How Much Does A Furnace Cost?

home savings analysis with furnace and air conditioner costs

One of the first questions homeowners have when it comes to evaluating the performance of their HVAC units is often, “how much does a furnace cost?” And we get it; a new heating system is a big and important investment to your home that you want to last for years to come. But the furnace price depends on a variety of factors in your home.

4 Factors That Affect The Cost Of Your Furnace

1. Furnace & HVAC Technical Requirements

One of the biggest factors in determining the furnace price is the size and structure of your home.

  • How many square feet of living space does your home provide?
  • What is the style or layout of the floor plan? One, two, three stories?
  • How does the construction determine the type of heating and/or air conditioning required?
  • Is it designed for hot water heating, steam, or forced air?

The size, configuration, windows, and insulation will directly affect the size of your system and the cost of your furnace installation.

2. Furnace & HVAC Code Requirements

Another non-optional factor in the cost of a new furnace is code requirements. What are the safety and building code requirements in your town, city or state?

Don’t worry, you don’t need to know what your specific code requirements are, but know that they are put in place specifically by the state, city or municipal code to keep you and your family safe.

Strict safety and code requirements can significantly affect the cost of the installation. Every furnace replacement and installation job is followed up with an inspection from your specific city. If there are issues with the installation of your HVAC system, our team will address those and fix them as needed.

3. Environmental Choices

There are also optional factors that affect the furnace replacement cost. There are new products becoming available every day designed to enhance the comfort your system provides.

Obviously, the more accessories you add, the more expensive your complete HVAC system will be.

4. People / Contractor Choices

You decide the company and the people you trust to enter your home and install and service your furnace and air conditioning system.

  • Do you want people who don’t smoke, drink, swear, or abuse your property or family members?
  • Someone without a criminal background?
  • Do you want someone you know you can trust around your spouse or children… someone you could even trust with a key to your home?

These are the kinds of people we hire because these are the kinds of people we believe in to demonstrate the values of a Home Comfort Hero. They are rare, get paid well, and if they fail on any one of these points, they simply will not work for us.

Our technicians are as focused on their professional capabilities as they are on their moral convictions. They are certified graduates of one of the most elite HVAC training centers in the country. And they participate in a minimum of 150 hours a year of scheduled training sessions for new technology and installation best practices.
