If your furnace is over 20 years .It is better to replace a new one,if you can get a good deal on the new one in summer,which is low season for heating business.
Reason to replace a new one is 1-The fire pot inside your furnace is last about 20 years.Some time it may last over 25 years the most.
2-If the fire pot is cracked and CO (carbon monoxide) can leak into the living area and will cause deadth to life.
3-The furnace insurance is about over $100.per year.And not insurance for the fire pot if it cracked during the insurance period.
4-If you go ahead to pay for 5 years insurance will cost you over 5 to 7 hundred dollars.
5-If you are going to have a new furance for less than 2 thousand for now instead of more in 5 more years on the road.For e.g. even the price will be 2 thousand in the 5th years after you had been paid for insurance which is another 7 hundred dollars.
6-The new furance will has better efficience than the older one.Therefore you will get more heat value than keep using the old one.
I hope you will consider to have a free estimate in the new furnace,if you can pay for it.
