Signs It's Time to Replace Your Furnace (Not Just Repair)
A working furnace is one of those things you don't think about until it stops. If any of these sound familiar, it's probably time to replace — not repair:
- Your furnace is 15+ years old. Most residential gas furnaces last 15–20 years in Utah's climate. Past 15, efficiency drops and repair costs climb.
- Repair estimates are $500+ and climbing. If you've spent $1,000+ on repairs in the last 2 years, replacement usually pays back in fuel savings within 5–7 years.
- Uneven heat between rooms. Older furnaces struggle to keep up. A right-sized new furnace fixes hot/cold spots.
- Yellow burner flame or rust visible. Yellow flame = incomplete combustion (potential CO risk). Rust on the heat exchanger = end of life. Replace, don't patch.
- Utility bills climbing year-over-year. A 70% efficient old furnace vs a 95% modern one can cut heating costs 25%+.
- Loud banging, popping, or scraping. Blower motor or heat exchanger issues — often not worth repairing on an older unit.

How Long Does a Furnace Replacement Take?
Most furnace replacements are a 1-day job. Crew arrives in the morning, old unit out, new unit in, tested, and heat running by end of day. Larger homes with system upgrades (new ductwork, high-efficiency conversion, adding a heat pump) can run 2 days.

Furnace Replacement FAQs
How much does a new furnace cost in Utah?
For a typical Utah home (1,800–2,800 sqft), a full furnace replacement runs $5,500–$9,500 installed for a good mid-efficiency 95% AFUE unit. Basic 80% units start around $4,500; premium two-stage or modulating units run $9,000–$12,500. Free in-home estimate confirms the exact number for your home.
How long does a furnace last in Utah?
Most gas furnaces last 15–20 years here. If yours is past 15 years and starting to need repairs, plan replacement on your terms (spring or fall) — much cheaper than an emergency January install.
Should I repair or replace?
Rule of thumb: if the repair cost is more than 50% of a new furnace AND the unit is over 12 years old, replace. Under those thresholds, repair usually makes sense. We'll give you the honest answer on-site.
Do you offer emergency furnace replacement?
Yes. If your furnace fails mid-winter, we prioritize the install. Most emergency replacements happen within 24–48 hours of the call, sooner for vulnerable households.
What size furnace do I need?
Depends on your home's square footage, insulation, windows, and layout. Rule-of-thumb "1 ton per 500 sqft" is often wrong. We do a real load calculation before quoting — an oversized furnace short-cycles and wastes fuel, undersized won't keep up.
Do you handle the permit?
Yes. We pull the mechanical permit, schedule the inspection, and make sure everything passes. You don't touch any paperwork.
What's included in the price?
Furnace unit, thermostat wiring, venting, gas line check, mechanical permit, disposal of the old unit, labor, startup, and calibration. No surprise line items.
What warranty comes with a new furnace?
Manufacturer warranty on parts is typically 10 years (some premium units go 20). We back our installation labor separately. If something's not right, we come back.
