Frequently Asked Questions About Furnace Replacement

How do I know if I need a new furnace?

Common signs include frequent repairs, rising energy bills, uneven heating, or a furnace that is over 15 years old.

How long does furnace replacement take?

Most replacements can be completed in one day, though larger projects or ductwork adjustments may take longer.

Can a new furnace really lower my energy bills?

Yes. High-efficiency furnaces use less energy to produce the same amount of heat, reducing monthly costs.
