I don't wait for "system failure" to seek corrective help!I called Gabbie, SouthernAir, ~1045, and by 1430, Justin was on-site! We talked, Justin listened very carefully, and monitored the fan start-up sequence; then methodically, w/ a solid theory, went to work! I'm not one who puts "bandaids" on discrepancies; Justin worked w/ that! He adjusted the speed of our blower fan, which, for now, has eliminated the "off-balance start-up growling" sound, with a "Plan B" to replace the blower fan with a balanced component as the future dictates!These guys and gals from SouthernAir really, really know their stuff, and we could not be more pleased!!-- End, This Event--We use periodic, scheduled maintenance to avoid breakdowns. So far, the concept has proven flawless! Robert Wright is our go-to tech; there can be no better example of customer service, and no better ambassador to represent his company! Somebody drives this Southern Air team to excellence - it, clearly, has caught on, and permeated their ops repeatedly, consistently, thoroughly, from the office staff to the tech's in the field! They are the Best!!1/31/23 - Consistently excellent, by every measure; On time, every time!! There can be none better!!10/11/23 -Robt Wright "bats _cleanup_" for a reason! He consistently hits it "outta the ballpark", and still finds quality time to educate me!We have a very "tight" space, tucked into our attic, where our air handler resides! How Robt negotiates that space is nothing short of miraculous! (He must be "part shape-shifter"!🤔)Beyond being incredibly well trained and technically knowledgeable, his people skills are truly impressive; an exceptionally polished, consumate professional; makes his job look and sound easy! He's the best, as are those administrators, managers, and leaders who support him! Southern Air really has their act together!!07/30/24 -Robert Wright is "our guy"! He IS, and DOES every single thing ... right! (No pun intended!) Robert IS the very best in the industry! He is continuously on top of his game; an A+ on every scale, by every metric!Southern Air continues to hit the ball outta the park, year after year; season after season, from price to communications to technical excellence and responsiveness in the field!
Response from the owner: Hello! Thank you for the glowing review for our team. We agree, our team and customers are the best around! Anytime you need us, we'll be here to help.
Jamar was so professional, knowledgeable and helpful. Southern Air continues to impress me.
Response from the owner: Jaime we appreciate you and thank you for your business!

Big shout Thanks to Jason for coming out and fixing my AC unit. He was nice, kind and respectful, he told me step by step everything that happened.
