Signs Your Furnace Is Inefficient
Increased Energy Bills
Higher energy costs may indicate your furnace is inefficient and struggling to meet heating demands.
Short Cycling
Frequent on-off cycles throughout the day, known as short cycling, can be a sign of an inefficient furnace. Causes may include thermostat malfunctions, clogged filters, or ignition system problems, potentially necessitating furnace replacement.
Inefficient Fuel Usage
Furnaces using oil or natural gas may show inefficiency through excessive fuel consumption, leading to higher energy expenses.
Age of the Furnace
As furnaces age, they become less efficient. Furnaces approaching the 15-20 year mark usually operate less efficiently than newer models with higher efficiency ratings.
Poor Indoor Air Quality
Reduced indoor air quality, such as increased dust, allergens, and pollutants, may mean you have an inefficient furnace that can’t properly filter the air.
Noisy Operation
Unusual noises such as banging, clanging, or squealing are indicative of mechanical issues within the furnace, such as loose or worn parts or a malfunctioning ignition system. Timely inspection and repairs are advisable to prevent potential escalation of the problem.
Inconsistent Heating
If your home experiences uneven heating or certain rooms feel significantly warmer or cooler than others, it could be due to a struggling furnace. While issues with ductwork or other factors could contribute, ongoing inconsistencies probably mean you have a failing furnace.

The Different Types of Furnaces Explained
A Fahrhall technician can walk you through the differences, helping you select the best one for your home and needs.
Basic Furnace
We only sell high-efficiency furnaces here in Ontario. High-efficiency in this context refers to a furnace that is designed to convert over 90% of the heat generated by the flame into usable heat for your home. When the thermostat signals the need for heat, the furnace activates the gas valve, ignites the flame, and initiates the blower motor. In a basic high-efficiency furnace, the blower operates at full capacity, delivering a robust and immediate supply of warm air. This continues until the temperature set on the thermostat is achieved.
2-Stage Furnace
A 2-stage furnace marks a significant advancement in both comfort and efficiency, introducing a dynamic approach to heating. This innovative furnace operates by utilizing only a fraction of its total capacity initially to reach the thermostat-set temperature. The distinguishing feature of a 2-stage furnace lies in its ability to operate at two different heating capacities. It starts by using the lower stage, which is typically around 65-70% of its full capacity, for the initial heating needs. If the furnace determines that the temperature is not rising at the desired rate, it seamlessly transitions to its higher stage, utilizing the full capacity to meet the heating demand effectively.
Variable ECM Furnace
A variable ECM (Electronically Commutated Motor) furnace represents a significant advancement in intelligent blower fan systems, offering unparalleled efficiency and enhanced comfort. The standout feature of a variable ECM furnace is its ability to dynamically adjust motor speeds and airflow based on the specific heating or cooling requirements at any given moment. This adaptability allows the furnace to operate with optimal efficiency. By intelligently varying the motor speed, the variable ECM furnace ensures that it delivers precisely the amount of heated or cooled air needed, minimizing energy consumption and maximizing overall system efficiency.
Modulating Furnace
A modulating furnace represents the pinnacle of heating technology, offering unparalleled efficiency, comfort, and quiet operation. At the heart of a modulating furnace is a sophisticated gas valve that adjusts its heating rate precisely based on the specific heating needs of the home. This intelligent modulation ensures that the furnace delivers just the right amount of heat required to overcome heat loss, maximizing efficiency. These units are designed to meet the highest standards in terms of technology, reliability, and user experience.
How Long Does a Furnace Last?
There are various factors that affect how long your furnace lasts. However, ideally, a furnace should last for about 20 years. So if your furnace was installed around 2000, you should be looking into replacing it. If your furnace doesn’t heat your house like it once did, it’s time to consider a replacement.
To maximize the lifespan of your furnace, make sure to:
- Check furnace filters every month
- Replace furnace filters regularly and as needed
- Have a professional technician service your furnace yearly
- Hire a reputable furnace installation or replacement company
