Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Furnace in Kokomo

• Age. A well-maintained gas furnace lasts 15 to 20 years in central Indiana. Past 15, parts get scarce and efficiency drops.
• Rising gas bills with the same thermostat setting. An 80% furnace from 2005 that has lost efficiency can cost noticeably more to run than a new 96% unit over a Kokomo winter.
• Repairs stacking up. Two major repairs in two years, or any single repair over a third of a new furnace’s price.
• A cracked heat exchanger. Not repairable; a carbon monoxide risk; replacement is the only safe option.
• Uneven rooms, dust and dry air that a furnace tune-up didn’t fix.
• Soot, rust or scaling around the burners or flue.

The Repair-or-Replace Rule We Use

Multiply the furnace’s age by the repair quote. Under $5,000, repair it. Over $5,000, replacement usually costs less over the next five winters once you count efficiency and the next repair. A 16-year-old furnace with a $400 repair ($6,400) is a replace conversation; a 9-year-old with the same repair ($3,600) is a furnace repair. We show you both quotes at the visit and you choose.

Replacement Options for Howard County Homes

• Gas furnace for gas furnace — the most common replacement in Kokomo; a jump from 80% to 96% AFUE usually pays back in a few winters.
• Furnace plus air conditioner — if the AC is 12+ years old, replacing both at once saves a second labor bill and matches the coil.
• Heat pump or dual-fuel — for all-electric homes, or to cut gas use in the shoulder months.
• Ductless mini split — for homes around Russiaville and Oakford with no ductwork, or additions the old furnace never reached. See ductless mini split installation.
