Benefits of Furnace Replacement

There are a number of advantages of replacing an old furnace, including improved energy efficiency, lower utility bills, enhanced indoor comfort, and a reduced carbon footprint. In fact, “older fossil fuel furnace and boiler systems have efficiencies in the range of 56% to 70%” vs. “modern conventional heating systems can achieve efficiencies as high as 98.5%,” which can save the average household “1.5 tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year if you heat with natural gas, or 2.5 tons if you heat with oil.”[1]

STL Furnace Replacement FAQ


How Much to Replace a Furnace?

There are a number of factors that contribute to the cost, including the type, size, and efficiency level of the furnace, plus the installation cost. Once you and the contractor have those details ironed out, it helps determine what the price should be.


When To Replace Furnace?

You should replace your furnace if it is 15-20 years old and starting to have frequent repairs.


How To Replace Furnace Filter?

First, find and open the access panel. Pull out the furnace filter and insert the fresh one, ensuring the arrow indicator on the side/top points toward the part of the furnace where heat will be generated. Close the access panel. Repeat every 30-90 days, depending on the kind of filters you choose.


How Long Does It Take to Replace a Furnace?

Furnace installation as part of a furnace replacement could take between 4 and 10 hours.


Does A Heat Pump Replace a Furnace?

In mild locations, a heat pump could replace a furnace. However, in St. Louis, where our weather can go to extremes, a heat pump and a furnace work together. The heat pump would bring heat to a certain point, but the colder and closer it gets to the freezing point, the more heat you need, and the furnace will kick on to do the heavy lifting.
