CenterPoint Energy supplies gas across Apple Valley, and a high-efficiency furnace from any dealer can qualify for its heating rebate. With us, a replacement runs $4,500–$9,500 installed: roughly $4,500–$6,000 at 80% AFUE or $6,500–$9,500 at 96–98%, sized with a Manual J.
Fitting a new furnace into an Apple Valley split-entry is mostly a puzzle of pieces sharing one room. When the old 80% furnace comes off the chimney, the water heater often stays behind in a flue that's now too large, so we line it or change the water heater's venting. The new PVC pipes have to leave through a rim joist that may also carry the dryer vent and sit near the gas meter, and every termination needs its manufacturer clearances.
Townhomes add association rules. Many associations want to know where a new vent will exit before anyone drills, and some limit which walls can be used. The 2000s two-stories and walkouts in neighborhoods such as Cobblestone Lake are now on their first replacement, and a walkout lower level heats very differently from the floors above, which is a reason to weigh a two-stage furnace with a variable-speed blower.

CenterPoint Energy supplies gas across Apple Valley, and its furnace and boiler rebates work with the dealer of your choice as long as you apply in the same year as the install. Electric rebates depend on your address. Dakota Electric members have Energy Wise Rebates, including a central AC tune-up rebate open to any contractor, while its quality-installation rebates for AC and heat pumps need a registered contractor, who files the paperwork. Xcel Energy customers have heat pump and AC rebates of their own; ask whether they need a registered contractor. Rebate programs change every year, so check the utility's current terms before you buy.

Often for the outside part. Swapping a furnace inside your unit is usually your decision, but a new PVC vent through an exterior wall or roof changes the building, and many associations want to approve that location first. Ask your manager for the rules before the quote is final. We mark where the vent and intake would exit and provide the specifications they need. The city mechanical permit is separate, and we pull it.
That depends partly on who sends your electric bill. Apple Valley is split between Xcel Energy and Dakota Electric Association. Dakota Electric lists rebates for heat pumps and for first-time dual-fuel program enrollment, and its quality-installation heat pump rebate requires a registered contractor. Xcel's heat pump rebates run through its Trade Partner Network. Ask your utility about those rules first. A heat pump runs $7,500–$14,500 installed with us.
