Signs Your Furnace Needs Replacing
Until something major happens, most of us go about our days ignoring little furnace problems as long as they don’t impact our day. It can be tough to decide when a full replacement is needed, but our HVAC technicians know when the red flags are there. If you experience any of the following, talk to our team about a furnace replacement in Seattle, WA:
- Cracked heat exchanger: A cracked heat exchanger isn’t a minor heater repair. Damage to these components comes with a very real risk of dangerous carbon monoxide poisoning and almost always calls for a complete furnace replacement.
- Gas odors: Your utility company puts a special compound into gas that helps you notice leaks. If you come into contact with gas smells shut off your furnace and call for help immediately.
- Visible corrosion or damage: Aging furnaces can take on corrosion that if left unaddressed can cause fuel leaks and other dangerous issues.
- Burning smells: It’s not uncommon to smell a brief bout of burning when your furnace is used after a long period of downtime (it’s usually just dust burning off). However, if the burning smell doesn’t resolve quickly it could be a sign that electrical issues are happening.
Furnace Types We Replace and Service
Gas Furnaces: Gas furnaces burn cleaner and are cheap to maintain. Today’s models are much more environmentally friendly than their older peers. With a properly operating gas furnace your energy bills can be significantly lower.
Electric Furnaces: Electric furnaces are a popular type of furnace for several reasons. They’re easy to operate, come with none of the risks associated with gas options and are easy to maintain.
Oil Furnaces: Oil furnaces used to have a bad reputation. They were known for being too expensive to use and maintain, but times have changed. They’re growing in popularity in rural areas without access to natural gas lines, and modernized options come without many of the downsides of older models.
Home and business owners all have different heating requirements, but we have all of your bases covered. When you need a professional furnace replacement in Seattle, WA, Beacon can pair you up with the perfect unit for consistent heating all year-round.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long should my furnace last in Seattle?
Most furnaces have a lifespan of about 15 to 20 years. The caveat here is that getting the most out of your furnace requires regular maintenance. If age is getting the best of your furnace, reach out to our HVAC technicians for a furnace replacement in Seattle, WA!
What is AFUE?
Your heater’s Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency gives you a preview of how effectively your furnace converts fuel into heat. The higher your AFUE rating, the more energy efficient and environmentally friendly your furnace is. Don’t let the higher price tag of a furnace with a higher AFUE rating put you off, you’ll make up for it in long term savings.
How long does a furnace installation take?
A typical furnace installation should only take about 4 hours to one full day of work. If changes need to be made to your home to accommodate new fuel lines or other upgrades need to be made the timeline can obviously shift a bit. Once we have an idea of the total scope of work we’ll let you know how long you can expect things to take.
