Furnace Replacement in Burnsville, MN
Burnsville's split-levels usually have a roomy utility room and a chimney close by, so moving to a 96–98% furnace with side-wall PVC (roughly $6,500–$9,500) tends to go smoothly. Our full range is $4,500–$9,500 installed, written and flat-rate, sized with a Manual J instead of the old label.
Furnace replacement calls in Burnsville homes
Burnsville's split-levels are some of the easier houses in the metro for a furnace swap. The utility room usually has space around the cabinet, a masonry chimney, and an outside wall close by for the PVC run a condensing furnace needs. The piece that takes thought is the water heater. When the furnace leaves the chimney, the water heater vents alone into a flue built for two, so we quote a liner or a power-vent heater instead of hoping it drafts.
Sizing is where these houses get misjudged. A bigger furnace won't fix a cold lower level; a two-stage burner, a variable-speed blower and a lower-level return usually do more. CenterPoint Energy supplies gas citywide, and its heating system rebates cover qualifying high-efficiency furnaces installed by the dealer of your choice. The mechanical permit and inspection are part of every job, and in associations we confirm where a new vent may exit before install day.

How much does a new furnace cost in Burnsville?
An installed furnace from us runs about $4,500–$9,500 in Burnsville: 80% AFUE roughly $4,500–$6,000, 96–98% AFUE roughly $6,500–$9,500. Same prices in Burnsville as in every town we serve. See the furnace replacement cost guide.
Are there rebates for a new furnace in Burnsville?
All of Burnsville gets gas from CenterPoint Energy, whose furnace and boiler rebates work with the dealer of your choice, but electricity comes from one of three providers depending on your address. Xcel Energy customers have heat pump and AC rebates through its Trade Partner Network. Dakota Electric members have Energy Wise Rebates, including AC tune-up rebates open to any contractor and quality-installation rebates that need a registered contractor. Minnesota Valley Electric Cooperative members should check the co-op's own programs. Rebate programs change every year, so check the utility's current terms before you buy.

Furnace replacement in Burnsville: questions
Our Burnsville townhome association has rules on vents. Does that limit the furnace we can buy?
It can. A 96% furnace vents through PVC out a side wall or the roof, and associations sometimes restrict terminations on shared walls or the front of the building. Code also sets clearances from windows, doors and the neighbor's openings. We check your association's rules and the unit's layout before quoting, and if a side-wall exit won't work, we look at a roof route or a concentric vent kit.
Why would you quote a smaller furnace than the one in our Burnsville house?
Because many older split-levels were fitted with more furnace than they needed, and most have since gained new windows and attic insulation. The Manual J shows what the house actually loses on a design-cold night. An oversized furnace heats the upper level fast, shuts off, and leaves the lower level colder. A right-sized two-stage furnace spends most of its time on low fire, which evens out the floors.
