Common Signs That You Might Need A New Furnace

  1. Rising Energy Bills: A sudden or consistent increase in your heating bills, despite no changes in usage, can signal a decline in your furnace’s efficiency.
  2. Uneven Heating: Cold spots in some rooms while others are overly warm often indicate a failing furnace struggling to distribute heat evenly.
  3. Strange Noises: Unusual banging, rattling, or grinding sounds coming from your furnace could mean internal components are worn out or broken.
  4. Frequent Repairs: If you’re constantly calling for furnace repairs, it’s likely more cost-effective to replace the aging unit.
  5. Age of the Furnace: Most furnaces last between 15-20 years. If yours is nearing or exceeding this age, it’s likely becoming less efficient and more prone to breakdowns.
  6. Pilot Light Issues (Older Models): A pilot light that frequently goes out or a flame that’s yellow instead of blue can indicate a serious problem, potentially involving carbon monoxide. (Note: Many newer furnaces have electronic ignition, not pilot lights.)
     
     
     

6 Things To Think About Before Buying A New Furnace

  1. Budget: Determine how much you can realistically spend on a new furnace, including equipment, installation, and potential financing costs. Balance upfront costs with long-term energy savings.

  2. Furnace Type and Fuel Source: Consider the available fuel options in your area (natural gas, propane, electric) and their respective costs. Choose the fuel type that best suits your budget and home setup.

  3. Efficiency (AFUE): Higher AFUE ratings mean greater fuel efficiency and lower operating costs. Balance the higher upfront cost of a high-efficiency unit with the long-term savings on your energy bills.

  4. Heating Capacity: Proper sizing is crucial. An undersized furnace won’t adequately heat your home, while an oversized one will cycle on and off too frequently, leading to inefficiency and wear. Get a professional heat load calculation.

  5. Features: Consider features like variable-speed blowers (for consistent heating and quieter operation), smart thermostat compatibility, and air purification options, if desired.

  6. Warranty and Installer: Look for a reputable HVAC contractor who offers a good warranty on both the equipment and their installation workmanship. Check online reviews and ask for references to ensure you’re choosing a qualified installer.

Furnace Installation FAQs

How Long Should a Furnace Last?

Most Furnaces range from 15-20 years. This can vary depending on how your furnace was maintained. By getting professional maintenance on your furnace can not only prolong the lifespan of your furnace but prevent costly breakdowns in the process.

How long does a furnace installation take?

Typically, a standard residential furnace installation can take anywhere from 4 to 8 hours, or roughly a full day. However, this can vary depending on the complexity of the job, such as ductwork modifications or gas line adjustments.

Do I need a permit for furnace installation?

Yes, in most jurisdictions, including many areas in Michigan, a permit is required. This is to ensure the installation meets local building codes and safety standards. A reputable HVAC contractor will usually handle the permit process.

What should I do to prepare for a furnace installation?

Clear the area around the old furnace to provide the installers with easy access. Ensure a clear path to the installation area. It’s also a good idea to have any questions ready for the installers.

Will the installers test the new furnace after installation?

Yes, a thorough test run is essential. Installers will check for proper operation, airflow, and any potential leaks. They should also ensure the thermostat is working correctly. They will also check amp draws, gas pressure and do a combustion analysis to ensure your furnace is operating efficiently.  

What is the importance of proper furnace sizing?

Proper sizing is crucial for efficiency and comfort. An undersized furnace won’t adequately heat your home, while an oversized one can lead to short cycling and premature wear. A professional HVAC technician at Design Aire can perform a “heat load calculation” to determine the correct size.
