Generally, consider replacing your furnace if:

• It’s more than 10–15 years old

• You’re paying for frequent repairs

• Your energy bills are going up

• It struggles to heat your home evenly

Common signs include:

• Strange noises (banging, rattling, whistling)

• Weak or inconsistent airflow

• Frequent cycling on and off

• Thermostat issues

• Yellow pilot light (for gas furnaces)

Costs vary depending on the issue, but repairs are often more cost-effective for newer systems with isolated problems. The quiz will help assess your situation.

Upgrading can offer:

• Potentially lower monthly energy bills

• Improved indoor comfort

• Fewer unexpected breakdowns

• Manufacturer warranties for peace of mind
