New gas furnace after a furnace installation
Furnace replacement

“We've fixed it twice this winter. Is it time for a new one?”

When the repairs keep coming and the bills keep climbing, a new furnace usually pays you back.

Furnace installation covers removing the old unit, setting the new furnace, connecting the gas, venting, ductwork and thermostat, and testing everything before we leave. Your technician sizes it for your home, rather than just copying what was there.

New furnaces are more efficient than the ones they replace, so the running costs drop as well. You get good, better and best options in plain English, a free in-home estimate and financing on jobs of $500 or more.

Every install is done to code and to the manufacturer's specifications by trained, licensed technicians, with a 1-year warranty on the installation and the manufacturer's equipment warranty on top.

Your options

Furnace, heat pump or both?

The right system depends on your fuel, your climate and what's already in the house.

Gas furnace

Strong, steady heat

A natural gas or propane furnace gives quick, hot air on the coldest nights. A good fit where gas is already in the house.

Heat pump

Heats and cools

One system for summer and winter, moving heat instead of burning fuel. Very efficient in mild winters.

Heat pump installation →

Dual fuel

The two together

A heat pump handles most of the year, and the furnace takes over in deep cold. Popular in Winchester winters.

Choosing a furnace

The right furnace for your home, budget and lifestyle

We'll help you choose. Here's the short version of what changes from one furnace to the next.

Standard efficiency

About 80% AFUE

Lower upfront cost. About 20 cents of every heating dollar goes up the flue.

High efficiency

95% AFUE and up

Costs more to buy and install, but burns less gas every winter, so it can pay for itself over time.

Single-stage

Full blast, then off

Simple and lower cost, but louder, with bigger temperature swings between cycles.

Two-stage

Low most of the time

Runs gently on low and ramps up only on the coldest days: quieter, more even heat and fewer cold spots.

Furnace installation FAQs

Questions about a new furnace

Cost, lifespan and timing.

How much does it cost to replace a furnace? +

It depends on the size of the home, the efficiency you choose and any venting, gas line or ductwork changes. In-home estimates are free, and you get a written price before any work starts. Financing is available on jobs of $500 or more.

How long does a gas furnace last? +

It varies a lot with maintenance, filter changes and how hard it works. Rather than going by age alone, compare the cost of the next repair with the cost of a new furnace, and factor in the lower running costs of a newer, more efficient model.

How long does furnace installation take? +

Most straight replacements are done in a day. Changing fuel, venting or ductwork can add time, and your technician will tell you the schedule with the estimate.

Is it hard to install a furnace yourself? +

It's a job for a licensed technician. It involves gas piping, venting, electrical connections and combustion safety, and mistakes can be dangerous. Manufacturers also expect professional installation to honor their warranties.

What warranty comes with a new furnace? +

Every new system is installed to code and to the manufacturer's specifications by trained, licensed technicians, and the installation is covered for one year. Manufacturer equipment warranties pass through to you, and some brands extend their parts warranty when the equipment is registered.

Can I finance a new system? +

Yes. Financing is available through Wisetack on jobs of $500 or more, and AC and heat pump replacements are among the jobs our customers finance most. You can check your options from home in a couple of minutes. All financing is subject to credit approval.
