Furnace replacement calls in Savage homes
Most Savage homes built during the boom already have a condensing furnace, so a replacement is largely about fit and routing. The new furnace's manual decides whether the old PVC pipe size and length can stay. With a finished basement, the condensate route gets a fresh look: a gravity drain to a floor drain is better than a pump when the layout allows, and when a pump is needed, it should have an overflow switch wired to shut the system down.
Townhome associations often have a say in anything that changes the outside of the building, including a new PVC termination location, so reusing the existing wall penetration keeps things simple. On hillside lots, a termination that keeps getting buried can move with the new furnace. Xcel Energy or Minnesota Valley Electric Cooperative supplies the electricity depending on the address, which only matters if you add a heat pump alongside the furnace. Permits are part of the job.

How much does a new furnace cost in Savage?
An installed furnace from us runs about $4,500–$9,500 in Savage: 80% AFUE roughly $4,500–$6,000, 96–98% AFUE roughly $6,500–$9,500. Same prices in Savage as in every town we serve. See the furnace replacement cost guide.
Are there rebates for a new furnace in Savage?
Every Savage home with gas service is a CenterPoint Energy customer, so furnace, boiler and thermostat rebates follow CenterPoint's rules: any dealer, filed in the same calendar year as the install. Electric programs split by address. Minnesota Valley Electric Cooperative members should know its AC rebate requires the unit to be on the co-op's load-control program and its heat pump rebate requires a metered off-peak connection, both of which change the wiring. Xcel customers should ask whether a rebate needs a registered contractor. Rebate programs change every year, so check the utility's current terms before you buy.

Furnace replacement in Savage: questions
Can a new furnace in our Savage house get rid of the condensate pump?
Sometimes. If a floor drain, laundry standpipe or sump is within reach and lower than the furnace's drain outlet, the condensate can run there by gravity. Where the basement is finished, that often means a short run inside a wall or soffit. When the drain is across the room or behind finished space, a pump is still the practical answer, and we install it with a safety switch that shuts the furnace off before it overflows.
Does CenterPoint's heat pump rebate apply if we add one with our new Savage furnace?
It can. CenterPoint Energy's ducted air-source heat pump rebate applies only when the heat pump is paired with a gas furnace as a dual-fuel system, which is exactly this setup. The electric side is separate: Xcel Energy or Minnesota Valley Electric Cooperative may have their own heat pump programs, and some utility rebates require a registered contractor. Check both utilities' current rules before you sign.
