How Long Does a Furnace Last?

A furnace typically lasts from 10 to 15 years, depending on the type of furnace and whether it is regularly maintained. Proper maintenance includes annual tune-ups and cleaning of the air filters. If these steps are not taken, your furnace may last a shorter length of time. 

High-efficiency furnaces with stainless steel heat exchangers tend to last the longest, up to 20 years or more. If your furnace is not regularly maintained, however, it may not perform as efficiently, and its lifespan may be reduced. 

A good rule of thumb is to have a professional inspect and maintain your furnace each year. With regular maintenance, you can ensure that your furnace will last for many years to come. It is also important to consider the environment in which your furnace operates. 

For instance, if your furnace is located in an area with a high concentration of dust and other airborne particles, this can affect its performance and longevity. Additionally, if your home has hard water—water with an unusually high mineral content—this can corrode the interior components of your furnace, decreasing its lifespan.

To make sure that you get the most out of your furnace, it is important to not only have regular maintenance but also to select a high-quality model when buying a new system.

Signs You Need to Replace Your Furnace

Like many home appliances, furnaces and other heating units don’t last forever. Although the standard manufacturer-estimated lifespan of heating equipment ranges between 10-15 years, environmental factors and regular maintenance can shorten or lengthen this lifespan. 

Signs You May Need A New Furnace Include:

• It’s been over a decade since you bought it
• It’s making strange noises or emitting unusual smells
• Off-color burner flames
• Thermostat issues
• Increased humidity 
• Inconsistent heating throughout your home
• Frequent issues that require professional repairs
• That your utility bills are higher than they used to be

If it’s been a while since you installed your furnace, or if you’re noticing warning signs like the ones listed above, it may be time to give Newair Heating & Cooling a call.

How Much Does Furnace Installation Cost?

The cost to install a furnace will depend on:

• The size of the unit
• The type of fuel (gas, oil, or electric)
• The complexity of the installation
• And other factors

Typically, furnace installation costs can range from $2,500 to $6,000, but the price can vary depending on the factors mentioned above.

What Size Furnace Do You Need?

Now that you have determined it is time to install a new furnace, you are likely wondering what size furnace you will need for your home. A furnace that is too small will not be able to adequately heat your home and it will wear out quickly because it is working double time to try and meet your heating needs.

If you get a furnace that’s too big, you will end up with much higher energy bills. Typically, you will want a heating system that gives you 40-45 BTUs (British Thermal Units) of heat per square foot. This can range from 40,000-100,000 BTUs depending on the size of your home.

The best way to determine the size furnace you need to is schedule an estimate with a furnace installation expert at Newair Technologies.
