Furnace Replacement in Prescott, WI
Prescott homes on St. Croix Gas can replace a furnace for $4,500–$9,500 installed with us, depending mostly on 80% or 96–98% AFUE and the venting. Each quote is written, flat-rate and sized by Manual J. Focus on Energy is Wisconsin's statewide efficiency program, and we check its current offers when we quote.
Furnace replacement calls 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, and we confirm permit and inspection requirements with the local inspector before scheduling. 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.

How much does a new furnace cost in Prescott?
An installed furnace from us runs about $4,500–$9,500 in Prescott: 80% AFUE roughly $4,500–$6,000, 96–98% AFUE roughly $6,500–$9,500. Same prices in Prescott as in every town we serve. 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. Electric-side incentives depend on which provider serves your address; check that yours takes part in Focus on Energy and whether it adds programs of its own. Minnesota utility rebates don't apply here. Focus on Energy's income-qualified HEAR rebates need an IRA Registered Contractor, so ask about that before counting on one. 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?
It's 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.
