Your furnace plays a critical role in keeping your home warm and comfortable, but there comes a time when continued repairs just don't make sense financially or practically.

When might replacement be a better option?

1. Your furnace is 10-15 years or older
   As systems age, efficiency drops, breakdowns become more frequent, and keeping up with Western New York's harsh winters becomes more difficult.
2. Energy bills keep climbing
   If your heating costs are rising without a change in usage, your furnace may be overworking.
3. Constant repairs
   Needing service every season or multiple times in one winter could be a strong sign.
4. Uneven temperatures throughout your home
   Cold rooms, hot spots, or inconsistent comfort often mean your furnace can no longer distribute heat effectively.
5. Strange or loud noises
   Banging, rattling, grinding, or whistling usually indicates something is wrong.
6. Repair costs exceed 50% of replacement
   This is the biggest red flag. When a major repair costs half or more of a new furnace, replacement is the smarter long-term investment.
