Furnace Replacement in Coon Rapids, MN
The standard Coon Rapids job is an 80% furnace leaving a masonry chimney in a 1960s–80s rambler and a 96–98% unit going in with side-wall PVC, at roughly $6,500–$9,500. Our furnace replacements run $4,500–$9,500 installed overall, sized by Manual J and put in writing at a flat rate.
Furnace replacement calls in Coon Rapids homes
Coon Rapids furnace replacements are about as predictable as they get. The basement is open, the trunk-line ducts are simple, and an outside wall is usually close for the PVC intake and exhaust a 96–98% furnace needs. The part that takes judgment is the water heater. Once the furnace leaves the masonry chimney, a gas water heater vents alone into a flue sized for two, and it may need a liner or a switch to power-vent. We quote that with the furnace.
Sizing gets a Manual J because these houses have usually gained insulation and windows since the last furnace. CenterPoint Energy serves the whole city, and its heating system rebates cover qualifying high-efficiency furnaces from the dealer of your choice. The electric side splits at the Burlington Northern tracks, which matters if you add a heat pump: Connexus Energy north of the tracks has a reduced-rate dual-fuel program, and Xcel Energy south of them runs its own.

Furnace replacement in Coon Rapids: questions
Should we add a heat pump when we replace the furnace in our Coon Rapids house?
It's worth pricing, since these duct systems usually handle a heat pump with little rework. The heat pump replaces the AC outside, and the new furnace becomes backup for deep cold. North of the tracks, Connexus Energy offers heat pump rebates and a reduced-rate dual-fuel program. South of them, Xcel Energy's heat pump rebates call for a Trade Partner Network contractor. CenterPoint also has a ducted heat pump rebate when it's paired with a gas furnace.
Can we add a humidifier with the new furnace in our Coon Rapids rambler?
Yes, and it's the easiest time to do it, with the plenum and wiring already open. A bypass or flow-through humidifier mounts on the furnace and needs a water line and a drain, both usually close by in a Coon Rapids basement. Set its humidistat lower as it gets colder outside, around 25–35% in cold weather and less in deep cold, to keep the windows dry. Our indoor air quality equipment runs $350–$2,800 installed.
