If your furnace is acting up, the big question is:Â Should you fix it or replace it?
Here’s a simple way to decide.
🔧 When Repair Makes Sense
Repair your furnace if:
- It’s under 10–12 years old
- The repair is minor ($100–$500)
- It’s your first or second issue
- Your home is still heating properly
👉 A quick repair can get you back up and running fast.
🚨 When It’s Time to Replace
Consider replacing if:
- Your furnace is 15+ years old
- Repairs are $1,000+
- You’re calling for service often
- Energy bills keep going up
- Uneven heating in your home
👉 At this point, repairs become a temporary fix.
💰 Think Long-Term

- More breakdowns
- Higher energy bills

A new furnace means:
