Should You Replace Or Repair Your Current Heating System?
One question homeowners frequently ask is how to know if they should get a new furnace replacement or an HVAC system repair.
If this is your first experience with a troubled heating system, it is usually recommended to treat your current HVAC systems malfunctions with a repair, as that tends to be the most cost-effective option. However, in cases where your system has needed frequent repairs or exceeds its expected life span, a new furnace installation is recommended.
The Formula to Determine Replacement vs. Repair
One of our HVAC professional contractors will help determine the best solution for your home during your free estimate. A good way to determine what the likelihood is of a repair versus a replacement is to consider the “5,000 rule.”
Take the age of your broken furnace, multiply that number by the cost of the estimated repair, and if that number is greater than 5,000, it’s probably better to replace the unit entirely when considering the cost of heating bills with continued costly repairs.
Here are a couple of examples of this formula put to work:
If your heating system is 10 years old and needs $350 in work- 10 x 350 = 3500, in this instance, it is bests to repair your current unit.
If your heating system is 15 years old and needs $350 in work in work- 15 x 350 = 5250, in this instance, it’s best to invest in a new system installation and replacement.
As part of our dedication to customer service and satisfaction, will not recommend a full furnace replacement if a heat system repair is the better option for your home and budget.
Home Heating Systems We Install
In addition to providing heating repairs and replacements with the use of high-quality, reliable parts and components, we believe in choosing the most trusted brands of heat pumps, furnaces, and geothermal units, including York and American Standard.
We will recommend the best heating system replacement for your particular home, but let’s explore some options homeowners can consider when choosing the best type of furnace or new HVAC system for their space.
Furnaces
Furnaces are the most common type of home heating system used in the United States and can run on electricity, natural gas, propane, or oil.
A furnace is a “forced air system,” where heat is distributed throughout the home by use of ducts and vents connected to the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger is a component of your heating system that is heated by use of the ignited burners within the furnace cabinet. When the burners are lit, it begins the process of heating and then traveling to distribute that heat throughout your home.
Furnaces are great at generating heat quickly and are usually affordable to purchase, install, and maintain. However, furnaces are one of the least energy-efficient choices on the market. Furnaces run on carbon monoxide causing fossil fuels, and they lose a lot of the heated air when traveling through ductwork. Because of this, heating costs will oftentimes be high.
Heat Pumps
Heat pumps, also known as ductless mini-splits and ductless heating, function by transporting hot outside air inside. Additionally, they can cool your home by transporting hot inside air to the outside.
Both a heating and air conditioning system, heat pumps are an energy-efficient choice for most modern homeowners. A heat pump as your choice for a heating system replacement is a great way to use less energy, lower your energy bills, and configure your home in a smarter, more sustainable way.
Geothermal Heating Systems
The most eco-friendly, green option for your home heating replacement is to choose a geothermal heating system. A geothermal unit operates by the use of pipes installed into the ground. The liquid is circulated through these 300 ft. deep pipes. The process known as “loops,” consists of the sun heating the ground, then the circulated or “looped” water becoming heated from the ground and finally re-circulated back as heat into the home.
Although the most energy-efficient choice, the initial cost of a geothermal unit is the most expensive type of heating system on the market. Despite being inexpensive to run, your geothermal unit may never recoup the initial costs. However, if your heating system concerns are more toward sustainability over cost, this is the best unit type for the environment.

Signs It’s Time For A Heating Systems Replacement
How do you know it’s time for a furnace replacement or a newer furnace that is more environmentally friendly?
Here are some of the warning signs that you should contact one of our heating repair and replacement professional contractors to discuss replacing your old system with a newer one:
- Frequent repairs do not prove to have long-term effects on your home.
- Repeated repairs are going to outweigh the cost of a new unit.
- You hear persistent, unusual noises coming from the furnace or pump.
- Your current system is over 10 years old.
- You want or need a new energy-efficient system.
- Your current unit is not keeping your home at a comfortable temperature.
- You find that you regularly have to adjust the thermostat for your central heating unit.
- There are random hot and cool spots throughout the home.
- You or a member of your household is repeatedly sick or not feeling well due to the air quality.
Whether your furnace needs a full replacement or you are looking for a more green, sustainable heat pump to lower your carbon footprint, our furnace repairs, and furnace replacements are the very best bet in HVAC professional services in the Raleigh area.

Furnace installation and heat pump installation are not quick, easy services. In fact, it can often take between four to eight hours to install all of your new heating and cooling equipment. The amount of time for most furnaces and heat pumps to be installed depends on the size of the unit and the existing system.
Once installed, our HVAC professional technician will walk you through how to use your new thermostat and heating unit.
