FAQs
Quick answers to frequently asked questions about furnace replacement.
How do I know when it's time to replace my furnace rather than repair it?
If your furnace is aging, requiring increasingly frequent repairs, struggling to keep your home warm, or driving up your energy bills despite regular maintenance, replacement is likely the smarter long-term investment.
How long do furnaces typically last?
Most furnaces have a lifespan of 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance. Once a system approaches that range, efficiency tends to decline and breakdowns become more frequent.
Will a new furnace lower my energy bills?
In most cases, yes, especially if you’re replacing an older, inefficient unit. Modern furnaces are significantly more efficient than systems from 10 to 20 years ago, meaning they produce the same amount of heat while consuming less fuel. Over time, those energy savings can offset a meaningful portion of the replacement cost.
What is an AFUE rating and what does it mean for a new furnace?
AFUE stands for Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency and measures how efficiently a furnace converts fuel into heat. Higher AFUE ratings mean less wasted energy. Standard furnaces typically fall in the 80% range, while high-efficiency models can reach 95% or higher. Baumann & DeGroot can help you determine which efficiency level makes the most sense for your home and budget.
How do I choose the right furnace for my home?
Choosing the right furnace depends on factors like your home’s size, insulation quality, existing ductwork, budget, and heating needs. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Baumann & DeGroot’s team will assess your home and walk you through your options to help you make a confident, informed decision.
Should I replace my furnace before it completely breaks down?
Ideally, yes. Waiting until your furnace fails entirely can leave you without heat at the worst possible time and may limit your options for choosing the right replacement system.
Is a cracked heat exchanger a reason to replace my furnace?
In many cases, yes. A cracked heat exchanger is a serious safety concern because it can allow carbon monoxide to enter your living space. Depending on the age of the system and the cost of the repair, replacement is often the safer and more cost-effective solution compared to attempting to repair or replace just the heat exchanger.
What happens to my old furnace after it's replaced?
Your old unit will be removed and properly disposed of by the installation team as part of the replacement process.
Do new furnaces come with a warranty?
Yes. Most new furnaces come with a manufacturer’s warranty covering parts for a specified period.
What is a two-stage or variable-speed furnace and is it worth the upgrade?
A single-stage furnace operates at full capacity every time it runs, while a two-stage furnace can run at a lower capacity when full power isn’t needed. A variable-speed furnace takes this a step further, continuously adjusting its output to maintain a consistent temperature. These more advanced systems tend to be quieter, more energy efficient, and better at maintaining even comfort throughout your home.
