In Becker, a replacement furnace costs $4,500–$9,500 installed with us, sized by Manual J. Early-1990s houses with an 80% furnace sharing a metal vent with the water heater need PVC, a condensate drain and a new plan for the water heater.
The first wave of Becker furnaces, installed as the town grew through the 1990s, is reaching the end now. Some of those houses went up with 80% furnaces sharing a metal vent with the water heater. Moving to a 96% furnace means PVC venting, a condensate drain to the floor drain, and a new plan for the water heater, which may need a liner, a resized vent or its own power vent. Houses from the late 1990s and 2000s usually have a condensing furnace already, so the PVC is in place and the swap is cleaner. Sizing gets the same attention as venting. Ramblers and split-entries from the 1990s have usually gained attic insulation and newer windows since the builder picked the furnace, so a Manual J often comes out below the old nameplate. In Becker the swap normally needs a mechanical permit from the city, and the venting change is part of what the inspector looks at.

Xcel's gas furnace rebate points to a participating contractor, and its ducted heat pump rebates call for a Trade Partner Network contractor, so ask before you buy. Programs change every year.

It's worth pricing. A heat pump pairs with the new furnace, carries the heating on mild and moderate days, and hands off to gas when it gets cold. Xcel Energy's heat pump rebates run through its Trade Partner Network contractors, so ask whether the rebate needs a registered contractor. A heat pump from us runs $7,500–$14,500 installed.
Often less than the one it has. Builders in the 1990s commonly sized furnaces with a rule of thumb and a margin on top, and many of these ramblers have since gained attic insulation and newer windows. We figure the load with a Manual J against Minnesota's winter design temperature instead of reading the old nameplate. An oversized furnace short-cycles, heats unevenly and wears out igniters and inducers sooner.
