When your furnace starts showing its age or just can’t keep up with the dropping winter temperatures, it’s time to consider a furnace replacement or furnace installation. Having a heating system that works reliably is key to staying comfortable.

Furthermore, no matter if you’re upgrading to something more energy-efficient or replacing an old, inefficient unit, getting it done right makes all the difference in your energy bills and overall comfort.

At Great Dane, we specialize in helping homeowners like you find the best heating solution for your home, and we’re here to make the whole process smooth.

Why You Should Think About Furnace Replacement

Getting a new furnace installed isn’t something you need to do often, but it’s a smart move if your current system is over 15 years old, needs frequent repairs, or causes your heating bills to spike. A new furnace can make a big difference, not just in terms of reliability but also in how much energy it uses. Newer models are designed to be much more efficient, meaning less wasted energy and more savings on your utility bills.

Another major benefit of professional heating installation is proper sizing. When your furnace is the right fit for your home, you avoid the issues that come with an oversized or undersized unit. A furnace that’s too big will cycle on and off frequently, while one that’s too small will struggle to keep your home warm. Both situations are bad news for your comfort and your wallet.

Here are a few signs it might be time for a new furnace:

Your furnace is over 15 years old
Frequent and costly repairs
Uneven heating in different rooms

Rising energy bills
Strange noises or smells coming from the unit

There are several types of furnace filters but all filters should be checked monthly and changed as needed, and if all else fails, consult your owner’s manual.

Yes! But only with a proper cover. Custom covers are available at a very affordable cost. Covering the air conditioner prevents snow and ice from building up and resting on the fan blade and motor causing unwanted wear and tear on the unit.

We recommend having your furnace cleaned every fall. It is important to have the furnace inspected by a professional to ensure that it is operating safely and at peak efficiency. Proper adjustment can lower your heating bills and performing standard maintenance can prevent breakdowns before they occur.

The average life of a furnace ranges from 18 to 22 years. Sure some may last longer, but those that do have usually been maintained every year.

Yes! During the winter months while the furnace is operating, the heat generated evaporates the water vapor in the air leaving your home feeling dry and possibly causing a scratchy throat, bloody noses, and causing woodwork to shrink and crack. It is important to maintain proper humidity in your home for your comfort and to protect your valuables. Maintaining proper humidity could also lower utility bills by as much as 15%.

As your furnace gets older, it becomes more important to have it inspected every year to ensure safe operation. If your furnace is getting older and is prone to problems, you may want to replace it. If your furnace has a faulty heat exchanger, you may want to replace it. Today’s furnaces are much more efficient than older units with efficiencies as high as 96.6%.

Yes! Air Conditioning systems are primarily electrical, so it is important to have the electrical components checked to ensure that a faulty device will not cause larger, more expensive failures. The most important reason to have your system checked is the system’s pump, called the compressor. The compressor is cooled by refrigerant, not air. If the system charge is even slightly low, it could cause the compressor to overheat, causing damage.

Yes, having your ducts cleaned will improve your indoor air quality as well as keep your heating and cooling system clean and operating properly.

It could be that your thermostat needs to be adjusted. However, it is more likely to be the humidity level in your home. When the humidity level is lowered, it causes the moisture to be removed from the surface of your skin, causing you to feel cold. Installing a humidifier in your home can save you money by allowing you to keep the thermostat at a lower setting.
