At Boerne Air Conditioning Experts, we understand that purchasing a new furnace is one of the largest household expenditures you can undertake—total costs can range anywhere from a few thousand dollars to well over $10,000, depending on your needs and what model you decide on. If you have a gas main nearby but need to install piping to your home, that's a few thousand more, although the utility company may be willing to cover part or all of that cost. Given the upfront expenses, unless you have plenty of money to burn, it may be worthwhile to hold off on the switch until your current furnace reaches the end of its lifespan.
If it's time to replace your furnace or boiler anyway, and you have access to a natural gas line, the decision is a no-brainer. The older your furnace is, the better you will fare by replacing it. Look for signs that your equipment is struggling, such as if it is lagging in efficiency, needs frequent repairs, is not reflecting the temperature you set the thermostat to or is becoming excessively noisy—those are all red flags. Most furnaces need replacement after about 15-20 years. If you have a breakdown and an expensive repair bill looming, that can also give you an incentive to make the switch to gas and lock in years of lower fuel costs. Some households might find that their best choice is to go with a heat pump, instead, but even the latest in heat pumps, which save piles of money compared to oil and resistance heat, can ring up higher bills than gas, depending on the variable swings of the fuel market.
If you have questions about your current heater, or you’re curious about other options that are out there, feel free to contact one of our team members at Boerne Air Conditioning Experts.
