FAQ's About Replacing a Furnace

Your furnace has been acting up quite frequently lately and you're not sure if you should replace it or stick with it. Replacing a furnace can be costly, but also necessary at times. You don't want to go through this fall and winter without having a reliable furnace to produce heat for you and your family within your home. Our HVAC company at the Lake of the Ozarks is here to answer some frequently asked questions when it comes to replacing your furnace.


FAQ's About Replacing a Furnace


Q: How long is a furnace supposed to last?

A: On average, furnaces could last anywhere from 10 to 20 years. If your furnace is toward the end of its lifespan and is giving you all sorts of issues, whether it makes odd noises on a regular basis or it struggles to produce enough heat, it may be time to replace it. Consult with a professional HVAC technician at the Lake of the Ozarks to help you determine if it's time to replace your furnace.


Q: How do I know when it is time to replace my furnace?

A: There are a number of warning signs that can indicate your furnace may be failing. Those warning signs can include:

  • Your furnace is failing to produce heat
  • Your furnace is making strange noises
  • Your heating bill has been higher than usual
  • Your furnace is over 10 years old
  • You constantly have to have your furnace repaired
If you are experiencing 1 or more of these warning signs with your furnace, it may be time to replace it. Choosing to replace your furnace now could save you a lot of stress down the road. Don't wait until the middle of winter to get your furnace replaced.


Q: What is the best way to go about choosing a new furnace?

A: While price is very important when considering a new furnace, you'll also want to look at how efficient the furnace is. Gas is now the most common heating fuel. Look at the AFUE rating. The AFUE rating is the percentage that tells you how quickly the furnace converts gas into heating energy.



Q: Is there an ideal time of year to get my furnace replaced? If so, when?

A:  Ideally, you want to get your furnace replaced before the colder temperatures arrive right? While furnace replacements can happen any time of the year, it could be best to try and schedule them in the spring or fall. HVAC companies in Camden County are probably not as busy during those times of the year before the major cold temperatures arrive.
