When Should You Replace Your Gas Furnace?
At the 10-year mark with the same furnace, you will want to keep a close eye on your monthly utility bills to see if they are going up. You also want to track the number of repairs throughout the year.
Heating and cooling costs typically account for about 40 percent of your energy expenses, so if you see these expenses going up, your furnace is probably not running as efficiently and costing more to heat your entire Meridian home.
Is your home well insulated? Do you feel a draft every time you walk by a window or door? It always makes sense to take a whole-house approach to your HVAC needs. When you do need to replace your furnace, address these other issues to keep it running at peak efficiency.
We install, replace, repair, and maintain all makes and models of heating and cooling equipment. With more than five decades of experience and thousands of satisfied clients, you can be confident that you made the right choice with Western.
Gas Furnace Ratings
The AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) rating on your furnace indicates how much energy it converts. An energy-efficient furnace with an AFUE rating of 95 means it can convert 95 percent of the energy it consumes into heat.
The higher the AFUE rating, the more money you save on monthly utility bills. Energy-efficient furnaces are more environmentally friendly since they emit a lesser amount of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. If you want to reduce your Eagle home’s carbon footprint, this is a great place to start!
Keep in mind that maintaining your ductwork and sealing the windows and doors in your Boise home are key factors in energy-efficiency savings. If your home is poorly insulated, your furnace will struggle.
How Much Money Can a New Furnace Save You?
Our AFUE energy savings calculator can help determine how much you could save on your utility bills. Simply enter your current unit's AFUE value and compare it to a newer, more efficient system. You can even customize it to better match your home's system for a more accurate calculation.

“The office answered promptly, was polite, and sent help right away. Dustin Howell was also prompt, polite, and professional. He was pleasant to speak to and made me feel valued. He explained things to me in terms I could understand. He is a technically competent person with excellent people skills. He quickly diagnosed the problems. He pursued the furnace vendor for warranty information on our behalf and was able to get the part covered under warranty. He came back the next day and fixed the warrantied part. My experience with Dustin was perfect. Dustin deserves praise and a raise.”

“Cris came out to do maintenance on my gas heater (my bills have been horrendus). He checked out the thermostat and set it for me. Everything looked good there, and the furnace checked out ok. After cleaning things up, he said to check next months bill and see if it made any difference, if not, check with the gas company to see if something is wrong with the meter, or if there is some kind of leak somewhere. He also suggested that I put a surge protector on the house, and explained to me what it does. I trust Cris and have him as my go-to tech.”

“This was a furnace checkup that was part of my service agreement. He found an issue where a seal had failed and moisture was causing some rust. He didn't have the parts on his van so he had them delivered to his next appointment and then came and did the repairs. He was very friendly and I'm glad he was able to make the repairs the same day.”

“Russ did the maintenance on the furnace and changed needed filters. He found that the humidifier had been turned off, and started it. I had not realized it was off. I was sure the thermostat said it was on. Now I know why setting it at 45% still was too dry. When the cost of the platinum service had skyrocketed, Russ called to see if it was an error. As you know it wasn't, but I appreciate his dillegence.”

Such nice and pleasant person to interact with. Truly makes your day to start it off with Todd servicing your system. Western has to be in the top 2 or 3 HVAC companies in the valley, if not the best!”
