Furnace Installation & Replacement for DC & NOVA Homes
Like all home appliances, your furnace has a finite life span. It’s important to know your unit’s expected longevity and plan accordingly for an inevitable heating replacement.
You should upgrade to a new furnace if:
- Your unit is 15 to 20 years old.
- Your furnace needs frequent repairs.
- Your system has a notable decline in energy efficiency.
- The cost to repair your system is 50% or more than the cost to replace it.
Gas vs. Electric Furnaces
Electric furnaces rely on an electric heating element, while gas furnaces have a pilot light and use natural gas or propane to keep homes warm.
Electric furnaces typically boast greater energy efficiency and lower installation costs but can be more expensive to operate depending on electricity prices.
Gas furnaces are more cost-effective for heating in areas with lower gas prices but may have higher installation costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are furnaces energy-efficient?
Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) is the metric that determines furnace efficiency.
Electric furnaces generally tend to be more energy-efficient with a 100% AFUE rating since they don’t require combustion.
Gas furnaces should have a minimum AFUE of 81%, but 90% is ideal.
What should I set my furnace temperature to in the winter?
A general rule of thumb is to set your thermostat between 68 and 72 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter.
Why does my furnace smell bad?
Common furnace odors include burning odors, musty or mildewy smells, and rotten egg smells.
Burning dust is normal when initially starting your system and should dissipate after the first few minutes.
Rotten egg smells can indicate a gas leak and require immediate attention.
