Budget $4,500–$9,500 installed for a new furnace in Ham Lake: roughly $4,500–$6,000 for 80% AFUE and $6,500–$9,500 for 96–98%. We size it with a Manual J and write a flat-rate quote. On propane, a 96–98% model cuts more fuel cost per season than it would on natural gas.
Every Ham Lake furnace quote starts with the fuel question. Where natural gas reaches the street, the utility is CenterPoint Energy or Xcel Energy depending on location. CenterPoint's high-efficiency furnace rebate lets you choose the dealer; for Xcel's, ask whether the rebate needs a registered contractor. Where gas doesn't reach, the furnace burns propane from the yard tank, converted with the manufacturer's LP kit and set to the right manifold pressure when it starts up.
Venting needs extra care on open lots. PVC terminations should go on the side of the house least exposed to drifting snow, high enough to clear what piles up there, and away from windows and the meter. Condensate lines stay out of unheated garages. Many homeowners here pair the new furnace with a cold-climate heat pump, since Connexus Energy, Ham Lake's electric utility, lists air-source heat pump rebates and a reduced-rate dual-fuel program. Ask the city of Ham Lake which office issues the mechanical permit for a rural parcel.

What moves the quote in Ham Lake: venting changes on a switch to a condensing furnace, a liner for a water heater left alone in the chimney, and ductwork and returns. See the furnace replacement cost guide.
A reduced-rate program for heat pumps paired with a furnace. Where natural gas is available, CenterPoint's furnace rebates work with any dealer, and Xcel runs its own heating equipment rebates. Ask us which rebates apply when we quote. Rebate programs change every year, so check the utility's current terms before you buy.

It can nudge it. A Manual J accounts for air leakage, and a house exposed to wind on all sides leaks more cold air in than one sheltered by neighbors and trees. That's figured into the load along with insulation, windows and the house's orientation. It rarely justifies a much bigger furnace, and sealing the worst leaks usually does more. We run the numbers rather than matching the old nameplate.
Only if both are due. If the heat pump is young, we replace the furnace and make sure the new one works with the existing dual-fuel controls and the heat pump's coil. If both are aging, replacing them together lets us match the blower, coil and outdoor unit as one system and set the changeover temperature for your propane price. We'll price it both ways.
