"How much does a new furnace cost?" is the most-asked HVAC question, and the honest answer is: it depends on your home, not just the furnace. Two houses on the same street can land at very different numbers. Rather than quote a guess online, here's a clear breakdown of what actually drives the price — so the written quote you get makes sense.
The factors that move the price
- Sizing: a furnace has to match your home's heat load. Too small and it can't keep up; too big and it short-cycles and wears out faster. Proper sizing is part of the quote, not an afterthought.
- Efficiency level: higher-efficiency furnaces cost more up front and less to run. The right choice depends on how long you'll stay and your heating bills.
- Your existing setup: ductwork condition, the venting, the gas line, and how accessible the unit is all affect labour.
- Single- vs. two-stage or modulating: more comfort-focused furnaces cost more but run more evenly and quietly.
- Add-ons and code: a new thermostat, a chimney liner if venting changes, or bringing older work up to code can factor in.
