What's included in a furnace replacement

One visit, three options, written prices. Decide with all the numbers in front of you.

When to replace instead of repair

  • The furnace is over 15 years old and needs a major part
  • You've had more than one repair in the past two winters
  • A technician has found a cracked heat exchanger
  • Some rooms never get warm and you also want cooling

If your furnace has simply stopped working, start with furnace repair. If you're leaning toward a heat pump, see how a gas furnace conversion works.

Questions people ask us

A high-efficiency gas furnace replacement typically costs about $5,500 to $9,500 installed, depending on size, venting changes and access. A dual fuel system is typically $15,000 to $22,000 and an all-electric ducted heat pump $14,000 to $20,000, before rebates.

Most gas furnaces last 15 to 20 years with regular maintenance. Rising repair bills, uneven heating and a cracked heat exchanger are the usual signs it's time.

Rebates in BC now focus on heat pumps rather than gas furnaces. If you're replacing a furnace, it's worth checking whether a heat pump or dual fuel system qualifies for the income-qualified CleanBC program or the federal rebate opening in early 2027.

If you want air conditioning, have good ductwork and enough electrical capacity, a heat pump or dual fuel system is worth pricing. If budget is tight and you don't need cooling, a new gas furnace costs less up front. We'll show you both.
