Furnaces are one of the oldest residential heating systems. Your furnace plays a crucial role in maintaining the comfort and livability of your home during winter. A functional furnace transfers heat to air before it is circulated through the blower. A dysfunctional furnace fails to perform this function. From clogged filters to tripped circuit breakers, there are a number of reasons why furnaces stop working. Getting a malfunctioning furnace replaced should be on top of your priority list. If, however, your furnace is beyond repair or nearing the end of its service life, getting it replaced makes more sense. One of the most common questions we get from homeowners is what is the cost of replacing and installing a new furnace? In this post, we attempt to answer this question.
The average cost of replacing or installing a furnace ranges from $2,150-$5,900. Homeowners typically pay in the range of $2,544-$6,127 for furnace installation or replacement. The cost of gas furnace replacement is higher ($2,000-$10,000) as they are more complex. If you have an electric furnace, expect to pay between $1,000 and $6,000. The cost of replacing an oil furnace is between $4,500 and $7,000, while geothermal furnace repair can cost you $3,000-$30,000 and upward.
The actual cost will depend on your preferred brand. If you have your heart set on a high-efficiency model, expect to pay 50-100 percent more than the price.
