When it is time to replace your aging furnace, our technicians have you covered with quality furnace replacement and installation services! The Southern Air team of knowledgeable technicians specializes in helping homeowners select a furnace tailored specifically to their heating needs and efficiently provides smooth installations.

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.

Jamar checked the air handler as it was making a strange noise. He said it most likely was doing that because the air filter was very dirty. I changed the filter last night & we could not hear it anymore. While he was here, he checked the system out & all was running ok!
Response from the owner:Louise, thanks for taking the time to share this. I’m glad Jamar was able to pinpoint the likely cause and that changing the filter solved the noise right away. We appreciate you choosing Southern Air, and it’s great to hear everything else checked out and is running well.
