Furnace Replacement

When Should You Opt For Furnace Replacement?

In the case of furnace replacement, we recommend you consider two guiding factors.

1. If the cost of repair is more than ⅓ the replacement cost, replacing the furnace may be more economical long-term. Also, if the furnace requires repairs more than twice a year, it’s probably time for a furnace replacement.
2. Age is another important factor to consider. If your gas or electric furnace in Utah is over 15 years old and your energy bills are climbing, now is the time to replace it.

Upgrading to a modern, energy-efficient model can save you money while ensuring your home stays warm and comfortable, even during the coldest months.

What Should I Consider When Choosing a New Furance?

• Energy efficiency: Look for high AFUE ratings (90% or higher) to reduce heating costs in Utah’s colder climate.
• Fuel type: Common options include gas, electric, and propane; each varies in cost and efficiency.
• Heating capacity: Ensure the furnace size matches your home’s square footage and insulation.
• Climate adaptability: Select a furnace that can handle Utah’s winter temperatures.
• Warranty and maintenance: Choose a model with a good warranty and minimal upkeep needs for reliability.

Will a New Heater Work with My Existing Thermostat and Ductwork?

Yes, a new furnace can often work with your existing thermostat and ductwork, but certain factors should be considered:

• Compatibility: Ensure your thermostat can handle the new furnace's features, such as variable speeds or programmable settings.
• Ductwork condition: Older ducts may need sealing or repairs to efficiently handle the furnace’s output.
• System capacity: Check that the duct size and layout match the heating capacity of the new furnace for balanced airflow.

How Much Does A New Furnace Cost in Utah?

Typically, a new furnace costs between $2,800-$6,800 in Northern Utah.

Furance replacement costs can be quantified in three main categories that include

1. Upfront costs
2. Long-term energy costs
3. The cost of repairs

This framework can be used when determining a new furnace’s cost.

• A high-efficiency furnace cost will be higher upfront, and repairs are somewhat pricey, but it can dramatically reduce your energy bill.
• Conversely, a low-efficiency gas or electric furnace is cheaper to purchase and cheaper to repair, but costs more in energy usage.
• A mid-efficiency furnace is a popular balance of lower purchase pricing and lower energy consumption.
