Furnace Replacement Near You
Properly sized central furnace replacement and new heating installation.
When a central furnace reaches 15 to 20 years of service, develops a cracked heat exchanger, or starts needing expensive motor and board repairs every winter, putting more money into the old cabinet stops making sense. A properly sized furnace replacement eliminates surprise winter breakdowns and cuts monthly heating bills right away.
Our installation teams handle complete residential central furnace replacements across the country. We calculate the true heating load of your home, match the new furnace to your existing ductwork and central air conditioning coil, bring gas piping and flue venting up to current code, and test static pressure and temperature rise before we leave.

What Furnace Replacement Covers
Furnace replacement is the complete change-out of an aging, inefficient, or red-tagged central forced-air furnace with a new, code-compliant heating unit. Unlike a quick part swap, a replacement involves mechanical sheet-metal transition work, gas line sediment trap verification, electrical wiring, flue exhaust engineering, and airflow commissioning.
Installing a furnace with the exact same BTU rating as your 20-year-old unit is often a mistake. Older furnaces were frequently oversized by 30 to 50 percent, causing loud airflow, short-cycling, and hot-and-cold rooms. We verify square footage, insulation levels, window area, and duct capacity so your new furnace runs smooth, quiet cycles.
Symptoms & Problems This Solves
- •Red-tagged or shut-down furnace due to a cracked heat exchanger or carbon monoxide leak risk
- •Furnace is 15 to 25 years old with discontinued parts or a rusted-out burner and blower cabinet
- •Skyrocketing winter gas or electric bills caused by an old 65% to 75% AFUE unit
- •Rooms on the second floor or far end of the house that never get warm enough
- •Loud booming ignition noises and whistling return ducts from an oversized old furnace
- •Repeated repair bills that exceed half the value of a brand-new heating system
Key Homeowner Benefits
- ✓Full manufacturer parts warranty (typically 10 years registered) and fresh labor protection
- ✓Lower monthly winter utility bills when upgrading from an older unit to an 80% or 95%+ AFUE furnace
- ✓Quieter operation and steadier room-to-room temperatures with two-stage or variable-speed blowers
- ✓Peace of mind during sub-freezing winter nights with brand-new ignition, safety limits, and heat exchanger
- ✓Improved summer cooling airflow because the furnace blower also circulates air for your central AC
When Homeowners Should Schedule Furnace Replacement
Call immediately if a technician or utility inspector has shut off your furnace due to a cracked heat exchanger or unsafe combustion readings.
Schedule an estimate in early autumn (October or November) if your furnace is over 15 years old and struggled through last winter, so you do not have to rush a replacement during a January blizzard.
Consider combined replacement if you are already replacing a 15-year-old central air conditioner, since matching the furnace blower and indoor coil at the same time saves labor and improves efficiency.
Our Furnace Replacement Process
Call for a Heating Replacement Consultation
Call (855) 734-0279 and provide your zip code. We schedule an on-site evaluation of your current furnace, ductwork, venting, and gas or electric supply.
Heat Load Calculation and Equipment Options
We compare single-stage, two-stage, and variable-speed furnaces in both 80% AFUE (metal flue) and 95%+ AFUE (PVC condensing) configurations with transparent pricing.
Old Unit Removal and Code-Compliant Install
Our crew disconnects and hauls away the old furnace, fabricates sheet-metal plenum transitions, connects gas with a proper drip leg, installs venting, and wires the thermostat.
Combustion, Gas Pressure, and Airflow Commissioning
We dial in the gas manifold pressure, measure supply-to-return temperature rise, check static duct pressure, and walk you through your new system and warranty.
What Is Included in Your Service Visit
Furnace Replacement Options
80% AFUE Standard-Efficiency Gas Furnace
Uses existing metal chimney/B-vent flue without needing new PVC wall venting or condensate drains.
Best for: Mild to moderate climates, tight utility closets, or straightforward budget-friendly replacements.
95% to 98% AFUE High-Efficiency Condensing Furnace
Uses a secondary heat exchanger and sealed PVC venting to convert almost every dollar of gas into heat.
Best for: Cold states with long winters where natural gas savings quickly pay back the upgrade.
Two-Stage or Variable-Speed Comfort System
Runs at low capacity 80% of the time for quiet, even heat and steps up to 100% only on the coldest nights.
Best for: Two-story homes, houses with uneven room temperatures, and homeowners wanting quiet airflow.
Common Mechanical Faults & Field Fixes
| Component / Issue | Typical Symptom | Standard Technical Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Cracked Primary Heat Exchanger | Flame rollout, fluttering burner flames when the blower starts, or carbon monoxide traces. | Full furnace replacement (or heat exchanger swap if under factory warranty). |
| Rusted Secondary Condensing Coil | Water leaking inside the blower compartment, foul exhaust odor, and pressure switch lockouts. | Replace the aging condensing furnace and pitch the new condensate drain line properly. |
| Obsolete Control and Motor Assembly | Multiple expensive failures on an R-22 era furnace where replacement parts exceed half the price of a new unit. | Upgrade to a modern ECM-equipped central furnace with a 10-year factory warranty. |
Pricing Considerations & Upfront Quotes
Total furnace replacement cost depends on BTU capacity (typically 40,000 to 120,000 BTU), efficiency rating (80% vs. 96% AFUE), blower type (single-stage vs. variable-speed), and installation access (basement vs. tight attic or crawl space).
Switching from an 80% furnace to a 95%+ condensing furnace requires running PVC intake and exhaust pipes to an exterior wall and routing a condensate drain, which adds a modest one-time installation step.
Every quote is provided in writing upfront after inspecting your setup, with no hidden add-ons on installation day.
Frequently Asked Questions About Furnace Replacement
How long does a central furnace replacement take?
Most standard basement, closet, or garage furnace replacements are completed in 4 to 8 hours on a single day, so your heat is back on the same evening.
Should I choose an 80% AFUE or 96% AFUE gas furnace?
In northern and mountain states with long, freezing winters, a 95% to 96% AFUE furnace saves substantial money on gas every winter. In milder southern states or apartments where running new PVC vent pipes through exterior walls is impractical, an 80% AFUE furnace is often the cleanest fit.
Do I have to replace my central AC at the same time as my furnace?
No, you can replace just the furnace if your central air conditioner is still in good shape. However, if both units are over 14 years old, replacing them together saves on overlapping labor and guarantees a matched blower and indoor coil.
