Debunking a Common Heating Myth

One of the most persistent myths in the HVAC industry is that you need to replace your furnace every 10 years, no matter what. At Heating & Cooling Two Inc., we’re committed to giving our customers honest, straightforward advice about their heating systems.

Here’s the truth: While furnaces typically last 15-20 years, their lifespan can vary significantly based on several factors:

• Regular maintenance and upkeep
• Usage patterns and local climate
• Installation quality
• Equipment brand and model

A well-maintained furnace can often exceed its expected lifespan by several years. Instead of automatic replacement at the 10-year mark, we recommend watching for these warning signs:

• Steadily increasing energy bills
• Frequent repairs needed
• Uneven heating throughout your home
• Unusual noises or operation

For homeowners in Rogers, Dayton, Osseo, and surrounding areas, we provide honest assessments of your heating system’s condition. Sometimes, a simple repair or maintenance service can add years to your furnace’s life, saving you thousands in unnecessary replacement costs.

Remember, every home is different, and so is every heating system. Instead of following arbitrary timelines, trust experienced professionals to evaluate your system’s actual condition and performance. At Heating & Cooling Two Inc., we’ll never recommend a replacement unless it’s truly in your best interest.
