But if you have had to repair it a few times or have noticed issues with performance and efficiency, we recommend buying a new unit.

Key Factors to Consider for Your Oakville Furnace Replacement

A furnace is an essential home appliance, especially in Oakville, where winters can get cold. So when it is time to buy a new furnace for your home, you want to get it right. Here are some factors to keep in mind to help you choose wisely.

Fuel Matters

Most Missouri homes have furnaces that run on natural gas. If you own a gas furnace, you have the opportunity to switch to a vastly more efficient unit. A high-efficiency 90-98.5% AFUE gas furnace can help lower your monthly heating costs. Our experts will help you choose a high-efficiency gas furnace that is best for your needs.

Modern electric furnace can be another energy efficient option, especially if you do not have access to natural gas. If you want to replace your electric furnace, our experts can help. We consider your heating needs and budget to recommend a perfectly matching brand and product.

Think About Efficiency

High-efficiency furnaces offer up to 98.5% AFUE. But they come with a higher price tag, often about $1K-$2K more expensive than less efficient units. It is worth paying more though as even a 15% increase in AFUE would save you around $300 per year. So you would recoup your money within 5-6 years, and then on, save thousands so long as you stay in your home for another 7-10 years or more.

When planning your Oakville furnace replacement, pay attention to the efficiency rating of furnaces. Anything higher than 90% qualifies as highly efficient and gas furnaces approaching 98% AFUE are super-efficient.

Consider The Size Of Your Rooms

It is also important to take the square footage of your home and the space requirements of your furnace into account to choose the correct furnace size. An oversized furnace will impair your indoor air quality and increase your heating costs. An undersized furnace will run constantly to keep your home warm, skyrocketing your energy bills.

Right-sizing your furnace is not difficult but if you haven't done it before or don’t have the time to figure it out, our technicians are here to provide expert advice. We offer furnace sizing as part of our Creve Coeur replacement services. We will help you find a furnace that fits the available space in your home and heats it efficiently.

Install Properly

Generally, the risks involved in DIY furnace installation are higher. Self-installation can affect the furnace's warranty and lead to a variety of problems and issues down the line. Having your new furnace installed by our experienced technicians will save you hassles and regrets. Apart from Oakville furnace replacement, we also offer ongoing maintenance service to keep your unit running efficiently and covered under the HVAC warranty.
