Few situations are as stressful as a faulty heating system in the dead of winter—especially in Nebraska! Fortunately, a furnace repair technician can repair your heat source for a fraction of the full replacement cost. Absolute Comfort Heating And Air Conditioning, a Lincoln contractor with 20 years' experience, has some tips for determining whether your furnace can be fixed, or whether you'll need a new one.

When Furnace Repairs Make Sense

If your system is less than 10 years old and doesn't give you many problems, a certified technician should be able to find the problem and fix it with ease. As long as your heating system is keeping your home comfortable without causing a spike in your heating bills, a furnace repair is your ideal choice. The technician's estimate is the best indicator—if your repair bill is expected to be less than a third the cost of replacement, opt for a quick fix.

When You Need A Replacement

Furnaces are built to last around 15–20 years. After that period, you might find yourself calling the repair technician more and more often. In this case, the cost of multiple furnace repairs can quickly add up to more than the cost of a new one. If you've noticed rising utility bills in the winter—or if the unit just doesn't keep your home cozy—you're better off having the furnace replaced.
