Is It Time to Replace Your Furnace?

Deciding whether to repair or replace your furnace can be challenging. While a minor repair might seem cost-effective now, investing in a new system is often the smarter long-term financial decision. Watch for these common indicators that your current furnace is nearing the end of its operational life:

  • Age of the Unit: Most furnaces in Texas have a lifespan of about 15-20 years. If your system is approaching or has surpassed this age, it’s likely operating inefficiently and is more prone to failure.
  • Rising Energy Bills: A sudden or steady increase in your heating costs without a change in usage is a classic sign that your furnace is losing efficiency and working harder to heat your home.
  • Frequent and Costly Repairs: If you find yourself scheduling repairs every winter, the costs can quickly add up. A good rule of thumb is the "50% rule": if a repair costs 50% or more of the price of a new system, replacement is the more sensible option.
  • Uneven Heating: Are some rooms in your home cozy while others remain cold? This often indicates your furnace can no longer distribute air effectively, a problem that a new, properly sized unit can solve.
  • Strange Noises or Odors: Banging, rattling, or humming sounds can signal serious mechanical issues. Similarly, unusual smells may indicate problems with the combustion process, which can pose a safety risk.
  • Visible Signs of Wear: Rust, cracks, or corrosion on the furnace components are clear signs of deterioration that warrant an immediate professional inspection and likely replacement.

Selecting the Perfect Furnace for Your Anna Home

Choosing a new furnace is a significant investment, and several factors must be considered to ensure optimal performance and efficiency. Our experts guide you through every step, helping you select a system that aligns with your home's requirements and your budget.

Fuel Type

For most homes in Anna, the choice is between natural gas and electricity.

  • Natural Gas Furnaces: These are the most common and often most cost-effective option. Natural gas is typically less expensive than electricity, and modern gas furnaces are incredibly efficient, providing powerful and consistent heat.
  • Electric Furnaces: While the units themselves are often less expensive to purchase and install, their operating costs can be higher depending on local electricity rates. They are a great alternative for homes without access to a natural gas line and are known for their durability and long lifespan.

Proper Sizing (BTU)

Furnace size is measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs), which represents its heating output. A system that is too small will run constantly without ever reaching the desired temperature, while an oversized system will cycle on and off too frequently. This "short-cycling" wastes energy, creates uneven temperatures, and puts excessive strain on components. We perform a detailed load calculation, considering your home's square footage, insulation, window quality, and layout to determine the exact size needed for maximum efficiency and comfort.

Energy Efficiency (AFUE)

The Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating measures how effectively a furnace converts fuel into heat. A higher AFUE percentage means less wasted energy and lower utility bills. For example, a furnace with a 95% AFUE rating converts 95 cents of every dollar spent on fuel into heat for your home. We'll help you understand the long-term savings associated with high-efficiency models.

Our Meticulous Furnace Installation Process

A flawless installation is just as important as the quality of the furnace itself. Our process is designed to be thorough, transparent, and respectful of your home, ensuring your new system performs at its peak from day one.

  1. In-Home Consultation and Assessment: We begin with a comprehensive evaluation of your current system, ductwork, and home layout to provide an accurate and transparent recommendation.
  2. Safe Removal of the Old Unit: Our technicians will carefully disconnect and remove your old furnace, ensuring all components are handled and disposed of properly.
  3. Precision Installation: The new furnace is expertly installed according to manufacturer specifications and local codes. This includes making precise connections to your ductwork, fuel line, and electrical system.
  4. System Testing and Calibration: Once installed, we rigorously test every function of your new furnace. We calibrate the thermostat and check airflow and safety controls to guarantee optimal and safe operation.
  5. Final Walkthrough and Cleanup: We treat your home with care, cleaning up the work area completely. Before we leave, we’ll walk you through the operation of your new system and answer any questions you may have.

Frequently Asked Questions About Furnace Installation

How long do furnaces typically last in Texas?

Due to the milder winters compared to northern states, furnaces in Texas may not run as intensely, but they still age. With proper annual maintenance, you can expect a modern furnace to last between 15 and 20 years.

How long does a typical furnace installation take?

A standard furnace replacement can usually be completed within a single day, often taking between 4 to 8 hours. More complex installations that require ductwork modifications may take longer.

What kind of warranty is included with a new furnace?

New furnaces come with a manufacturer's warranty, which typically covers parts for 5 to 10 years. We also stand behind our workmanship, providing a labor warranty to ensure your complete satisfaction with our installation quality.

"I am so impressed with Burnside!!! I will never even consider using anyone else. I was u def a lot of pressure and the heating system was not working correctly and they found a minor inexpensive solution. Another local vendor charged way more for a similar situation. I immediately sighed up for their annual program. God bless them."
