Signs You Need a New Furnace
It is not always obvious when repair is no longer the right answer. Here are signs it may be time for a new furnace:
- Frequent, costly repairs
- Furnace over 15 years old
- Uneven heating throughout home
- Rising energy bills
- Strange noises during operation
- Yellow pilot light flame
- Excessive dust or dryness
If several of these signs sound familiar, a replacement may end up saving you more money than continuing to repair an aging system.
How Long a Furnace Should Last
Most furnaces last between 15 and 20 years with proper maintenance, though the exact lifespan depends on the type of system, how well it has been cared for, and how hard it has had to work over the years. Gas furnaces tend to last on the higher end of that range when maintained consistently, while systems that have gone years without service often wear out sooner.
Greenwood’s cold winters mean furnaces here often run for long stretches during peak season, which can add extra wear over time. Regular maintenance plays a big role in helping a furnace reach the upper end of its expected lifespan, while neglected systems are more likely to fail early or become less efficient well before their time is up.
Furnace Options & Efficiency Ratings
Choosing a new furnace involves more than picking the first option available. Furnaces are rated by their Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency, or AFUE, which measures how much fuel is converted into usable heat. Higher efficiency models cost more upfront but often pay for themselves over time through lower energy bills, especially in a climate like ours where furnaces run frequently throughout the winter.
Our team walks you through the different options available, including standard efficiency and high efficiency models, so you can weigh the upfront cost against long term savings. We also help you consider factors like your home’s size, insulation, and current ductwork, since these all affect which furnace will perform best in your space.
Our Furnace Installation & Replacement Process
We start every furnace replacement with a thorough evaluation of your home’s heating needs and existing system. From there, we help you choose a furnace that fits your budget and comfort goals, explaining the differences between models in straightforward terms. Once you have made a decision, we schedule the installation at a time that works for you.
During installation, our technicians handle every detail, from removing the old unit to properly connecting and testing the new system. We check ductwork, verify proper venting, and confirm the furnace is heating evenly before we consider the job finished. Our goal is to make the entire process smooth and stress free, so you can start enjoying reliable heat as soon as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know whether to repair or replace my furnace?
Age is the first filter. Most furnaces last fifteen to twenty years, and once you pass that mark, replacement usually wins. From there, look at the repair cost against the age of the system, how many repairs you have paid for in the last two years, and whether the failed part is a major one like the heat exchanger or blower motor. Rising gas bills on a system that used to be efficient are another signal. A good technician will quote the repair first and show you the numbers side by side.
How long does a furnace installation take?
A straightforward replacement, meaning same fuel type, same location, and no ductwork changes, is typically a one-day job. Plan on a full day rather than a few hours. Jobs that involve relocating the unit, converting fuel types, upgrading venting for a high-efficiency model, or correcting undersized return ducts can run into a second day. Your installer should give you a realistic timeline before the crew shows up.
How much does a new furnace cost?
There is no single number, and anyone who quotes one over the phone is guessing. Price depends on the size of the unit, the efficiency rating, whether it is single-stage, two-stage, or modulating, the condition of your existing ductwork and venting, and any code upgrades the installation triggers. The only accurate quote comes from an in-home evaluation. Ask for the total installed price in writing, not just equipment cost.
What size furnace do I need for my home?
Not the same size as the one you are replacing, necessarily. Proper sizing comes from a Manual J load calculation that accounts for your square footage, insulation levels, window count and quality, ceiling heights, and air leakage. Oversized furnaces are the more common mistake. They short cycle, wear out components faster, leave uneven temperatures between rooms, and cost more to run. Bigger is not better with heating equipment.
What efficiency rating should I look for?
AFUE measures how much of your fuel becomes usable heat. Anything below 80 percent AFUE is outdated equipment. Standard-efficiency models run in the 80 percent range, and high-efficiency condensing furnaces run 90 to 98 percent. In central Indiana, where heating season is long and genuinely cold, high efficiency usually pays back over the life of the system. The tradeoff is a higher upfront cost and different venting requirements.
Will a new furnace need different venting or ductwork?
Possibly. High-efficiency condensing furnaces vent through PVC pipe out a sidewall rather than up a masonry chimney, and they need a condensate drain, so switching from an 80 percent to a 95 percent model changes the venting entirely. Ductwork is a separate question. If your existing ducts are undersized, leaky, or poorly balanced, a new furnace will not fix uneven rooms. That gets evaluated during the estimate, not discovered mid-install.
Should I replace my air conditioner at the same time?
It is worth considering if the AC is also near the end of its life. The furnace blower and the indoor coil work as a matched system, and pairing new equipment gives you better efficiency ratings than mixing old and new. Replacing both at once also means one installation, one crew, and one disruption instead of two. If your AC is under ten years old and running well, there is no reason to force the issue.
Are there rebates or financing available for a new furnace?
Utility rebates and manufacturer promotions come and go, and high-efficiency equipment tends to qualify more often than standard models. Federal energy efficiency tax credits have also applied to qualifying HVAC equipment in recent years, though the rules and amounts change. Ask what is currently available when you get your quote, and ask about financing if spreading the cost out matters for your budget.
What should I expect on installation day?
The crew will protect flooring along the work path, shut off gas and power, remove the old unit, and set the new one. Expect the heat to be off for most of the day, so plan accordingly if the weather is cold. Once the unit is in, they connect gas, electrical, venting, and condensate, then start the system and run through combustion testing, airflow checks, and thermostat setup. Before they leave, they should walk you through filter location and size, thermostat operation, and your warranty registration.
What warranty comes with a new furnace?
Most manufacturers offer ten years on parts and often a longer term on the heat exchanger, but the registration deadline matters. Many require you to register within sixty to ninety days of installation or the coverage drops to a shorter default period. Labor warranty is separate and comes from the installing contractor, so ask what is covered and for how long. Nearly every manufacturer warranty also requires documented annual maintenance to stay valid.
