A furnace is a great investment for home heating. They’re powerful, effective, and overall extremely fuel efficient when they have AFUE ratings higher than 90. However, no matter how efficient or expensive your furnace system is, it won’t last forever.

This isn’t just a guideline from us, this is pretty much an industry-wide understanding and something that is born out in data. For instance, a furnace that runs for longer than 15 years can often cost more money to keep in the long run than paying for a new replacement.
