A new furnace for a Rogers home costs $4,500–$9,500 installed with us, roughly $4,500–$6,000 at 80% AFUE and $6,500–$9,500 at 96–98%. Builder-era furnaces here were often sized by square footage, so we run a Manual J before quoting, and the price stays written and flat-rate.
Replacing an original 1990s or 2000s furnace in Rogers usually means swapping one condensing furnace for another, which sounds simple until the venting gets checked. The existing PVC may be 2-inch where the new furnace wants 3-inch for its size and run length, and older terminations may not meet the new manufacturer's instructions. In the two-stories, a variable-speed blower is worth pricing, because it runs long, quiet cycles that help even out the upstairs and main floor.
If the air conditioner is just as old, replacing both together keeps the coil and furnace matched. For gas furnaces, CenterPoint Energy's rebates cover high-efficiency models and let you choose your dealer. Out on the former Hassan side, propane furnaces don't qualify for CenterPoint's gas rebates, and electric service may be Wright-Hennepin rather than Xcel Energy, which matters if you add a heat pump. A dual-fuel setup can cut propane use noticeably. We pull the city's mechanical permit.

An installed furnace from us runs about $4,500–$9,500 in Rogers: 80% AFUE roughly $4,500–$6,000, 96–98% AFUE roughly $6,500–$9,500. Same prices in Rogers as in every town we serve. See the furnace replacement cost guide.
Gas furnace rebates in Rogers come from CenterPoint Energy: high-efficiency furnaces, boilers and thermostats, with any dealer you pick. On the electric side, Xcel Energy and Wright-Hennepin Cooperative Electric both serve the city, depending on the address. Xcel's heat pump and cooling rebates often require a registered contractor, so ask. Wright-Hennepin has its own air-source, ductless and dual-fuel heat pump rebates, and some require enrolling in its Energy-Saving Program. On propane acreage, the dual-fuel option is usually the one worth pricing. Rebate programs change every year, so check the utility's current terms before you buy.

Sometimes. Each furnace's installation manual sets the pipe diameter and maximum length for its size, counting every elbow. Builder installs from the 1990s and 2000s often used 2-inch pipe that a new furnace may not allow for the same run, and older terminations may not match current instructions. The old pipe is also glued to the old furnace, so at least the connections get redone. We measure the run before quoting.
Partly. A variable-speed furnace can run its blower at low speed for long stretches, which mixes air between floors and narrows the gap. The bigger fixes are usually on the duct side: adding or enlarging an upstairs return, setting balancing dampers for summer and winter, or zoning the floors. A new furnace sized by Manual J helps too, because an oversized one cycles off before the upstairs catches up.
