The cost of furnace installation can range from $767 to $14,796, with most homeowners spending around $5,000 to $6,000. The price depends on factors like the furnace type and the scope of the installation.
When installing a new furnace, it is important to know what you are looking for so you can make the best decision for your new heating unit installation. The top things you will want to research are:
- Does your current furnace need to be repaired, or should you just replace it altogether? If you are unsure, you can ask your contractor to help determine the condition of your existing furnace and provide recommendations.
- What size furnace will you need for your home to adequately heat each room without energy waste?
- Is there an energy efficiency level you want to save money on energy bills in the long run?
- Which local furnace installer will be the most reliable and within your project budget?
Gas furnaces are most commonly installed in areas of the U.S. where the climate is much colder, and temperatures can drop below freezing. They are one of the most energy-efficient heating units you can install, and their AFUE percentage rating (energy efficiency level) can go up to 95% on higher end furnaces.
Gas furnaces are a type of home heating unit that work with forced air to circulate heat throughout your home during colder months. They use natural gas or propane as their main energy source, delivered through a main gas line or stored in onsite tanks (if a gas line is unavailable in your area).
An alternative to a gas furnace is an electric furnace if you are looking for an eco-friendly option. The low cost of installation and safety provinces also drives homeowners towards electric furnaces. Read our blog on pros and cons of gas and electric furnaces here.
When choosing a local furnace repair company, be sure to:
- Check reviews and ratings from other homeowners.
- Ask for multiple estimates and compare.
- Verify certifications and experience.
A reliable and experienced contractor will ensure your furnace is repaired or installed correctly, keeping your home comfortable year-round.
Your next step will be to meet in-person with your choice of best contractors to review the specific details and expectations of your furnace repair and installation project. Be sure to discuss the following with each contractor:
- Ask for proof of insurance, which should provide their insurance company name, policy number, and policy limits.
- Ask about their HVAC license and work permits.
- Discuss who will manage warranty details and responsibility for your AC unit.
- Make sure to get a fixed price on the project before signing a contract whether it is servicing, repair, replacement, or installation of the whole furnace unit.
Some common furnace repair issues include:
- Clogged or dirty filters.
- Malfunctioning thermostats.
- A faulty pilot light.
- A faulty fan limit switch.
Regular maintenance can help prevent many of these issues, keeping your furnace running smoothly.
