If your furnace is less than 15 years old and this is the first major repair, fixing it usually makes sense. Most furnace components can be repaired or replaced individually without needing a whole new system.
However, if you’re calling for furnace repair frequently, or if your heating bills keep climbing despite no change in your usage, replacement might be more cost-effective. Heat exchanger cracks, in particular, often signal that it’s time for a new furnace since this repair is expensive and indicates the system has reached the end of its useful life.
