How Long Does it Take to Replace a Furnace?

The process of replacing a furnace can take a varying amount of time depending on a number of different factors. In general, the first step in furnace replacement involves removing the old furnace and installing the new one. This step may require some heavy lifting or specialized tools, so it will likely take longer for a contractor to complete than for an individual homeowner. Once the installation is complete, most furnace companies will schedule an inspection to ensure everything is working properly. Depending on this inspection and other considerations such as how easily accessible your furnace might be, the furnace replacement process could take anywhere from one day to several weeks. 

How Often Should I Replace My Furnace?

There is no definitive answer to how often you should replace your furnace. However, most furnaces have a lifespan of 15-20 years. If your furnace is starting to show signs of wear and tear, or if it is not performing as efficiently as it used to, then it may be time for a replacement. It is always a good idea to consult with a professional before making any decisions about your furnace.
