When to Replace Your Furnace
It’s possible your furnace may have reached the end of its lifespan. How do you tell when it’s time to forgo repairs and go with a new installation? Here are some factors to consider:
- Age of the furnace: Furnaces typically last 15-20 years. If your unit is approaching or exceeding this age, replacement may be more cost-effective than frequent repairs, as newer models offer improved efficiency and technology.
- Frequent breakdowns: If you're calling us for repairs more often than you’re used to, it could be a tell that your furnace is nearing the end of its lifespan. A new furnace may be more cost-effective in the long run.
- Rising energy bills: Furnaces that are failing will consume more energy to maintain performance. If you notice a significant increase in energy costs, replacing the furnace with an energy-efficient model might reduce your expenses and improve your comfort.
- Outdated technology: Furnaces with outdated technology may lack the efficiency and features of modern units, leading to higher operating costs.
- Major component failure: When critical components like the heat exchanger fail, repair costs can be expensive. In these cases, replacing the furnace is often a more economical and reliable solution.
At Bradford Air & Heating, our priority is to repair your furnace whenever feasible, but we understand there are times when a replacement becomes the best option. The experienced furnace installation and repair team in our Livermore office is here to assist you in selecting the furnace that aligns with your home's needs and budget.

Common Furnace Problems
Our technicians have served Alameda and Contra Costa counties since 2004, and we’ve seen a lot. These are some of the most common problems property owners run into:
- Ignition or pilot control issues: Problems with the ignition or pilot light can lead to inconsistent heating or no heat at all. This issue often stems from faulty components or blocked gas lines.
- Thermostat failure: A malfunctioning thermostat can lead to incorrect temperature readings, causing your furnace to cycle on and off unnecessarily. This not only disrupts your comfort, but also increases wear and tear on your system.
- Airflow obstructions: Blocked or dirty filters, ducts, or vents can restrict airflow, leading to overheating and reduced efficiency.
- Unusual noises: Rattling, banging, or squealing sounds may indicate loose or damaged components within the furnace. Ignoring these noises can result in more severe damage that is more expensive to fix.
- Frequent cycling: Short-cycling is the phenomena when your furnace keeps turning on and off. It could be due to an oversized unit, a bad thermostat, or poor airflow. This problem reduces efficiency and can increase your energy bills.
- Blower issues: A malfunctioning blower can lead to uneven heating and can overwork the furnace, causing it to shut down unexpectedly.
- Dirty burners: Accumulated dirt on burners can cause poor combustion, leading to inefficient heating and increased energy consumption.
