It’s not easy to know what to do when your furnace breaks down in an emergency situation. While your first thought may be to replace it, there are times when it’s more cost-effective to have your furnace repaired.

Furnace Repair Or Replacement: 3 Considerations To Help You Decide

Life Expectancy

If your furnace is less than 10 years old, there’s a good chance repairs will solve the problem. As a rule of thumb, as long as the repairs you need cost less than one-third the price of a unit and your furnace is still in the first half of its predicted lifetime, repair is your best choice.

Frequency Of Repairs

No matter how old your furnace is, it might be time to replace it if you often must call an HVAC contractor for repairs. Although repairs may seem like the less expensive solution to the problem, smaller charges for frequent repairs may add up to cost more than the price for furnace replacement.

Capacity & Installation Quality

If your furnace is the wrong size for your home or not installed properly, you should consider replacing the system rather than having to deal with regular breakdowns and ineffectiveness. A furnace that’s correctly sized and installed will make a dramatic difference in the comfort of your indoor environment.
