Furnace Replacement FAQ

New furnace installations with Performance Heating & Cooling start at just $2,850. Most homeowners spend $2,850 to $8,200, depending on efficiency, size, features, and installation details.
We are a Premier Lennox Dealer, offering the full line of Lennox furnaces to fit your budget, efficiency goals, and comfort preferences.
AFUE = Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency — it measures how much of every fuel dollar becomes heat.
  • 80 AFUE: 80¢ heats your home, 20¢ lost
  • 96 AFUE: 96¢ heats, 4¢ lost
  • 99 AFUE: 99¢ heats, almost nothing lost
Lennox furnaces range from 80% to 99% AFUE.

Yes. With local energy costs around $1.10 per therm for gas and 16¢ per kWh for electricity, a high-efficiency furnace can save thousands:

  • Gas savings: ~$3,000–$4,200 over 20 years (99% vs 80% AFUE).
  • Electric savings: ~$1,800–$2,600 over 20 years (ECM vs PSC blowers).
  • Combined savings: ~$4,800–$6,800 over system life.

Plus:

  • Better resale value (buyers notice high-efficiency HVAC).
  • Lower climate impact (less fuel burned, fewer emissions).
The blower motor pushes warm air through your ductwork. With expert maintenance, most blower motors last 16–20 years.
  • PSC blower: ~840 kWh per season (~$134/year at 16¢/kWh).
  • ECM blower: ~270 kWh per season (~$43/year).

Choosing an ECM blower can save ~$1,800–$2,600 over 20 years. ECM motors also run quieter, adjust airflow automatically, and provide steadier comfort.

  • Single-stage: One flame level, lowest upfront cost.
  • Two-stage: Runs low most of the time, high only in extreme cold.
  • Modulating: Adjusts in small increments, quietest and most efficient.
With proper maintenance, most furnaces last 16–20 years. Without maintenance, lifespan can drop to under 10 years.

Replacement makes sense when:

  • Your system is 20+ years old
  • The heat exchanger is cracked or fails a safety check
  • Repair bills keep adding up
  • Energy bills climb despite service
  • Heating is uneven, noisy, or short-cycling

As a Premier Lennox Dealer, we offer:

  • Parts: 5–10 years (model dependent, registration required)
  • Heat exchanger: 20 years or lifetime (model dependent, registration required)

Warranties vary by model and require proper installation and registration. Extended coverage options are available.

Not usually. Most homes in Licking County only need duct sealing or return upgrades. Full duct replacement is rarely necessary. We test airflow and static pressure before making recommendations.

  • Utility rebates (AEP Ohio, Columbia Gas)
