What's the average lifespan of a furnace?

Gas furnaces typically last 15–20 years with proper maintenance. If yours is approaching or past that range and needs a significant repair, replacement is usually the smarter investment.

What does a furnace replacement cost?

Costs vary by system size, efficiency, and brand. Most whole-home replacements range from $3,500 to $8,000 installed. We provide a detailed, no-obligation estimate before any work begins.

Do I need to upgrade my ductwork when replacing my furnace?

Not always. We inspect your existing ductwork during the assessment. If it's in good condition and sized properly, it can typically be reused.
