How Long Will a New Furnace Last?
Your new furnace should operate efficiently for 15 to 20 years, provided you keep up with furnace maintenance. If your furnace is within this range, you could benefit from replacing it now.
With a newer, more efficient model, you'll save on energy use, reduce your utility bills, and enjoy better indoor air quality while reducing your carbon footprint.
Worried about equipment pricing? We offer plenty of financing options to support any budget.
Understanding AFUE Ratings
AFUE stands for Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency, a rating that measures how efficiently a furnace converts fuel into heat. The higher the AFUE percentage, the less fuel is wasted.
Most furnaces in Washington run on natural gas, since it's widely available and tends to be the most economical choice. A high-efficiency furnace will have an AFUE rating of 95 percent or higher, meaning it converts 95 percent of the fuel it consumes into heat for your home.
What Does Furnace Installation Cost?
Every home is different, so we don't publish a flat price for furnace installation, but a few factors consistently drive the investment:
- AFUE efficiency tier. A higher-efficiency furnace costs more upfront but lowers your monthly energy bills over the system's life.
- System size. The right capacity for your home depends on square footage, insulation, and layout.
- Ductwork condition. If your existing ductwork needs sealing or repair to support a new system, that adds to the project scope.
- Fuel type. Converting between fuel types, such as oil to gas, involves more work than a like-for-like replacement.
We'll cover all of this with you during a free in-home consultation.

If you already have a furnace installed, regardless of brand, our technicians are equipped to service, maintain, and repair it. You don't need to have bought your system from us to call us when something goes wrong.
How Long Does It Take to Install a Furnace?
Depending on the job, our skilled technicians typically take a few hours to install or replace your furnace.
The process could take longer if you need additional work, such as adding, sealing, or repairing ductwork. We'll work as quickly and efficiently as possible while making sure everything is installed correctly and safely.
How Will I Know When I Need to Replace My Furnace?
If your heating system is approaching the end of its service life, performs inefficiently, or has required one furnace repair after another, it's usually time to consider a replacement rather than waiting for a breakdown that leaves you scrambling.
A newer model is an investment: you'll enjoy more comfort, recoup some of the cost in energy savings, and have a new warranty to protect you against problems.
Still not sure? Let our professionals inspect your equipment. We'll give you an honest assessment to help you make the right choice for your household.
Frequently Asked Questions About Furnace Installation and Replacement
How long does furnace installation typically take in a Burlington, WA home?
Most furnace installations take just a few hours, though the timeline can extend if you need additional ductwork sealing, repair, or modification.
How do I know if I should repair or replace my furnace in my Burlington, WA home?
If your furnace is more than 15 years old, is losing efficiency, or needs repair after repair, replacement is usually the better long-term value. One recent Burlington customer told us their old furnace was "on its last legs" before we had a new one installed within the week.

A high-efficiency furnace has an AFUE rating of 95 percent or higher, meaning it converts 95 percent of the fuel it burns into usable heat. A higher AFUE rating means lower fuel costs over the life of the system.
