For $4,500–$9,500 installed, we replace furnaces in Jordan with units sized by Manual J rather than copied from the old nameplate, which matters in the older downtown houses where furnaces were often oversized. The quote is written and flat-rate, and propane homes around town get the same pricing.
Near downtown Jordan, a replacement furnace usually gets smaller. The 1880s through 1920s houses carry furnaces sized generously decades ago, and a load calculation on the house as it stands now often calls for less, along with an added return or two so the new furnace can breathe. Venting is the other decision: an 80% furnace needs a properly sized liner in the old brick chimney, while a 96–98% model goes to PVC and leaves the water heater needing its own fix.
The post-2000 subdivisions along US-169 are mostly condensing-to-condensing swaps, where we check the PVC run, replace the trap and drain, and correct builder sizing. Farms and acreage on propane get the LP conversion and often a conversation about adding a heat pump. CenterPoint Energy supplies gas in town, and its heating rebates are open to whichever dealer you choose.

An installed furnace from us runs about $4,500–$9,500 in Jordan: 80% AFUE roughly $4,500–$6,000, 96–98% AFUE roughly $6,500–$9,500. Same prices in Jordan as in every town we serve. See the furnace replacement cost guide.
CenterPoint Energy supplies gas in town, and its heating rebates cover high-efficiency furnaces, boilers and thermostats with the dealer you choose. Electric programs depend on the address. Minnesota Valley Electric Cooperative ties its air-source and ductless heat pump rebates to enrollment in its off-peak program and requires a Quality Installation contractor for most of them. Xcel Energy customers use Xcel's heat pump and cooling rebates; ask whether the rebate needs a registered contractor. Farms on propane miss the gas-side rebates. Rebate programs change every year, so check the utility's current terms before you buy.

If it's sized right and the air can move, yes. Uneven heat in older houses usually comes from too few returns and duct runs stretched to additions, not from a furnace that's too small. A smaller furnace sized by Manual J runs longer cycles, which mixes the air better. We look at the returns and the runs to additions and put any duct changes in the written quote, so the new furnace isn't fighting the old layout.
If CenterPoint Energy supplies your gas, which it does in town, yes, subject to its current rules. The furnace has to be AHRI- or ENERGY STAR-listed with a verified AFUE, you can use the heating dealer of your choice, and the application goes in the same calendar year as the install. An estimate doesn't count as proof of purchase. Propane homes outside the gas lines don't qualify for CenterPoint's program.
