How to Know if Your Furnace Needs to Be Replaced
If your furnace is aging or isn’t performing well, it might be time to consider a replacement. Here are some common signs that it could be time for a new furnace:
- Age of the Furnace: Most furnaces last around 15 to 20 years. If yours is approaching this range, it may be more cost-effective to replace it rather than continually paying for repairs.
- Frequent Repairs: Are you calling for furnace repairs more often? Frequent service calls add up and may indicate that your furnace is nearing the end of its life.
- Rising Energy Bills: An old or inefficient furnace has to work harder to produce heat, which can result in higher energy bills. A new, energy-efficient furnace could help lower your heating costs.
- Uneven Heating: If some rooms are consistently colder than others, it may be a sign that your furnace can no longer distribute heat evenly throughout your home.
- Strange Noises: Banging, rattling, or whistling sounds from your furnace are typically signs of internal issues. These should be addressed promptly and may indicate the need for replacement.
- Yellow Pilot Light: A furnace’s pilot light should burn blue. If it’s yellow, this could be a sign of poor combustion and may indicate a potential carbon monoxide risk, which should be inspected by a professional.
Furnace Repair FAQs
How often should I have my furnace serviced?
Most experts recommend servicing your furnace once a year, ideally in the fall before winter begins. Annual maintenance helps ensure your furnace is running efficiently and can help prevent unexpected breakdowns.
How long does a furnace typically last?
A well-maintained furnace usually lasts 15 to 20 years. Regular maintenance and prompt repairs can extend the life of your system, while neglecting service may lead to a shorter lifespan.
What are common furnace issues that require repair?
Common issues include a malfunctioning thermostat, clogged filters, pilot light problems, ignition issues, and airflow problems. HVAC Davenport’s skilled technicians are experienced in diagnosing and repairing these and other common furnace issues.
What should I do if my furnace is blowing cold air?
Cold air from a furnace can be caused by several issues, such as a dirty filter, pilot light problems, or a malfunctioning thermostat. Our technicians can diagnose the cause and restore warm air circulation in your home.
How can I make my furnace more efficient?
Regular maintenance, changing filters, and upgrading to a programmable thermostat can all improve furnace efficiency. Additionally, upgrading to a high-efficiency model may help reduce your energy costs over time.

While it’s possible to handle minor tasks like changing filters, most furnace repairs require a trained professional. Attempting DIY repairs on complex systems can lead to further damage, void warranties, and even pose safety risks.
