Similar to any utility system, you’ll want to consider anything that impacts the total cost of a new furnace. These factors are often:

• Size of the Furnace: Larger and multistory homes should install a more powerful furnace to adequately heat the entire property. A skilled technician understands how to size your furnace according to your specific heating needs.
• Total energy use: Highly efficient furnaces can more precisely heat your space, reducing energy use without sacrificing comfort. Higher performance can also mean higher cost, but lower energy use means savings on your monthly bills. You’ll love how much that can add up to!
• Additional Features: Furnaces with newer features like compatibility with smart thermostats are generally a little more expensive up front. But it’s also true, however, that such features can make managing your HVAC system much simpler.

The most important thing is that getting a new heating system is not just about the up-front cost – considering lifetime costs is just as important. Finally, you can’t wait until the furnace you currently have is on its last leg. Proper timing of furnace replacement ensures you don’t pay unnecessary repair costs for the original.
