Furnace Replacement in Prescott, WI

Furnace replacements in Prescott homes
Venting drives Prescott furnace replacements. On bluff and hillside lots, a condensing furnace's PVC terminations have to go where wind won't push exhaust back into the intake or trip the pressure switch, and where drifting snow won't bury them. A concentric vent or a roof termination sometimes works better than two pipes through a windward wall. In the 1800s houses above the riverfront, a switch to PVC leaves the water heater alone in an old masonry chimney that may need a liner.
Sizing old houses takes a real Manual J. Some have been insulated and updated and others haven't, and the old furnace may have been oversized for either. Wisconsin rules apply, so ask the local inspector what a replacement needs, and ask us how any permit shows on your quote. St. Croix Gas is the gas utility, and Focus on Energy is the statewide program; for its income-qualified Home Energy Rebates, most measures need an IRA Registered Contractor, so check that before you buy.

What affects the price of a new furnace in Prescott?
By efficiency: 80% AFUE roughly $4,500–$6,000; 96–98% AFUE roughly $6,500–$9,500. See the furnace replacement cost guide.
Are there rebates for a new furnace in Prescott?
Prescott's natural gas comes from St. Croix Gas, a Focus on Energy participating utility, so Wisconsin's statewide program is where furnace, boiler and heat pump incentives start. Ask us which rebates apply when we quote. Rebate programs change every year, so check the utility's current terms before you buy.
Furnace replacement in Prescott: questions
Can a new furnace at our Prescott home vent through the roof instead of the wall?
Often, yes. Many condensing furnaces are approved for vertical venting through the roof, with two pipes or a concentric kit. It can be the better choice on a windy bluff lot or where the side wall faces a neighbor, deck or walkway. It means a longer run and a roof penetration, which we price. The installation manual limits total pipe length and the number of elbows.
Is a heat pump a good add-on to a new furnace in Prescott?
A heat pump is worth pricing when your AC is due too. Set beside the new gas furnace, a heat pump covers summer cooling and the milder heating days, while the furnace carries the bitter ones. Whether it saves money depends on your electric rate compared with St. Croix Gas, and on Focus on Energy's current offers. Our installed heat pump range is $7,500–$14,500.
