Heat Pump & Furnace Installation & Replacement
Upgrading to a High-Efficiency Furnace
High-efficiency furnaces include the same components as regular furnaces: combustion chambers, burners, heat exchangers, blowers, flue, etc. However, they also have secondary combustion chambers and other components, including a second set of heat exchanger coils that increase the unit’s capability for converting fuel into energy.
They’re designed to generate more heat while using less natural gas. This makes them a cost-effective investment that will result in considerably lower utility bills over the years.
The Average Lifespan of a High-Efficiency Furnace
Most high-efficiency furnaces last between 15 and 20 years. The stricter the maintenance regimen and the sooner component replacement is addressed, the longer the furnace will provide reliable heating for your home.
Signs It’s Time To Replace a Furnace
The older your furnace, the less efficient it will become. When your furnace exhibits these signs, it’s time to consider a furnace replacement.
- Increasing energy bills
- Excessive dust, soot, or rust particles
- Uneven heating in the home
- Loud noises, including rattling, buzzing, humming, clanking, etc.
- Odd smells, including burning rubber, metallic smells, electrical smells, etc.
We’re happy to share more about the advantages of a high-efficiency furnace and discuss common signs your furnace is nearing the end of its lifespan.

High-efficiency furnaces offer significant advantages over standard furnaces. While they include the same basic components (combustion chambers, burners, heat exchangers, blowers), they also feature secondary combustion chambers and additional heat exchanger coils that increase the unit’s capability for converting fuel into energy.
Key benefits include:
- Lower utility bills: They generate more heat while using less natural gas, resulting in considerably lower energy costs over the years
- Cost-effective investment: The energy savings typically offset the initial investment cost
- Better performance: More consistent and reliable heating throughout your home
- Environmental benefits: Reduced fuel consumption means a smaller carbon footprint
If your current furnace is aging or showing signs of decreased efficiency, upgrading to a high-efficiency model can provide long-term savings and improved comfort for your family.
