Frequently Asked Questions
How long do gas furnaces typically last?
With proper maintenance, gas furnaces can last 15–20 years. If your furnace is approaching this age, replacing it may improve comfort and reduce heating costs.
What’s the difference between conventional and high-efficiency furnaces?
Conventional furnaces are around 80% efficient, while high efficiency condensing models can reach up to 98.5%. Higher efficiency means more heat and less energy usage.
Why is furnace sizing so important for my home?
An incorrectly sized furnace—too small or too large—will use more energy and struggle to heat your home evenly. Our team ensures your system is perfectly matched to your space.
When should I consider replacing my furnace instead of repairing it?
If your system is older, inefficient, or frequently needs repairs, it may be more cost-effective to upgrade to a newer, high-efficiency model.
What are common signs that my gas furnace needs repairs?
- Furnace running longer than 30 mins
- Blowing cold air
- Rising gas bills
- Short cycling
- Strange or loud noises
Why is it risky to delay furnace repairs?
Ignoring issues can lead to full system failure, costly emergency repairs, or even frozen pipes during a cold snap. Prompt attention ensures comfort and safety.

He was very professional and has great technical skills, most importantly he wanted to solve our issues. Our Geothermal unit is all tuned up and he even serviced the fireplace that hadn’t worked all season. Thanks again Nick.

Erin picked up the call and I could “hear” her smile, she was friendly, explain all options and so helpful. Nick worked on the AC & was great “dumbing it down for me” and was great finding the problem and NEVER pushed for sales, he just explained what was wrong and fixed it. Loved the Metro experience and saved them in my phone for next time. Plus did some shopping around and the “other companies” seem to only want to up-sell me on new everything-ugh but Metro didn’t. Great job all!!!
