If you think your old clunker of a furnace is the one, take a photo of it and send it to us, along with another image of the manufacturer’s name and a serial number.

Many accidents involving gas furnaces are caused by faulty parts. And, older furnaces that don’t comply with current standard safety codes are at an even higher risk.
The average life expectancy of a gas furnace is 10 years depending on the brand and maintenance performed over the life of the unit. As mechanical equipment ages, its performance degrades and becomes less efficient.
