We’re nearing the end of winter, although this doesn’t mean an immediate end to cold weather. It does mean it’s time to consider what to do with a furnace that has reached the end of its useful service life. If you have a gas furnace that’s more than 15 years old, or which has shown signs of decline, you can use the spring to have a replacement put in. This gives you an opportunity to upgrade to a high-efficiency furnace model.

Is high-efficiency the best heating path for your home’s future? We’re going to look into the advantages of high-efficiency furnaces as well as some drawbacks. You can count on our team to help guide you through the decision-making process and find the ideal furnace for your needs.

You might still have a furnace that uses a standing pilot light to ignite the burners, but this style of furnace ignition is fading away as improved technology takes over.

We know that when it’s cold outside and your home’s furnace stops working, you’ll want it repaired as fast as possible. This makes it tempting to see if you can do the repairs yourself—maybe you can find an online guide that will show you how. You might even be able to save money if you do the repairs on your own.

There’s nothing wrong with doing basic troubleshooting with your furnace to see if there’s a simple reason why it isn’t running properly. But, troubleshooting is different from trying to actually repair a furnace: opening up the cabinet and using tools to fix a problem.
