Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a furnace last in upstate New York?
There is no exact replacement age. However, once a furnace reaches roughly 15 years or more, it makes sense to consider its age when evaluating significant repairs. Condition, maintenance history and reliability are just as important as age.
Is it worth repairing a 20-year-old furnace?
Sometimes, especially if the repair is inexpensive and the furnace remains in otherwise good condition. A costly repair on a 20-year-old system is different. Ask the technician to evaluate the overall condition of the furnace before making the decision.
How do I know if my furnace is becoming inefficient?
Possible signs include longer run times, increasing heating costs, difficulty maintaining temperature and declining comfort. Those symptoms can have several causes, so the system should be professionally evaluated before assuming replacement is necessary.
Should I replace my furnace before it completely fails?
If the furnace is aging and showing signs of declining reliability, planning replacement before complete failure can give you more time to compare equipment, budget for the project and schedule installation on your terms.
Should I replace my furnace and air conditioner at the same time?
Not always. However, if both systems are older, evaluating them together can make sense. Your HVAC professional can determine whether replacing one or both pieces of equipment is the better approach for your home.
Can furnace maintenance extend the life of my system?
Regular maintenance can help identify developing problems, keep components clean and support proper system operation. It cannot prevent every failure, but consistent maintenance can help you get the most practical service life from your equipment.
Do you offer financing on new furnaces?
Yes — flexible monthly payments including a no-credit Lease-to-Own option through Chowder Financial that accepts credit scores as low as 400. See our Financing page for details.
