Replacing a builder furnace in Elko New Market costs $4,500–$9,500 installed with us, fixed in writing and sized by a Manual J. A load calculation on the house as built often calls for a smaller furnace than the 2000s builder picked by square footage.
A replacement in an Elko New Market subdivision house usually goes in the same spot, but it shouldn't automatically be the same size. Builder furnaces from the 2000s were often chosen by square footage, and a load calculation on the house as actually built frequently calls for less. The existing PVC vents and condensate drain can be reused when the new furnace's manual allows that pipe size and run, and if the terminations sit where snow drifts every winter, this is the time to move them.
A home on propane needs the furnace set up for LP. The city normally requires a mechanical permit for the install. Condensate from a 96–98% furnace drains to a floor drain or a small pump, and we keep that line out of cold spots so it can't freeze on a January night.

By efficiency: 80% AFUE roughly $4,500–$6,000; 96–98% AFUE roughly $6,500–$9,500. See the furnace replacement cost guide.
Minnesota Energy Resources gas customers can get heating system rebates on high-efficiency furnaces, boilers, HRVs and thermostats in existing homes; Greater Minnesota Gas has its own furnace, boiler and thermostat rebates. Ask us which rebates apply when we quote. Rebate programs change every year, so check the utility's current terms before you buy.

Often, yes. The new furnace's manual lists the pipe diameter and maximum length it allows, and if the existing run fits, is glued properly, slopes back toward the furnace and is supported along the way, we reuse it. If the new furnace needs larger pipe for that length, or the terminations don't meet its clearance rules, we replace the run. Either way, it's spelled out in the written quote.
If a gas main runs past the property, usually. Minnesota Energy Resources or Greater Minnesota Gas, whichever serves the area, would handle the service line and meter, and national cost guides such as HomeGuide put a new line from the meter to one appliance at $500–$2,000. The new furnace is simply ordered for natural gas. Ask your gas utility whether it offers a conversion incentive.
