Like many small business owners, when I started Gravener Heating & A/C in 1982, working out of my home with just one truck and a lot of ambition, my goal was simply to establish a reliable customer base from which I could make a modest living for myself and my family. After working for a major Pittsburgh heating and air conditioning corporation, I realized I wanted to operate my own company with a commitment to both honesty and personal service. Quality work at reasonable prices had to be the backbone of the entire business.
A good place to start is to compare your furnace's age to the national average. The average life expectancy of furnaces in homes today is between 16 and 20 years. If your furnace is close to this age or older, you should begin shopping. Shopping at different times of the year can effect the overall cost of your new furnace or air conditioner. The most important factor when deciding to replace the furnace is efficiency. Furnaces have become much more efficient over the past 20 years and you can save a significant amount in fuel costs by switching to a better model.
