Furnace Installation and Replacement in Tarrant County

Owning a home comes with many expenses, including maintenance and repair costs of your HVAC system. It’s easy to take your furnace for granted and assume it’ll keep your house warm for decades without any intervention. Unfortunately, even the highest quality heating system won’t last forever.

If your heater is aging and requires frequent repairs, it may be time for a replacement. Having your furnace replaced may seem like a big and costly task, but it also comes with several long-term benefits, including lower utility bills, improved indoor air quality and peace of mind knowing your furnace won’t break down amid a cold winter spell.

At Tom’s Mechanical, Inc., we’ve seen what happens when customers wait until their furnace takes its last breath before replacing it – those homeowners are often left with no heat for days in the middle of winter. This can be a very uncomfortable and dangerous situation. That’s why we encourage you to be proactive and invest in a brand-new HVAC unit before high-demand season or catastrophic breakdowns to ensure your home stays warm and comfortable when cold weather arrives.

How Long Does a Furnace Last?

The average lifespan of a furnace is 15 to 20 years. However, this can vary depending on the type of furnace, how well it is maintained and the climate in which it is used.

A well-maintained furnace will likely outlive one that’s not regularly maintained. Without regular maintenance, a furnace can run inefficiently or even break down completely before its projected lifespan.

At Tom’s Mechanical, Inc., we recommend routine furnace maintenance to help maximize the lifespan of your unit. Simple tasks like regularly replacing your air filters and scheduling annual tune ups with an HVAC professional are key to efficient and reliable performance of your unit.

Why Should You Replace Your Furnace?

If you’re like many homeowners, you may be postponing the replacement of your aging furnace. Understandably, you want to avoid the cost and hassle associated with having a new unit installed. Keep in mind, having a brand-new, state-of-the-art HVAC system comes with many advantages you can start enjoying now and continue benefiting from for the next two decades (if it’s properly maintained):

Improved efficiency: Replacing an old furnace with a new, energy-efficient model can reduce your energy bills and help you save money in the long run. Newer furnaces are designed to use less energy while providing more consistent heating.

Improved comfort:

An old furnace may not be able to keep up with the demands of your home, leaving some rooms too hot or too cold. A new furnace will provide more consistent temperature control throughout your home, making it more comfortable for everyone.

Improved indoor air quality:

An old furnace can produce dust and other particles that can affect the air quality in your home. A new furnace will help reduce these particles and improve the air quality in your home.

Reduced maintenance costs: An old furnace requires more frequent tune ups and repairs than a newer model. These expenses can really add up over time. Replacing an old furnace with a newer model can help reduce maintenance costs and extend the life of your system.

Quieter operation: Many modern furnaces feature sound-dampening insulation, which helps to reduce the noise of the furnace's operation.

Signs Your Furnace Needs to Be Replaced

The most obvious sign your furnace needs replacement is age. If your unit is nearing the end of its lifespan (15 to 20 years), now may be a good time for a new one. Preemptive replacement prevents a permanent, irreversible and inconvenient breakdown of your old unit and the headache that comes with having to quickly decide on a replacement before your home becomes unbearably cold.

Other signs your aging unit needs to be replaced include:

• Increasing energy bills: If your energy bills are steadily increasing, it could be a sign that your furnace is not running as efficiently as it should.
• Strange noises: If you hear strange noises coming from your furnace, such as banging, rattling or squealing, it could be a sign of a problem.
• Poor air quality: If you notice an increase in dust or other allergens in the air, it could be a sign your furnace is no longer filtering the air properly.
• Unusual smells: If you smell something burning or an unusual odor coming from your furnace, it could indicate an issue with the unit.
• Inadequate heating: If you notice that your home is not getting warm enough or is taking longer to heat up than usual, it could be a sign that your furnace needs to be replaced.

Do you find yourself shivering in the middle of the night despite having your heat on? Do you have to bundle up under thick blankets and pile on warm clothes just to stay comfortable?
