Telltale Signs Your Furnace Needs to Be Replaced

It can be difficult to know whether a simple repair will suffice or if a full replacement is the more cost-effective solution. Here are the most common indicators that it’s time to invest in a new furnace for your Montebello home:

Your Furnace is Over 15 Years Old: The average lifespan of a furnace is between 15 and 20 years. If your unit is approaching or has surpassed this age, it is operating on borrowed time. Modern units offer significant efficiency and performance improvements.
Frequent and Costly Repairs: Are you calling for repairs more than once a year? If a single repair costs 50% or more of a new unit's price, replacement is the smarter financial choice. Constant breakdowns signal that internal components are failing.
Rising Energy Bills: A furnace loses efficiency as it ages. If your heating bills are steadily climbing without a change in your usage, your unit is likely working harder and consuming more energy to produce the same amount of heat.
Uneven Heating and Cold Spots: A properly functioning furnace should distribute heat evenly. If some rooms are too hot while others remain stubbornly cold, your furnace may be improperly sized or losing its capacity to heat your home effectively.
Strange Noises or Odors: Loud banging, rattling, or humming noises can indicate serious mechanical problems, such as a cracked heat exchanger or a failing blower motor. These issues often warrant a full replacement.
Visible Signs of Damage: Any visible rust, corrosion, or cracks on your furnace, especially around the heat exchanger, are serious safety concerns and demand immediate attention.

The Lasting Benefits of a Modern Furnace Installation

Upgrading your heating system is an investment that pays dividends in comfort, safety, and savings. A new, high-efficiency furnace offers numerous advantages for Montebello homeowners.

Lower Monthly Energy Costs: New furnaces are built to strict efficiency standards, measured by their Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating. Upgrading from an older furnace with a 60% AFUE rating to a modern unit with a 95% rating can save you hundreds of dollars annually on your heating bills.
Unmatched Comfort and Reliability: A new furnace delivers consistent, quiet, and reliable heat throughout your home. Forget about cold spots and unpredictable performance. With a new system, you gain the peace of mind that comes with a robust warranty and dependable operation.
Improved Indoor Air Quality: Modern heating systems offer advanced filtration capabilities that can significantly improve your home’s air quality. They are more effective at removing dust, pollen, dander, and other airborne allergens, creating a healthier living environment for your family.

Frequently Asked Questions About Furnace Replacement

How long does it take to replace a furnace?

A standard furnace replacement in a Montebello home typically takes between 4 to 8 hours. The exact time can vary depending on the complexity of the installation and any necessary ductwork modifications.

Should a 25-year-old furnace be replaced?

Absolutely. A furnace that is 25 years old is well past its expected service life. It is likely highly inefficient, prone to breakdowns, and may pose safety risks like carbon monoxide leaks from a cracked heat exchanger. Replacement is the safest and most economical choice.

What is a good alternative to a traditional furnace in Montebello?

For Montebello's mild climate, a high-efficiency heat pump is an excellent all-in-one alternative. It provides both heating and cooling in a single unit, operating with exceptional energy efficiency. We can help you determine if a heat pump is the right choice for your home.

Do I need a permit to install a new furnace in California?

Yes, California law requires a permit for any new or replacement furnace installation. This ensures the work is performed safely and up to current building codes, protecting your home and family. Our team manages the entire permitting process for you.

Ruben and team at Piggies Air Conditioning were amazing to work with. They got our AC installed and our old unit removed within 1 day and at a great price. We highly recommend Piggies Air Conditioning!

Ruben from Piggies went above and beyond when he came to provide us with a quote for doing some duct work. He was also able to identify the underlying problem as to why we have been having a major issue with our heat in our office suite. He took photos, explained the issue, what he could and could not do, and what to communicate to our property owner. He spent far longer answering questions and finding the source of an issue that wasn't even the reason why he was onsite. EXCELLENT
CUSTOMER SERVICE!

Jose R.

First of all I NEVER do reviews or rate any company or product. But, Piggies Air Conditioning did an amazing job at a GREAT price! I always get at least 3 estimates, and in this particular situation, I had at least 5. These guys were the most reasonable by several thousand dollars, with BETTER equipment that the others! Our ac and heat package is at least a 17 seer system, which is top of the line! I've been in the construction business my entire life, and dealt with many companies from all the trades. It really doesn't get any better than Piggies! This company and its personnel were on time, and courteous, which is hard to come by these days. Ruben, Luis were very professional, and I was in constant contact with them throughout the job. The Daikin product is one of the best in the world! I'm giving Piggies two thumbs way up!

Ruben was very responsive and quick to assess. Gave really great advice and cares about the service he provides. Looking forward to using Piggies for HVAC issues and maintenance.

Tran L.

Overall great job replacing our antiquated AC unit. The evaluation and detail is a big deal to us. Rueben explained all the techincal aspects and gave us great
recommendations and feedback. The actual installation was painless and unremarkable, his AC experts got it done, got it cleaned and most importantly got it right. Rueben even went a step further to assure we had
protection from the coming rain, that is service unheard of these days. His price was competitive and a REAL value for the service we recieved. Using anyone else for your AC needs, would be a huge mistake. We thank them again and will recommend to everyone.

Therese F.

I am a realtor in Los Angeles, and while we were getting ready to sell my clients home in Pasadena, an inspector from another company backed into my clients air conditioner. I was referred to Piggies AC by another trusted client so I called them. I talked to Ruben, he answered the phone right away, answered some of my initial questions, and was able to get me an appointment just two days later. On site Ruben was there on time, was extremely knowledgeable, And told us the best course of action to get the AC unit back in good working order. A day or two later he sent us an invoice and his prices were very reasonable. I am happy, Client is happy, thank you Ruben!

Woody M.

Leaving a 5-star review just after the initial inspection because I was blown away by Ruben's professionalism.
Echoing a lot of the other reviews here, Piggies Air Conditioning responds so quickly to requests (even though I actually accidentally sent in multiple requests on my side without responding, oops!)
They were able to come do a FREE energy audit and initial inspection on the same day and Ruben was amazing at explaining his thoughts on our house's situation and what he thought was worth the money and wasn't worth the money.
I truly felt like he was trying to help me find the best solution to our issues instead of just trying to upsell us on everything and anything.
I'm definitely recommending this business to anyone I know if they want a trustworthy and realistic service, value, and quality.
