Signs You Need a New Furnace
Age Over 15-20 Years
Furnaces typically last 15-20 years. Older units are less efficient and more prone to failure when you need heat most.
Rising Heating Bills
If your gas bills keep climbing despite similar usage, your furnace is losing efficiency. New furnaces can cut costs 20-30%.
Frequent Repairs
When repair costs add up, investing in a new furnace often makes more financial sense.
Uneven Heating
Cold spots and rooms that won't heat indicate your furnace can't keep up with demand.
Yellow Pilot Flame
A yellow flame instead of blue can indicate carbon monoxide issues - a serious safety concern.
Cracked Heat Exchanger
This is a safety hazard that typically means replacement is necessary.

What is AFUE?

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does furnace installation take?
Most furnace installations are completed in one day, typically 4-8 hours. If we're also replacing ductwork or doing a full system upgrade, it may take longer.
What size furnace do I need?
Furnace size (measured in BTUs) depends on your home's square footage, insulation, windows, and climate. We perform a heat load calculation to determine the right size.
Should I get a high-efficiency furnace?
High-efficiency furnaces (90%+ AFUE) cost more upfront but save 20-30% on heating bills. In Illinois with our cold winters, they often pay for themselves in 5-7 years.
Do I need to replace my AC when I replace my furnace?
Not necessarily, but if your AC is also aging, replacing both together can save on labor costs and ensure matched, efficient components.
What warranties do you offer?
All new furnaces come with manufacturer warranties, typically 10 years on the heat exchanger and 5 years on parts. We also warranty our installation work.
