It’s a terrible feeling when you know you’re close to having to replace your furnace. Sadly, it’s part of life, and the U.S. homeownership, and so is budgeting for a new furnace. So when that dreaded day finds you, where do you start?
The price of a new furnace will fluctuate depending on several factors, like the lifestyle and customs of individuals in the home. Health problems may also require air filtration systems, which also helps you decide which furnace is ideal for your home. Even hobbies can help you decide which furnace is right for you. Do you collect art or is someone a wine connoisseur? Humidity levels can alter the integrity of these things so you may think about purchasing a whole-home humidifier in your HVAC system.
The next thing to take a look at is the home’s design. What is the window count in the home and which direction do the windows face? What sort of insulation is currently installed and how well does it trap air in your home? How well installed the ductwork is, the preferred power (gas, solar, etc.), and even home blueprint can help determine which furnace is ideal for your family.

The technician will go over your options with you and give you a complimentary estimate on a new furnace installation based on their review of your home’s construction and unique features.
The next thing that will affect the price of your furnace is which contractor you hire to perform the installation. One business may have the system you want at a lower cost, but be mindful and confirm that they are licensed, bonded, and insured just in case something should take place while they’re on your premises. If a contractor who was not insured was injured on your property, you can actually be held liable.
