How Much Does Furnace Installation Cost?

Installing a new furnace is an important investment for your home’s comfort and efficiency. The cost of furnace installation varies depending on several factors, including the type of furnace, the size of your home, and the complexity of the installation.

The cost of furnace installation or furnace replacement service will depend on several factors, including the equipment you select and any modifications that must be made to your home to accommodate the system. The best way to find out the cost of the project is to schedule an estimate with us. We also offer financing and specials which can make furnace installation more affordable.

Natural Gas Furnace Installation Costs

Furnace Unit Cost:

Basic Natural Gas Furnace (80% AFUE): $800 – $1,500
Mid-Range Natural Gas Furnace (90-95% AFUE): $1,500 – $3,000
High-Efficiency Furnace (96%+ AFUE): $3,000 – $5,500

Installation Labor:

Installation labor generally ranges from $1,000 to $3,000, influenced by installation complexity (e.g., new ductwork, venting, or gas line modifications), local labor rates, existing furnace removal or retrofitting.

Additional Costs:

Ductwork Repair/Replacement: $1,000 – $5,000 (if needed)

Flue Venting and Exhaust Work: $300 – $1,000
Thermostat Installation: $100 – $300 (if a new thermostat is needed)

Gas furnaces are one of the most popular, effective, and cost efficient ways to heat your home during the winter months. We’re not making that up, even the US Dept of Energy says so, with gas heat being used in almost 50% of all homes! Regardless of where you live through the USA, as long as you have access to natural gas or propane gas, you can have a highly efficiency and reasonably priced gas furnace installed at your house at an affordable cost.

Electric Furnace Installation Costs

Furnace Unit Cost:

Basic Electric Furnace: $600 – $1,200
Mid-Range Electric Furnace: $1,200 – $2,500
High-Efficiency Electric Furnace: $2,500 – $4,000+

Installation Labor:

Labor costs typically range between $1,000 to $3,000, depending on complexity of the installation (e.g., new ductwork, electrical upgrades), local labor rates, furnace size and placement.

Additional Costs:

Ductwork Repair/Replacement: $1,000 – $5,000 (if needed)
Electrical Upgrades: $500 – $1,500 (if required for higher-powered furnaces)
Permits and Inspections: $100 – $500

Electric furnaces only use electricity, which is the most efficient method of heating, however, it creates a higher electricity bill in the end. They are also less intensive to install than a gas furnace. It is extremely important to have the right furnace for the size of your house or else it will either run constantly or turn on and off too frequently, wearing it down.

Propane Furnace Installation Costs

Furnace Unit Cost:

Basic Propane Furnace (80% AFUE): $1,200 – $2,500
Mid-Range Propane Furnace (90-95% AFUE): $2,500 – $4,000
High-Efficiency Propane Furnace (96%+ AFUE): $3,500 – $6,000

Installation Labor:

Labor costs for propane furnace installation typically range from $1,000 to $3,000, depending on complexity of installation (e.g., new venting, ductwork), propane tank installation or adjustments, local labor rates and region.

Additional Costs:

Propane Tank Installation/Replacement: $500 – $2,000 (if not already installed)
Ductwork Repair/Replacement: $1,000 – $5,000 (if needed)
Vent Pipe Installation/Modifications: $300 – $1,000
Thermostat Installation: $100 – $300
Permits and Inspections: $100 – $500

Propane furnaces are a good option for areas where natural gas or other materials are unavailable. However, heating costs vary greatly depending on the efficiency of the furnace you choose. A propane tank would also need to be installed, and propane gas can vary in price depending on the location of your home. The propane converts to gas once it is released, the gas then ignites and heats up which forces hot air through the ducts.
