Furnace Replacement in Shoreview, MN
For a new furnace in a Shoreview home, expect $4,500–$9,500 installed with us: roughly $4,500–$6,000 for an 80% model and $6,500–$9,500 for a 96–98% condensing furnace. The price is flat and written, the size comes from a Manual J, and Xcel Energy, Shoreview's gas utility, runs rebates on high-efficiency gas furnaces.
Furnace replacement calls 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. Xcel Energy offers rebates on high-efficiency gas furnaces; some of its measures need a participating contractor, so check before counting on one. The city's mechanical permit is part of our price.

Are there rebates for a new furnace in Shoreview?
Xcel Energy supplies both utilities in Shoreview, so every rebate question on a furnace, air conditioner or heat pump goes to Xcel. Its Minnesota programs cover high-efficiency gas furnaces, central AC and cold-climate heat pumps. The heat pump rebates carry a condition: Xcel pays them through its Trade Partner Network, so confirm your installer's status before signing. For bigger projects, the city points homeowners to a Home Improvement Loan run by NeighborWorks Home Partners, which has income limits, and to the Center for Energy and Environment's lending program for energy work. Rebate programs change every year, so check the utility's current terms before you buy.

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.
