Should You Repair or Replace your Propane or Gas Furnace?

Repairs

Often times a repair visit will fix any issue with your current system. Age will play the biggest role in determining whether you need to repair or replace your natural gas or propane furnace. Generally, home furnaces can last around 15 years, however, a repair visit could potentially buy you a few more years – especially if your system is less than 12 years old.

Also, take into consideration the service history of your system. If you have kept up with maintenance and repairs and your propane or natural gas furnace has been reliable and problem-free, a simple repair visit can address any current issue and get your system back to proper operation.

Replacement

Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever. If your home’s propane or natural gas furnace is over 15 years old, you may notice that repairs increase in both price and frequency, you’re having to adjust your thermostat more often because your system can’t maintain temperature or you notice that your energy bills are going up. It may be time to replace your home’s furnace if repair costs exceed more than 50% of what it would cost of installing a new, more efficient replacement.

Things to check when considering replacement

Age of your furnace – your propane or natural gas furnace should last from 16-20 years. As your home’s heating system approaches this age, it may be time to start looking for replacements.
Repair records – If your furnace has needed multiple repairs within the past 2 years, it may be time to replace it.
Poor heat distribution – Some rooms may be hotter or colder than others. If your home is not evenly heated, it may indicate that your furnace is not operating at its best.
Increasing energy bills – as a result of poor heat distribution, your natural gas or propane furnace may have to work harder and use more fuel to heat your home, driving up energy costs.
Yellow furnace flame – a yellow flame indicates that your furnace is producing poisonous carbon monoxide. Contact a service technician immediately.

Understanding your Propane or Natural Gas Furnace

Propane and natural gas are very similar and popular ways to heat your home. It’s important to understand how your furnace system works so that you know what to look for should anything go wrong.

Here’s how your gas furnace heats your home.

Natural gas or propane ignites in the burner.
The flames heat up a metal heat exchanger which transfers its heat to the incoming air while sending harmful exhaust out through the flue.
The furnace’s blower forces the heated air into the ductwork and distributes it throughout your home.
As the warm air fills each room, the colder, denser air gets drawn back into the furnace via the return ducts to repeat the process.

If you notice that your home’s gas or propane furnace is not operating at its best, contact MGM Mechanical to get your furnace back to peak performance.

"Mike came out to look around and gave me a very reasonable quote before leaving. He was able to install and have my central AC up and running quickly. Would highly recommend MGM Mechanical!! Thank you, Mike!!"

"Mike and his crew did a fabulous job of a Mitsubishi mini split install in Selinsgrove in 2021; efficient, effective and professional maintenance. Highly recommend!"

"We had our Mitsubishi mini splits installed last year and we’re loving it! Even with our old single pane windows it stays warm in the winter and cool in the summer. These units have no problem keeping up with harsh temperatures. Honestly I never realized how affordable it was to get these installed otherwise we would have gotten this done a long time ago. The guys at MGM were very friendly, professional, quick and overall did a fantastic job. I don’t have a single thing to complain about."

"Mike and his team at MGM Mechanical were great! We had 5 units installed a couple months ago and their product is top of the line. They're efficient and thorough with the install as well. I highly recommend them."

"I had refrigerant leak in my A/C system and was recommended to get a new one. I had multiple quotes for a new system from 4 different companies, and MGM was the best of the 4. Michael was honest, and offered me a great deal on new system (Payne). The technicians were great during the installation and very respectful to your property. Don’t hesitate to give them a call for repairs or installation."

"MGM Mechanical recently installed a Mitsubishi ductless mini split system in our home in Lewistown, PA. Mike was very attentive to our needs, and truly cared about making sure the system would both heat and cool our home. Andy and his crew did a great job with the installation. The lines were carefully routed to minimize visibility, they left behind no mess, and arrived promptly at the scheduled time. I highly recommend MGM Mechanical if you are considering a ductless mini split system. MGM is a Mitsubishi Diamond Dealer, which adds two years to the warranty coverage on units they install. 100% satisfied with MGM Mechanical."
