What is the typical lifespan of a furnace in Missoula?

A well-maintained furnace should last around 15-20 years, though actual lifespan may vary depending on how it was installed and how heavily the system is used. Montana’s long heating season puts heavy strain on HVAC systems, so keeping up with annual maintenance is vital to extending the life of your equipment.

How do I calculate what size of furnace I need?

The exact furnace you choose for your installation depends on your home’s actual heating load, not just the square footage of your house. We look at insulation and ductwork, how many windows you have, your home’s orientation, and other factors that affect how much heating capacity you need for your new system. Contact our furnace experts to get an evaluation of your home if you want to start exploring new furnace options.

If I have cold rooms in my house, does that mean I need a new furnace?

Potentially, but uneven temperatures can be caused by other factors as well. Insulation, airflow, zoning, and ductwork condition all contribute. If your home isn’t warming up consistently, the best option is to schedule an appointment with Aire Serv of Missoula to figure out the reason why!

Should I schedule my replacement installation for the spring or fall?

Whichever is convenient for you! Replacing your furnace before the heating season gives you the benefit of having a new, functioning system ready before the first deep freeze hits, while doing it in the spring or summer may be convenient for scheduling - especially if your furnace has already shown signs that it is near the end of its useful life.

Furnace Installation for Every Missoula Home

Whether your existing system is outdated or breaking down, replacing it with new heating equipment will do more for you than just produce heat! Today’s systems are quieter, more efficient, and give you better control options to manage utility use without sacrificing comfort. Our HVAC specialists would love to help you select a system that is appropriate for your home.

A furnace that is too small may struggle to keep you warm enough, while a furnace that is too big could cycle frequently and lead to uneven temperatures throughout the house. Our experts consider a home's layout, size, insulation, ductwork, and other factors to determine which size and type of unit makes the most sense. We'll walk you through all the options, help you select your new unit, and complete the installation on your schedule.

Some homeowners around Missoula use their furnace replacement as an opportunity to improve HVAC performance overall, by upgrading thermostats or adding duct insulation. Once we know your goals, we can make sure you get a compatible heating system and thermostat that offer the best energy control. Talk to our team about your HVAC replacement project, or make an appointment if you need a furnace installation for a new Missoula property or home addition.
