Furnace Replacement in Medina, MN
New furnaces in Medina cost $4,500–$9,500 installed with us, depending mainly on efficiency and venting. Larger Medina homes often have two furnaces, and each gets its own Manual J sizing in a written, flat-rate quote. CenterPoint Energy supplies gas in Hamel and most newer developments, while outlying acreage may run on propane.
Furnace replacement calls in Medina homes
Replacing a furnace in a large Medina home is often a two-system decision. When both furnaces are the same age, doing them together saves a second round of setup; when one has plenty of life left, we'll say so. Each furnace gets its own Manual J, because a lower level and the floors above it lose heat very differently. In bigger, open houses with tall rooms, a modulating or two-stage furnace earns its price by running long and low instead of cycling hard.
Hamel's older houses and the original farmhouses are simpler, but venting needs a look: an 80% furnace sharing a chimney with the water heater, or a condensing furnace that needs a new PVC route. In Hamel and most newer areas the gas is CenterPoint Energy's, and CenterPoint lets you use the heating dealer of your choice for its furnace rebates. Acreage on propane falls outside those rebates but gains the most from a 96–98% furnace. The mechanical permit is in every quote.

How much does a new furnace cost in Medina?
An installed furnace from us runs about $4,500–$9,500 in Medina: 80% AFUE roughly $4,500–$6,000, 96–98% AFUE roughly $6,500–$9,500. Same prices in Medina as in every town we serve. See the furnace replacement cost guide.
Are there rebates for a new furnace in Medina?
Gas-side rebates in Hamel and the newer neighborhoods come from CenterPoint Energy, which covers high-efficiency furnaces, boilers and smart thermostats with the dealer of your choice. Electric programs depend on the parcel. Xcel Energy has heat pump and cooling rebates, and Wright-Hennepin Cooperative Electric has its own heat pump, ductless and dual-fuel rebates, some tied to its Energy-Saving Program. Either utility may require a registered or Quality Installation contractor for certain rebates, so ask before you buy. Propane homes miss the gas rebates. Rebate programs change every year, so check the utility's current terms before you buy.

Furnace replacement in Medina: questions
Is a modulating furnace worth it in our Medina custom home?
In a large custom home, often yes. A modulating furnace adjusts its fire in small steps, so on a mild day it runs at a fraction of full output and holds a big, open house steady instead of overshooting. Larger homes with tall rooms and big windows see the widest swings in heat demand, and that's where modulation pays off. Expect it near the top of our 96–98% range, roughly $6,500–$9,500 installed.
Our Medina acreage is on propane. Is there any rebate for a new furnace?
Not from CenterPoint, whose heating rebates are for its own gas customers. Check with your electric utility, Xcel Energy or Wright-Hennepin depending on your parcel, since electric programs sometimes cover the heat pump half of a dual-fuel system. Without a gas rebate, the case for a 96–98% furnace rests on fuel savings, and on propane those savings pile up faster than on natural gas.
