Furnace replacement calls in Falcon Heights homes
In Falcon Heights' older houses, venting drives the replacement. Moving from a chimney-vented 80% furnace to a 96–98% condensing unit means routing two PVC pipes out a side wall or the roof and running the condensate to a floor drain or a small pump, with the terminations clearing windows, doors, the gas meter and walkways by the manufacturer's distances. Staying at 80% is possible, but the old masonry chimney usually needs a liner sized for the new furnace, and the water heater's venting gets rechecked either way.
Sizing comes from a Manual J on the house as it is now, after any insulation or air sealing, which is why the Home Energy Squad visits the city promotes pair well with a replacement. On the gas side, Xcel Energy's rebates for high-efficiency furnaces may require a participating contractor, so check the current terms. The City of Falcon Heights issues the mechanical permit, and inspections are scheduled through Little Canada, which the city contracts with.

Are there rebates for a new furnace in Falcon Heights?
Falcon Heights buys gas and electricity from Xcel Energy, and the city adopted an Energy Action Plan through Xcel's Partners in Energy program. Its Energy Action Hub points residents to Home Energy Squad, run by the Center for Energy and Environment, which checks insulation and heating and cooling systems and installs energy-saving materials. On equipment, a high-efficiency gas furnace can earn an Xcel rebate, and Xcel's heat pump rebates generally run through its Trade Partner Network contractors, so ask about that first. Rebate programs change every year, so check the utility's current terms before you buy.

Furnace replacement in Falcon Heights: questions
Once our Falcon Heights furnace goes to PVC, can we take the old chimney down?
Only if nothing else uses it. The water heater usually still vents there, and some houses have a fireplace or a boiler on the same stack. Switching the water heater to a power-vent or other sealed model frees the chimney completely; after that, taking it down or capping it is a job for a mason and a roofer. During the quote we confirm exactly which appliances still depend on that flue.
Our Falcon Heights furnace sits in the middle of the basement, far from an outside wall. Can it go 96%?
Usually. The PVC can run across the basement ceiling to an outside wall as long as the total length, with every elbow counted, stays inside the manufacturer's maximum. Some models allow the pipes to run up an unused chimney as a chase, but only when no other appliance vents into it. If the run is too long, an 80% furnace with a relined chimney is the fallback. We measure it during the quote.
