Furnace Replacement in Shoreview, MN
Furnace replacement in Shoreview costs $4,500–$9,500 installed, with a flat-rate written quote sized by a Manual J. In older north-side houses, the choice between staying on the chimney and moving to PVC comes first.
Furnace replacements in Shoreview homes
Most Shoreview replacements are a house's second or third furnace, and venting is the first decision. A house still running an 80% furnace in a masonry chimney can stay 80% with a properly sized liner, or move to a 96–98% unit with PVC out through the rim joist, which leaves the water heater needing its own vent solution. On a lake-facing house we pick the exit wall with winter drifts in mind, not only the shortest run.
Sizing matters more than it looks. Houses that have had windows, siding or attic insulation redone since they were built often need less furnace than the old nameplate says, and a Manual J shows how much less. In townhome associations, cabinet height, service clearance and any association rules about new wall vents shape the choice of model. A Shoreview furnace replacement normally needs a city mechanical permit, which appears as its own line on the quote.

Furnace replacement in Shoreview: questions
Should our Shoreview townhome get an 80% or a 96% furnace?
It depends on how the unit can vent. A 96% furnace needs two PVC pipes through an outside wall or the roof, and an attached unit may have only one usable wall, with the association's approval required. An 80% furnace needs a sound flue, which in an older building may mean a new liner. When both routes work, the 96% model costs more up front, qualifies for Xcel's high-efficiency furnace rebate and uses less gas each winter.
We plan to sell our Shoreview house in a few years. Which furnace makes sense?
Usually the one that keeps the venting simple. If the water heater shares a sound chimney, an 80% furnace at about $4,500–$6,000 installed may be enough, though the chimney still needs checking. If the flue is failing or the house already has PVC venting, a 96–98% furnace at about $6,500–$9,500 is the better buy. Buyers' inspectors look at age, venting and the permit record, so keep the paperwork.
