Should You Get Your Furnace Repaired?

Many people hang on to their heaters for longer than 15 years, which only increases the possibility of a system breakdown when you need heat the most.

We’ll never try to sell you a product you don’t need. But often, replacing your furnace is the best choice for saving money in the long term.

FAQS

  • How long does a furnace last, and when should you replace it?

    A furnace typically has a lifespan of 15 to 20 years. Any issues your furnace experiences will affect how long it lasts, including mechanical problems, failure to heat your home efficiently due to renovations, and a sudden increase in energy bills due to the furnace working overtime to meet heating needs. If you are experiencing any of these issues with yours, you should consider replacing your furnace.

  • How much will a new furnace cost?

    Installation costs depend on your area, the type of furnace you are installing, the fuel efficiency, gas prices, how often it gets used, and the contractor or contracting company used for it. There is a lot of variability in furnace costs, such as the upfront cost you pay when you buy the actual furnace, the cost to install it, and the gas bill you will be paying for using it. The upfront cost is simple to understand - the more unique features a furnace has, the higher the price.

  • How often should you have your furnace serviced?

    It would help if you had your furnace serviced once a year when the unit is in prime condition and more often when it shows signs of aging. The best time to service a furnace is before the beginning of the heating season.

  • How often should I change my furnace’s filter?

    The frequency may vary depending on what the manufacturer says. You should change your furnace's filter every month to ensure your home has the best possible air quality and keep your furnace performing at its peak. If you don't change your filter for an extended time, the air in your home may become contaminated and affect your health. It will shorten your furnace's lifespan. If you need a new filter for your furnace, we offer a wide selection of them here at Mex-Mechanical Services.

  • How do you calculate furnace size?

    You calculate furnace size by multiplying the square footage of the house by the heating factor – a value based on climate factors expressed in BTUs. For example, a 2,000-square-foot home in a region with a heating factor of 30 (mild winters) would require a unit with a heating capacity of 60,000 BTUs. However, there are other factors to consider and account for, including insulation, house age, ceiling height, and doors and windows. These might not require a significant adjustment but should not be overlooked; by considering a professional to get it done, you will ensure that everything is correct and that you will pay what you should be spending on your energy bill. At Mex-Mechanical Services, our professionals are well-trained and know how to do it for you.

Do You Need A Heat Pump Repair?

The heat pump is responsible for shifting air inside or out to control and maintain the temperature in your house. Getting the right size heat pump is crucial and will ensure a comfortable indoor environment, an efficient system, and lower energy costs.

Problems That Occur When A Heat Pump Is A Wrong Size

Is it a big deal if you don’t get the right size heat pump? The answer is a definite yes. If you choose a heat pump that isn’t the ideal size for your home, you could see some severe consequences.


If your heat pump is too large for your home, it will short (or rapid) cycles, which isn’t healthy for the motor. If too small, it will constantly try to run to meet your temperature needs. Not only are both issues annoying, but they can cost you.


An incorrectly sized heat pump won’t perform efficiently and can cost you more monthly than a correctly sized unit. Another consequence is that your home won’t heat or cool adequately. You may have different temperatures throughout the house and uncomfortable humidity levels.


A heat pump that isn’t the appropriate size for your home is also bad for your HVAC system. A system that doesn’t run correctly or efficiently is more likely to break down and need repairs. If a unit is short cycling or constantly running, it can cause your blower motor to fail because of the excess stress and wear and tear.

How To Correctly Size A Heat Pump?

How do you figure out what size heat pump you need? The most foolproof way is to trust one of our HVAC professionals to look at your system in your home and give you the best recommendation.


Otherwise, here is what you need to consider when choosing a size:

  • The number of windows you have, the insulation, and how much air is getting into the house.
  • Your local climate and how many days you need active heating and cooling system per year.
  • The size and shape of your home.
  • The number of people living in the house and your preferences for temperature and humidity.

Any other appliances in the house that generate heat.
