How Long Does a Furnace Replacement Take?
Most furnace replacements take one day; venting, a chimney liner, gas line or duct work can add a second. Ours run $4,500–$9,500 installed. Call 612-429-3465.

A new furnace in Hanover costs $4,500–$9,500 installed with us, depending on whether it's an 80% or a 96–98% model and what the venting needs. Many homes here have walk-out lower levels, so our Manual J load calculation counts that glass as living space. Every quote is written and flat-rate.
Most Hanover homes built since the mid-1990s already have a condensing furnace venting through PVC out a side wall, so the swap is often cleaner than in an older town. We still check the pipe diameter and total length against the new furnace's instructions, move terminations that sit too close to grade or under a deck, and replace the condensate trap and drain rather than reuse brittle fittings.
Sizing is where these houses surprise people. The original furnace was often picked as if the lower level were a basement, and a two-stage or variable-speed model with corrected ductwork usually does more for a cold walk-out than extra BTUs. Older acreage homes on propane get the same load calculation, with the tank supplier handling the gas side.

By efficiency: 80% AFUE roughly $4,500–$6,000; 96–98% AFUE roughly $6,500–$9,500. See the furnace replacement cost guide.
For gas, CenterPoint Energy's heating system rebates let you choose any dealer, while for Xcel Energy's gas furnace rebate you should ask whether a registered contractor is required. Rebate programs change every year, so check the utility's current terms before you buy.

Not automatically. The walk-out's glass adds heat loss, but newer windows, added insulation or a finished lower level with better air sealing can pull the number the other way. A Manual J load calculation settles the size. In many walk-outs the real fix is delivery: more supply air and a proper return downstairs, plus a blower that runs longer, gentler cycles. We show you the numbers behind the size we pick.
Yes. A 96–98% furnace burns propane as well as gas, and the vent goes out a side wall in PVC like any condensing unit. It needs an LP conversion kit and a gas pressure check at startup, and we look at the regulator and line from the tank. The tank supplier handles the tank itself. Propane costs more per BTU, so the efficiency gain counts for more.
