When Do I Need to Consider Replacing My Furnace?
There comes a point for every furnace where continuing to pay for repairs just isn’t the most practical or cost-effective option. Deciding when to replace your home's furnace can feel like a big decision, but paying attention to certain signs can help you make the right choice for your comfort and your wallet.
One of the biggest factors to consider is the age of your furnace. Most furnaces have an average lifespan of about 15 to 20 years, though some well-maintained units might last even longer. If your furnace is approaching or has surpassed the 15-year mark, though, it's a good idea to start thinking about replacement, even if it's still running. Older models are simply less efficient than newer ones, and as they age, they tend to become less reliable.

The decision to replace or repair heating equipment is always one that should be made with the advice of our experts at Star City. We’ll evaluate the age and health of your system and give you a realistic forecast for future repairs.
Every home’s heating is unique. But generally, a furnace over 10 years old should be considered for replacement. As HVAC systems age and repair frequency increases, there comes a time when a new heating system will save you money in the long run.
-
High-efficiency furnaces save energy by operating with less heat waste than conventional furnaces. New heating technology and components make this possible. Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) is a measurement of how much heat a furnace can create from the fuel being consumed.
High-efficiency furnaces have an AFUE of at least 90% and sometimes as high as 98.5%! Older furnaces can have an AFUE rating as low as 80%. Because of this difference in fuel-burning efficiency, a new high-efficiency furnace can save you money on your energy bill!
-
The lifetime of any HVAC equipment is influenced by maintenance habits and the demands on the system. New home heating systems can last up to 15 years or more with annual tune-ups and proper care.
Star City offers a 10-Year Equipment Guarantee on all furnaces we install. When you choose to upgrade your furnace, enjoy peace of mind that your heating equipment is covered.
-
The price of a new heating system will vary depending on your heating requirements. The following factors influence installation price:
- The heating capacity of your equipment (size).
- The make and model of your heating system.
- Whether new ductwork needs to be installed.
- The features and ratings of your equipment.
When calculating the costs of a furnace replacement, consider the monthly energy costs savings. Our experts will also keep you informed of any rebate programs available in your region.

What Should I Consider When Choosing a New Furnace?
Choosing a new furnace is a significant investment that impacts your comfort, energy bills, and peace of mind for years to come. With so many options available, it can feel a bit overwhelming, but we can walk you through the most important factors to consider and help you find the right solution for your home.
We can help you evaluate several important factors when choosing your new furnace, including:
- Sizing. A furnace that's too small won't adequately heat your home, leaving you cold. More surprisingly, a furnace that's too large can be just as problematic. An oversized furnace will "short cycle,” meaning it will heat your home very quickly, turn off, and then turn back on soon after. This frequent on-off cycling wastes energy, causes uneven temperatures, and puts unnecessary wear and tear on the system, shortening its lifespan. We can assess your home’s needs to help get your new furnace’s sizing just right.
- Energy efficiency. Modern furnaces are significantly more energy-efficient than older models, which can lead to substantial savings on your utility bills. Furnace efficiency is measured by its annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) rating. Generally, the higher the AFUE rating, the more you can potentially save, though there are some exceptions. While high-efficiency furnaces have a higher upfront cost, the long-term energy savings can be significant. We can recommend high-energy furnaces and review how these units can save you money over time.
- Fuel type. While natural gas furnaces are very common, other options may be available. Natural gas is typically widely available, generally cost-effective, and efficient. Propane can be an option if natural gas is not, though it is more expensive. Electric furnaces tend to be extremely efficient, but the electricity costs can be higher than gas, making them potentially more expensive to operate. We can help you weigh the pros and cons of each of these fuel types.
- Brand. We are highly trained in all furnace brands and can help you explore equipment options.
Our team also offers commercial heating services.
