It’s recommended to have your furnace serviced once a year, ideally in the fall before the heating season begins. Regular maintenance helps prevent breakdowns, improves efficiency, and extends the life of your system.

Yes! New high-efficiency furnaces can significantly reduce your heating costs — sometimes by up to 30% or more, depending on your current system’s age and condition.

The cost to install a new furnace typically ranges from $3,500 to $7,500, depending on several key factors. High-efficiency models, larger homes, or complex installations can push the price higher, while simpler replacements may be on the lower end of the scale.

Factors that affect the price include:

- Type of furnace: Single-stage, two-stage, or modulating models

- Efficiency rating: Higher efficiency models cost more upfront but save on energy bills

- Size of your home: Larger homes need more powerful units Existing ductwork: If modifications or upgrades are needed, this can add to the cost

- Brand and warranty: Premium brands and extended warranties add value and cost

- Installation complexity: Hard-to-access spaces or special venting requirements
