When Should You Replace Your Furnace?
Knowing the best time to replace your furnace can be difficult, but Burton is here to assist. Below is a list of signs that indicate it’s a good time to call a Burton specialist for a new installation.
- Age of furnace (15+ years) – As furnaces age, malfunctions become harder and more expensive to repair. If your system is nearing the end of its life, it’s time for a Burton furnace replacement.
- Rising energy bills – Older furnace models are not able to heat at the correct efficiency for your home. This causes your furnace to use up more energy while not creating the needed amount of heat. According to EnergyTrust, high-efficiency furnaces have a high upfront cost, they help to lower utility costs as time goes on.
- Inconsistent heating – Uneven heating throughout your home is due to your system not being able to push the proper amount of heat. This is a common problem resulting from age or improper size of your unit.
- Frequent repairs – Repair costs that reoccur rack up a bigger bill over time than simply just replacing the entire unit.
- Strange noises, odors, or poor air quality – Common signs that your furnace’s internal components are worn or that leakage may be occurring. For gas furnaces, it is especially important to replace them, as gas leaks could happen.
Cost of Furnace Replacement in Omaha
A new furnace typically costs between $2,800 to over $6,800. The price differs depending on multiple factors which include:
- Type of furnace

The price, of course, depends on whether you’re choosing a gas furnace or an electric furnace. An electric furnace can range from $1,600 to $6,900 while gas furnaces range from $3,800 to $10,000. Furnace replacement does not have to be a costly venture for Omaha residents. At Burton, we offer local financing options along with specials to make your heating experience even better.
When deciding between furnace repair vs replacement, you have to consider the state of your unit. If your unit is older or needs frequent repairs, then a replacement is better suited for you. If there are some internal issues like one or two broken components, then you should opt for a repair. Repairs keep newer furnaces functional and efficient—but remember that repair costs increase as they age. After a while, the price for replacement ends up being cheaper.

Furnace vs. Fireplace Heating: Which One is Right for You?
Deciding between a furnace and a fireplace comes down to whether you prefer looks or efficiency.
A fireplace (wood or gas) is aesthetically pleasing and creates a warm, cozy atmosphere. However, only about ¼ of the heat produced by a fireplace warms your home—the rest travels through your chimney. A fireplace also needs firewood or gas. Wood can be expensive and gas won’t produce much heat.
A furnace is ideal for heating efficiency. Furnaces use your HVAC’s ductwork to circulate heat. Even though a furnace lacks visual appeal, it’ll heat your entire home at a faster rate.
