Furnace Replacement in Fridley, MN
In a Fridley rambler, a new furnace costs $4,500–$9,500 installed with us, sized by Manual J and quoted in writing at a flat rate. The furnace sits in an open basement in most of these 1950s–60s houses, which keeps installs simple.
Furnace replacements in Fridley homes
A furnace swap in a Fridley rambler or split-entry is usually one of the simpler installs we do. The basement is open, the furnace sits near the middle, and the ductwork is a straightforward trunk-and-branch layout. The decisions are efficiency and venting. Going from an 80% furnace to a 96% model means routing PVC from the center of the basement to a side wall, with the termination clear of the expected snow line, windows and the gas meter. The water heater left behind in the chimney usually needs a liner or a power-vent replacement.
These houses were built with ducts sized for heat, and adding AC later didn't change that, so we check that the new furnace's blower can move cooling airflow through them. CenterPoint Energy is the gas utility, and its high-efficiency furnace rebates are open to homeowners using any heating dealer. A replacement normally needs a city mechanical permit; ask us how it shows on your quote.

Furnace replacement in Fridley: questions
How far can the PVC vent run from the furnace in our Fridley rambler?
As far as the furnace's installation manual allows. Each manufacturer lists a maximum equivalent length for the intake and exhaust, and every elbow counts as several feet of straight pipe. A furnace in the middle of a rambler basement is usually well within the limit on 2-inch pipe, but a long route with many turns may need 3-inch pipe. We measure the route before quoting.
We want to replace our Fridley furnace in December. Does the CenterPoint rebate timing matter?
Yes. CenterPoint Energy's heating rebates require the application in the same calendar year as the install, and a proposal or estimate doesn't count as proof of purchase. If the furnace goes in during late December, the paperwork has to follow quickly, before the year ends. We give you the invoice and equipment details the application needs right after the install.
