Furnace replacement in Apple Valley costs $4,500–$9,500 installed with us, sized with a Manual J and quoted in writing before we start. In 1970s split-entries, coming off the chimney means new PVC through a crowded rim joist and a fix for the water heater left behind.
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.

By efficiency: 80% AFUE roughly $4,500–$6,000; 96–98% AFUE roughly $6,500–$9,500. See the furnace replacement cost guide.
CenterPoint's furnace and boiler rebates work with the dealer of your choice as long as you apply in the same year as the install. Ask us which rebates apply when we quote. 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 a separate step from the association's approval.
It's worth pricing. The ducts in most Apple Valley split-entries can usually carry a heat pump, and the furnace stays on as backup for deep cold. Townhome owners should know the association must approve the outdoor unit's spot before anything is ordered. A heat pump runs $7,500–$14,500 installed with us.
