## Summary
A replacement is a 15 to 20 year decision. Size and choose equipment for the house as it exists today, installed correctly for altitude, venting, and airflow.

## A strong fit when
- The furnace is roughly 15 to 20 years old or older and needs a significant repair.
- A cracked heat exchanger or other safety-critical failure is documented.
- Repairs are yearly and comfort has declined.
- A remodel, addition, or heat pump project is planned.

## Process
1. Home assessment. 2. Room-by-room load calculation. 3. Options with tradeoffs. 4. Permit and install with correct venting, condensate, gas piping, and altitude setup. 5. Commission and inspect.

## Factors affecting cost
Efficiency and staging, venting changes, ductwork condition, location and access, permits and code items.

## Common mistakes
Sizing to the old nameplate; comparing quotes by price alone; buying maximum efficiency without checking venting practicality.
