How Long Does a Furnace Replacement Take?
A straight furnace swap is usually done in one day. Venting changes, a chimney liner, gas line or duct work, and the permit inspection add time. What to expect.

We replace furnaces across Maple Grove for $4,500–$9,500 installed, and a 96–98% condensing model lands at roughly $6,500–$9,500. Houses built from the 1990s on often have PVC venting already, so it gets checked rather than rebuilt. CenterPoint Energy supplies the gas and runs the furnace rebate.
A furnace replacement in Maple Grove is usually a straightforward swap in an open basement, and the real decisions are in the ductwork. Two-story houses from the 1980s through the 2000s commonly have too few upstairs returns and long runs to the far bedrooms, and a bigger furnace doesn't change that. We run a Manual J, measure static pressure, and quote return-air corrections or a two-zone damper system with the equipment when the numbers support it.
If your old furnace is a 90%-plus model, the PVC venting is already there, but the pipe size has to suit the new furnace's venting tables, and terminations that sit where snow drifts can move. Houses still on a 1980s 80% furnace may have a metal flue the water heater shares. CenterPoint Energy supplies gas across the city; a qualifying furnace can earn a heating system rebate, applied for in the same calendar year as the install. The city's mechanical permit and inspection are part of the job.

An installed furnace from us runs about $4,500–$9,500 in Maple Grove: 80% AFUE roughly $4,500–$6,000, 96–98% AFUE roughly $6,500–$9,500. Same prices in Maple Grove as in every town we serve. See the furnace replacement cost guide.
Furnace and boiler rebates come from CenterPoint Energy, which lets you use the heating dealer of your choice as long as the application goes in during the same calendar year as the install. Heat pump and AC rebates depend on your electric company. Wright-Hennepin pays its heat pump rebates as a credit on your electric bill. Connexus Energy has air-source, ductless and ground-source heat pump rebates plus a reduced-rate dual-fuel program. Xcel Energy's heat pump rebates may need a registered contractor, so ask before you buy. Rebate programs change every year, so check the utility's current terms before you buy.

In many two-story houses here, yes. Zoning adds motorized dampers in the ducts and a second thermostat upstairs, so each floor calls for heat and cooling on its own. It works best with a two-stage or variable-speed furnace that can run at low output when only one zone calls. National cost guides such as HomeGuide put a 2-zone retrofit at $1,700–$2,800. We check the returns first, because zoning can't fix a starved return.
At 25-plus years, we usually lean toward replacement when the repair is a major one: an inducer, a control board or a heat exchanger. A builder-grade furnace that age has given you its best years, and parts get harder to find. A small repair like an igniter or flame sensor can still carry it through a season while you plan. We put the repair price and a replacement quote side by side, in writing.
