Why Choose G.L. Wilson Heating & Cooling for Your Furnace Replacement?


While many furnace issues can be repaired, there comes a point when replacement is the safer, more cost-effective option. If you notice any of the following signs, it may be time to consider upgrading your system.

Signs You May Need a Furnace Replacement

  • 1. Furnace Is More Than 15–20 Years Old

    Most furnaces have a lifespan of about 15–20 years. Older systems run less efficiently, are more prone to breakdowns, and can become costly to keep running.

  • 2. Frequent or Costly Repairs

    If you are calling for repairs multiple times each season, or if the repair cost approaches half the price of a new system, replacement is typically the smarter investment.

  • 3. Rising Energy Bills

    A furnace that struggles to heat your home will use more energy. A sudden increase in monthly heating costs often indicates declining furnace performance.

  • 4. Uneven or Insufficient Heating

    If some rooms stay cold or your furnace cannot keep up with the thermostat setting, it may no longer have the capacity to heat your home effectively.


  • 5. Loud or Unusual Noises

    Banging, rattling, grinding, or squealing sounds can indicate major internal problems that may not be worth repairing in an aging system.

  • 6. Yellow Burner Flame

    A properly functioning furnace should display a steady blue flame. A yellow flame may indicate incomplete combustion, a safety concern that requires immediate attention.

  • 7. Excessive Dust or Poor Indoor Air Quality

    An aging furnace may struggle with airflow or filtration, leading to dust buildup and lower air quality throughout the home.

Benefits of Upgrading to a New Furnace

Replacing an outdated furnace can significantly improve your home’s comfort and efficiency. Benefits include:


  • Better heating performance during extreme cold
  • Lower monthly energy costs
  • Quieter operation
  • Improved airflow and indoor air quality
  • More consistent home temperatures
  • Enhanced safety and fewer breakdown risks


Modern high-efficiency furnaces can reach AFUE ratings of 90 to 98 percent, meaning more heat stays in your home instead of being wasted.
