When Should You Replace Your Furnace?

A furnace's longevity depends on a variety of factors, including the brand, maintenance, and use. A quality brand and regular maintenance can extend a furnace's lifespan to 20 years or more. But with age, a furnace loses its efficiency, gathers rust, and starts experiencing problems. Most homeowners will replace their furnaces every 15-20 years.

How Much Does Furnace Installation Cost?

The average cost of installing a new furnace is $4,700, with the typical price range between $2,800 and $6,800. However, there are a variety of factors that can influence your final furnace replacement cost. Consider these cost factors when planning your Creve Coeur furnace replacement:

• Furnace type: Installation costs will vary based on the type of furnace. For example, these costs can range from:
  • Electric: $2,000-$7,000
  • Natural gas: $3,800-$10,000
  • Oil: $6,750-$10,000 or higher
• Size of the furnace: A furnace's size is measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs). To get the correct size of furnace for your home, the typical formula is to multiply the square footage of the space you want to heat by 40. So if you have a 2,200-square-foot home, you will need a furnace of about 88,000 BTUs. Generally speaking, a 40,000-60,000 BTU furnace for a 700-1,500 square foot home will cost $2,000-$3,000. For larger homes of up to 5,000 square feet, the cost can reach $6,500. There are also other factors that can increase the BTUs required. For example, cathedral ceilings and drafty windows will require more BTUs to sufficiently warm up the space, affecting costs.
• Efficiency: High-efficiency furnaces generally cost $1K-$2K more than less efficient models. But they save about $300 in heating costs annually, adding up to much more down the line. We can help you compare high-efficiency furnaces with 90-98.5% AFUE when you use us for your Creve Coeur furnace replacement.
• Brand: The brand you choose will be another important factor in determining your furnace replacement cost. At Galmiche & Sons, we supply Lennox and Goodman furnace, and help you find quality products that fit within your budget.
