Furnace Replacement in Chaska, MN
Chaska furnace replacements run $4,500–$9,500 installed with us, sized by Manual J and quoted flat-rate in writing. In a Jonathan townhome closet or an old brick house near City Square, the vent route and the water heater drive much of the price, so we measure before we quote.
Furnace replacement calls in Chaska homes
Chaska furnace replacements depend heavily on the neighborhood. In Jonathan, closet furnaces in 1970s homes and townhomes need a cabinet that fits with service clearance, and a 96% furnace needs a PVC route through a wall that may be shared or close to a neighbor's window. Some associations regulate where vents and condensers go, so we check before quoting.
In the brick houses downtown, thick walls make every vent penetration real work, and when the furnace leaves the old chimney, the water heater may need a liner or a power-vent replacement. Clover Ridge and the newer areas already have PVC and mostly need a correctly sized furnace matched to the existing vent and coil. Gas across Chaska is CenterPoint Energy, whose heating system rebates cover qualifying high-efficiency furnaces and boilers from the dealer of your choice. We pull the mechanical permit and meet the inspector.

How much does a new furnace cost in Chaska?
An installed furnace from us runs about $4,500–$9,500 in Chaska: 80% AFUE roughly $4,500–$6,000, 96–98% AFUE roughly $6,500–$9,500. Same prices in Chaska as in every town we serve. See the furnace replacement cost guide.
Are there rebates for a new furnace in Chaska?
Because most Chaska homes buy electricity from the city, electric-side rebates come from the City of Chaska's own program, which has covered air-source and ground-source heat pumps and central air conditioners, with limited funds handed out first come, first served. The few addresses on Xcel Energy follow Xcel's heat pump and cooling rebates instead. On the gas side, CenterPoint Energy's heating rebates cover high-efficiency furnaces and boilers, and you can pick the dealer. Rebate programs change every year, so check the utility's current terms before you buy.

Furnace replacement in Chaska: questions
What's involved in venting a 96% furnace through the wall of a Chaska brick house?
Coring through a multi-course brick wall takes the right bit and some time, and the hole has to be sealed so water and air don't follow the pipe in. The termination also has to clear windows, doors, the gas meter and the ground by the distances the manufacturer and code require, which close neighbors on older lots can make tight. Sometimes a roof route works better. We decide on site and price it in writing.
Should an older Chaska house with a boiler switch to a furnace?
Usually not, if the radiators and piping are sound. Hot-water heat is even and quiet, and a new boiler, standard or condensing, keeps it. Switching to a furnace means running ductwork through thick brick walls and plaster, which is costly and disruptive. If you want air conditioning too, ductless heads add cooling without touching the boiler. We price a boiler replacement and walk you through the venting choices.
