Is your furnace on its last legs? Here's how to decide whether a repair or full replacement makes more financial sense.
When your furnace breaks down, the first question is always: should I repair it or replace it? Here's a practical guide to help you decide.
The 50% Rule
If the repair costs more than 50% of the price of a new furnace, replacement usually makes more sense financially.
Age Matters
Most furnaces last 15-20 years. If yours is approaching that range and needing frequent repairs, it's time to start planning for a replacement.
Efficiency Gains
Modern furnaces are significantly more efficient. Upgrading from an 80% efficiency furnace to a 96% model can save hundreds per year on heating costs.
