How much does a new furnace cost in Edina?
Edina furnace quotes split by neighborhood as much as by efficiency. With us, an 80% AFUE furnace comes to roughly $4,500–$6,000 installed and a 96–98% condensing furnace to roughly $6,500–$9,500, with CenterPoint Energy supplying the gas either way. In Morningside and the Country Club District, the vent route carries the cost. PVC from a 1920s basement needs an exit point that keeps its terminations the required distance from windows, the gas meter and a lot line a few feet off, and in the Country Club District a side or rear exit usually keeps the work clear of heritage review. If the gas water heater stays behind in the chimney, its venting usually needs a fix too, a line item people don't expect. Low ceilings may call for a shorter cabinet.
Postwar ramblers and split-levels to the south usually give us room to work and an easier wall to vent through. Rebuilt homes run higher for a different reason: two high-efficiency furnaces, often with variable-speed blowers, each with its own Manual J and its own price.

How much does a new central AC cost in Edina?
On Edina's close lots, sound can move the AC price almost as much as size does. Within our $5,200–$9,800 installed range, a variable-speed condenser that spends most of its hours at low speed sits higher than a single-stage unit; next to a neighbor's bedroom, it's often the one worth paying for. Placement adds its own items: a new pad, a longer line set to reach a quieter side yard, or in the Country Club District, a spot away from the street-facing facade. Indoors, a matched coil sits on the furnace, and in a 1930s basement the clearance under the joists can rule out taller coils. A system still charged with R-22 needs a new coil along with the condenser. Electrical changes are rare on a same-size replacement unless the new unit's breaker rating differs. If you're weighing a heat pump instead, the sound question is the same, since it runs outdoors all winter too.

How much do heat pumps and mini-splits cost in Edina?
In a rebuilt Edina house with two systems, a heat pump doesn't have to go on both; the first quote can cover just one. Ducted, it costs $7,500–$14,500 installed with us, usually set up as dual fuel alongside a CenterPoint gas furnace. The lower part of that range fits a heat pump that replaces a worn AC on a furnace with years left; cold-climate capacity, a quiet variable-speed outdoor unit for a close lot, and a new 240-volt circuit all push it up.
Ductless runs $4,200–$12,500 with us and suits the rooms Edina's ducts never reached: a sunroom, an enclosed porch, a finished attic under a Tudor roofline, an office over the garage. One wall head sits low in the range; several heads or a recessed ceiling cassette move it higher. Xcel Energy's Heat Pump Rebates include cold-climate mini-splits; ask whether your pick requires a registered contractor.

How much do HVAC repairs cost in Edina?
Edina's equipment runs from furnaces on gravity-era ducts in Morningside basements to communicating variable-speed systems in the rebuilds, and repair costs follow. Each call carries a $79 trip charge, dropped once the repair gets your go-ahead, with the repair priced flat-rate, in writing. The national figures here come from HomeGuide, not our price list. A furnace control board, which a leaking humidifier can ruin, has a typical national range of $300–$650, per HomeGuide. National cost guides such as HomeGuide put an ECM variable-speed blower motor at $800–$2,300. For an evaporator coil that leaks out of warranty, HomeGuide's typical national range is $2,500–$4,500, or $1,000–$2,500 while the coil is under warranty. A contactor worn by years of starts runs $200–$450 in HomeGuide's national figures.

Which rebates lower the price in Edina?
Two utilities split Edina's rebates. CenterPoint Energy, the gas utility, pays heating rebates on high-efficiency furnaces and boilers, and you pick the heating dealer; its Ducted Air Source Heat Pump rebate is for hybrid setups that keep a gas furnace. Claims need proof of purchase, not a proposal, and must go in during the install year. Xcel Energy handles the electric side, with Residential Cooling Rebates and Heat Pump Rebates; ask which ones need a registered contractor. Don't count on the federal 25C tax credit; it ended, and nothing installed after December 31, 2025 qualifies. Save Energy Minnesota, the state's HEAR and HOMES program, hasn't launched either. Programs reset every year, so read each one's current rules before signing.

Edina cost questions
We have two furnaces and two ACs in our rebuilt Edina home. Do both systems have to be replaced together?
No. Each system is its own replacement with its own price within our ranges, so you can replace the one that's failing and plan for the other. Each gets its own Manual J, sized to the floor it serves rather than matched to its twin. Doing both in one project can make sense when they're the same age, and there's no set two-system price.
Does a quieter condenser cost more on a close Edina lot?
Usually, yes. Variable-speed condensers run at low speed most of the time, which makes them quieter, and they cost more than single-stage units, so they sit higher in our $5,200–$9,800 AC range. Placement can add cost too: a pad on the far side of the house, or a longer line set to reach it. Each model's published sound rating is on the manufacturer's spec sheet, and we go over those numbers with you.
Does the Country Club District's heritage review make a new furnace or AC cost more?
Rarely. Replacing a furnace happens inside the house, and a condenser set back in its old spot is typically an in-kind replacement, so neither usually needs a certificate of appropriateness. Cost comes in when the shortest vent or line-set route would land on the street-facing facade; routing it to the side or rear can add pipe and labor to the quote. If a change to the front can't be avoided, ask Edina's heritage preservation staff first.
What does a humidifier add when we replace the furnace in our Edina plaster-wall house?
With us, humidifiers fall in our indoor air quality range, $350–$2,800 installed, with steam models toward the top. National cost guides such as HomeGuide put a typical whole-home humidifier at $400–$1,200. Furnace replacement is the easy moment to add or replace one, since the plenum connections are being rebuilt anyway. An outdoor sensor that lowers the target in deep cold protects plaster and window sills.
