How Much is Too Much For Furnace Repairs? Bartlett Heating and Air Has the Answer

Has your furnace been acting up lately? Is your furnace really old or breaks down often? The next time you have furnace issues you might want to decide to either fix or replace your furnace. The average consumer spends around $400 a year in furnace repairs. There are some instances where it is better to replace your old furnace than to get parts of it fixed. If your furnace is really old and on its last leg, spending money to repair it is a bad idea because another part will likely be right behind it ready to break. If you have a old furnace and need an expensive part like a board or a motor that can cost anywhere from $600 and on you are better off putting that money to a new furnace. A new furnace depending on size and brand you need can be around $1700 and many places like Bartlett Heating and Air offer 0% financing which makes a new purchase easier. A new furnace wont break down often and it will be way more efficient which will save you money in the long run. If you have smaller repairs that are needed, make sure you are not getting overcharged. It is normal to pay a service call, labor, and a diagnostic fee when you need your furnace checked out. Part prices all vary on what make, model, and age of your furnace but there is typically a ballpark. You can feel free to call around to other HVAC places to check what they would charge but make sure it is a reputable person that has an office and all the necessary licenses, bonds, and insurances needed to run a business. They will of course cost more than someone doing it out of their garage but you will be safe knowing that you are paying for quality work that is done right the first time. Searching online for parts to buy is never accurate so beating up the HVAC technician over a price you see online is never a good idea. Do your research on the company before you hire a technician making sure they have all necessary licenses, bonds, and insurances so you make sure they do quality work. HVAC businesses typically will price competitively and be in the same ballpark.
