When To Replace Your Heating System
There’s no expiration date on your gas furnace, boiler, or heat pump. With proper care and maintenance, these systems can provide decades of reliable operation.
As a general rule, these units have estimated service life spans.
- Gas furnaces: 15–20 years
- Electric furnaces: 20–30 years
- Boilers: 10–15 years
- Heat pumps: 10–15 years
As your heating system nears the end of its estimated life span, you can bet the need for replacement is just over the horizon.
Signs You Need To Replace Your Furnace
Your furnace will show signs that it needs repairs. These can also indicate that the system is worn out and needs immediate replacement. Contact F.H. Furr if you notice signs that your system has reached the end of its life span, including:
- Rotten egg odors: Furnaces that produce foul smells may have gas leaks or ignition problems. This issue needs immediate attention.
- Short-cycling: This can result from electrical faults, clogged air filters, overheating, and problems with the heat exchanger.
- Yellow pilot light: This is a sign of incomplete combustion and can indicate ignition system failure.
- Inconsistent heating: There are many causes of uneven heating that a certified HVAC specialist should thoroughly investigate.
- Expensive repairs: If any repair exceeds 50% of the replacement cost, then replacement is the better option. Likewise, if repairs are becoming more frequent, as is the price of repairs, replacing a failing unit may be more cost-effective than repairing it.
We’ll be happy to inspect your system and determine whether repair or replacement is your best option.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I replace my furnace myself?
We strongly advise against DIY furnace replacement. There’s a considerable risk of electrocution, fire, or toxic inhalation if each step isn’t properly performed and verified.
Will maintenance help prolong the serviceable life span of my furnace?
Preventative maintenance will go a long way toward improving your system’s energy efficiency, performance, and life span. Failing to keep up with annual maintenance can cause the system to malfunction or break down prematurely.
How long does it take to replace a furnace?
Most furnaces can be removed and replaced in four to eight hours. Before replacement, our service technicians will give you an accurate estimate of the duration needed to replace and test your new furnace for proper operation.
