Bloomington furnace replacement runs $4,500–$9,500 installed, flat-rate and written, as east-side ramblers move to a 96% model. On an east Bloomington rambler, the usual furnace job swaps an 80% unit on the chimney for a 96% model with PVC out the side wall.
East Bloomington furnace replacements tend to happen in the same corner of the same basement: a postwar rambler where the furnace sits beside the water heater and the washer. When an 80% furnace comes out, the new 96% model vents through PVC out the rim joist, and we plan the route around basement windows, the gas meter and the side-yard clearance, keeping the termination above the snow line. The water heater stays in the chimney alone and usually needs a liner.
West Bloomington's split-levels and walkouts are about airflow more than venting. Floors that heat and cool differently call for a two-stage or modulating furnace with a variable-speed blower, and sometimes zoning. CenterPoint Energy rebates qualifying high-efficiency furnaces here, and the equipment has to be AHRI- or ENERGY STAR-listed with a verified AFUE, so the model's AHRI listing is worth confirming on the written quote.

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 heating rebates cover high-efficiency furnaces and boilers and let you choose your own dealer, and it pays toward a ducted heat pump when the heat pump is paired with a gas furnace. Ask us which rebates apply when we quote. Rebate programs change every year, so check the utility's current terms before you buy.

Often it's worth pricing. A walkout lower level set into the hill stays cool while the main floor and bedrooms take the sun, so one thermostat is always wrong somewhere. Zoning adds motorized dampers and a thermostat per zone, and it pairs best with a two-stage or modulating furnace. HomeGuide puts a two- or three-zone retrofit at $1,700–$3,500 nationally. Adding it during the furnace swap saves reopening the ductwork later.
Usually not in a one-story rambler with an open basement. A modulating furnace adjusts its flame in small steps and runs almost continuously, which pays off most in houses with uneven floors or long duct runs. In a compact rambler, a two-stage 96% furnace delivers most of that comfort for less. The larger west-side split-levels and walkouts are where modulation earns its cost. Modulating models sit toward the top of our 96–98% range.
