Our furnace replacement process starts with a thorough assessment of your current system and your home heating needs. We examine the existing furnace, check ductwork condition, and measure your home to recommend the properly sized replacement unit. A furnace that is too small will struggle to keep up on the coldest days, while an oversized unit will cycle on and off constantly, wasting energy and wearing out faster.
Once we agree on the right equipment, our technicians handle the complete removal of your old furnace and proper disposal. We install the new unit according to manufacturer specifications, connect it to your existing ductwork or make necessary adjustments, and test every component to verify safe and efficient operation. For homeowners considering a different type of heating system, we can also discuss options like heat pump installation as an alternative to traditional forced-air heating.
Every furnace replacement includes a walkthrough of your new system controls, maintenance schedule, and warranty coverage details. We answer your questions on the spot so you feel confident operating your new furnace from day one.
If your furnace is over 15 years old and needs repairs that total more than a few hundred dollars, replacement often makes more financial sense. Constant breakdowns, rising gas bills, uneven heating, and unusual noises are all signs that a furnace replacement may be the better choice. We will give you an honest assessment and help you weigh the costs versus benefits before you decide.
Most furnace replacements take one to two days. A straightforward swap of the old unit for a new one of similar size can often be completed in a single day. If ductwork modifications, gas line adjustments, or electrical upgrades are needed, the project may extend into a second day. We provide a clear timeline during the estimate so you can plan accordingly.
Modern furnaces range from about 80% to 98.5% efficiency, measured by Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE). In Western Pennsylvania including Monroeville, Murrysville, a 90% to 95% efficiency furnace often provides the best balance between purchase price and long-term energy savings. Higher-efficiency models above 95% cost more upfront but can significantly reduce your monthly gas bills over the life of the unit.
Yes, switching fuel types is possible during a furnace replacement. If natural gas is available in your neighborhood, converting to a gas furnace typically costs less to operate and heats your home more evenly. We can assess your home setup and local gas availability to determine if this switch makes sense for your situation.
New furnaces typically include a manufacturer warranty covering parts for 5 to 10 years and a heat exchanger warranty that can extend up to 12 years on some models. Labor warranties vary by contractor. Hoffner Heating & Air Conditioning stands behind our furnace replacement work and can explain the specific warranty coverage for the equipment you choose.
