Maplewood homeowners pay $4,500–$9,500 installed for a new furnace with us, about $4,500–$6,000 for 80% and $6,500–$9,500 for 96–98% models. Xcel Energy supplies both gas and electricity here, so furnace and AC rebates come through one utility. The City of Maplewood issues the permit, even for homes with a Saint Paul mailing address.
Maplewood replacements split by era. In the 1950s and 1960s ramblers on the north end, the old furnace usually vents into a masonry chimney shared with the water heater. A 96–98% furnace goes out the side wall in PVC, and the water heater left behind in a chimney sized for two appliances can draft poorly, so we plan a liner or a power-vent water heater in the same quote. Keeping an 80% furnace in the chimney is possible, but only if the flue passes inspection first.
In the 1970s and 1980s split-entries toward Battle Creek, the swap is simpler: a lower-level utility room and short duct runs. In townhomes, the association may have a say in where new vent pipes leave the wall. Xcel Energy supplies Maplewood's gas, and its Heating Equipment Rebates cover qualifying high-efficiency furnaces. The City of Maplewood issues the mechanical permit, and we pull it.

An installed furnace from us runs about $4,500–$9,500 in Maplewood: 80% AFUE roughly $4,500–$6,000, 96–98% AFUE roughly $6,500–$9,500. Same prices in Maplewood as in every town we serve. See the furnace replacement cost guide.
Because Xcel Energy supplies both gas and electricity in Maplewood, a furnace, AC or heat pump project runs through one utility. Xcel's gas furnace and boiler rebates, and several of its heat pump and AC rebates, point you to participating or registered contractors, so ask whether the rebate you want needs one before you choose an installer. In a 1950s or 60s house, Xcel's insulation and air-sealing rebates are worth using before new equipment is sized, since a tighter house needs less of it. Rebate programs change every year, so check the utility's current terms before you buy.

Yes, if the chimney is sound. An 80% furnace vents through the existing flue, which keeps the job simpler and lands around $4,500–$6,000 installed with us. But older clay-lined chimneys crack and flake, and a new furnace can't go into a chimney that won't draft safely. We inspect the flue first. If it needs a liner anyway, the gap to a 96% furnace narrows, and the higher-efficiency model often makes more sense.
Xcel Energy, since it supplies Maplewood's gas as well as its electricity. Xcel's Heating Equipment Rebates cover qualifying high-efficiency gas furnaces, and the program points homeowners to participating contractors, so check whether that requirement applies to the furnace you choose. Programs change every year. We list the model's efficiency rating in the quote and help with the paperwork where the program allows it.
