It is recommended to replace your furnace every 10 to 15 years. “These systems may last a few years longer, but they will increasingly lose energy efficiency over time, costing you energy dollars,” Some of the common warning signs are frequent breakdowns (especially in winter months), uneven temperatures, increased noise, and lingering smells. If your contractor tells you that your furnace needs to be replaced, make sure you ask for a detailed explanation of why it can’t be repaired instead. “Be wary of technical jargon,” and “If they seem to be dodgy and don’t explain the issues in a way you understand, you might want to consider a second opinion.”

It is recommend to change your filter every 90 days, if no pets are in a home. With just one pet usually filter change every 60 days and if multiple pets in a home every 20 to 45 days.
