Signs Your Furnace Needs Professional Attention:

When to Consider Replacement:
Most furnaces last between 15-20 years with proper maintenance. If your unit is approaching this age range and requiring frequent repairs, it might be time to consider a replacement. Modern systems offer improved efficiency and can significantly reduce your monthly energy costs.
