Furnace Replacement in Maplewood, MN
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. In north-end ramblers, a 96–98% furnace means PVC venting and a plan for the water heater left in the chimney.
Furnace replacements in Maplewood homes
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, even for homes with a Saint Paul mailing address.

What affects the price of a new furnace in Maplewood?
What moves the quote in Maplewood: 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.
Are there rebates for a new furnace in Maplewood?
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, can require a registered contractor, so ask whether the rebate you want does before you choose an installer. Rebate programs change every year, so check the utility's current terms before you buy.

Furnace replacement in Maplewood: questions
Can we keep an 80% furnace in our Maplewood rambler's chimney?
Yes, if the chimney is sound. An 80% furnace vents through the existing flue, which keeps the job simpler and nearer the low end of our range. 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.
Our Maplewood townhome association restricts where vent pipes can leave the wall. What are the options?
Check the association rules first, because some limit the wall or height. If the front wall is off limits, a rear wall or a roof termination may meet both the manufacturer's clearances and the association's rules. When no route works, an 80% furnace on a lined chimney is the fallback. We lay out the options before quoting so the written price matches what the association allows.
