What is the average lifespan of a furnace?

With consistent maintenance, a furnace will typically last 15-20 years. However, the type of unit, upkeep, installation, and how often it is used are factors. With how cold the Iowa winters are, it might be worth replacing one before it starts to fail.

How can you tell if a furnace needs to be replaced?

If a furnace fails, won’t turn back on, or breaks down repeatedly, those are signs that it has reached the end of it’s useful life. Other signs of trouble include weak airflow, uneven heating, and frequent cycling, but those could just as easily be fixed with a furnace repair .

Are there special considerations for replacing a furnace in an older home?

For every home in Council Bluffs, we take ductwork , insulation, and home configurations into account when planning furnace installations.

Will a new furnace help those rooms that are always too cold?

It may, but a new furnace isn’t automatically the solution to every uneven-temperature issue. Ductwork condition , insulation, airflow, thermostat calibration , and other factors could be affecting your comfort. Our Council Bluffs HVAC specialists can pinpoint the root cause and make recommendations to resolve it.

When should I plan to have my new furnace installed?

Once you are sure about moving forward with a replacement, whether due to age or efficiency, it’s smart to start looking before the next heating season. Doing this in the spring, summer, or even early fall gives you time to compare equipment and make a thoughtful decision before you start relying heavily on your furnace.
