How Much Does A New Furnace Cost?
In Canada, the average cost to supply and install a new furnace ranges between $5,500 - $9,000, with an average installation cost of $7,500. Figures include labour and exclude applicable taxes.
During your free consultation with our furnace installers, they will also consider some factors unique to your needs and project and may make additional recommendations to be included in your cost estimate:
◼ Installation Complexity
Our furnace installers will consider the condition of your ductwork and may recommend repairs, upgrades or modifications. Other factors, such as the layout and square footage of your home, may also affect your furnace installation cost.
◼ Complementary Services & Accessories
The installers may recommend additional equipment, such as a smart thermostat, humidifier or furnace air filter, to complement and improve your new furnace’s performance and efficiency. This additional equipment will be factored into your overall furnace installation cost.
What Size Furnace Do I Need For My Home?
Our experienced Home Depot Installers will assess the unique features of your home – from layout and square footage to number of windows, efficiency needs, sun exposure and more – to determine the right size furnace to install in your home.
Finding the Right System For You
The Home Depot’s furnace installers understand that the best equipment for your home isn’t the biggest or most powerful, but rather the one that’s best matched to the unique energy and heating demands of your home.
The following chart gives you an idea of how gas furnace output (in BTU/hr) might match up with a home’s square footage, independent of other determining factors. Please note as well that, as a general rule, the colder the climate you live in, the more BTU your furnace will need in order to heat your home effectively. This means a 2,000 square-foot home in Winnipeg might need a 120,000 BTU gas furnace, while that same house in Vancouver or Victoria might only need one with 60,000 BTU.
Size of Your Home (Square Feet) |
Approximate Gas Furnace Output range (BTU/hr) |
|---|---|
1,000 |
30,000-60,000 |
1,200 |
37,500-75,000 |
1,500 |
45,000-90,000 |
1,800 |
55,000-110,000 |
2,000 |
60,000-120,000 |
2,200 |
65,000-130,000 |
2,500 |
75,000-150,000 |
2,800 |
85,000-170,000 |
3,000 |
90,000-180,000 |
For illustrative purposes only. Figures represent gas furnace output ranges that apply to all regions of Canada. Square footage is one of a range of factors your HVAC Installer will consider when determining the correct size for your new gas furnace.
When Should I Choose A Furnace Or A Heat Pump?
Choosing between a furnace and a heat pump may come down to concerns about purchase costs, energy efficiency and your preferred energy source.
◼ Choose a furnace if:
- You want to replace your existing furnace with an energy-efficient new system;
- You want a lower up-front cost for your HVAC replacement;
- You live in a region with cold winters and/or where gas heating is your most reliable option.
◼ Choose a heat pump if:
- You want a single system that delivers both heating and cooling;
- You want an efficient, all-electric home heating alternative to fossil fuels;
- You live in a region with mild to moderate winters where temperatures rarely go below -25 ºC.
Is A Heat Pump Or A Furnace More Expensive?
Electric and gas furnaces are generally cheaper than heat pumps to purchase and install; however, heat pumps efficiently provide both heating and cooling in a single system and operate on electricity, which some homeowners may prefer over a gas furnace.
During your free consultation our experienced HVAC technicians will provide personalized recommendations on the best heating and cooling solution for your needs.
Rebates are currently available in some provinces for heat pumps to help manage the cost of your new system. Ask your installer to find out more.
Frequently Asked Questions
Product Questions:
-
- Choosing between a furnace and a heat pump may come down to concerns about energy efficiency versus purchase cost. Furnaces are generally cheaper to install, but heat pumps may save you more money on energy costs over time.
- During your free consultation our experienced HVAC technicians will provide personalized recommendations on the best heating and cooling system for your needs
-
Choosing between a gas or electric furnace mainly depends on whether your home is set up for gas or electric heating, or if you have a preference for one or the other. Your choice may also depend on which energy source is more affordable in your area.
-
- Each has its own benefits over the other. Gas furnaces tend to be more energy efficient than electric furnaces and are also considered to be better suited to colder climates. Gas furnaces are often cheaper to operate than electric furnaces, too.
- Electric furnaces are cheaper and easier to install than gas furnaces and are especially ideal for places without a consistent supply of propane or natural gas; however, they are generally more expensive and less efficient to operate, especially in colder climate regions.
-
- Furnace repair is preferable to furnace replacement depending on the age of the unit, warranty status and the estimated cost of the repair itself relative to the cost of replacement.
- In other words, repairs make the most sense for a furnace that is relatively new, still under warranty and otherwise functioning well. If you have an aging furnace that needs significant repairs, especially if it is no longer under warranty, it’s probably time to consider furnace replacement.
-
While furnaces tend to last about 15 years on average, it’s common for some furnaces to need replacement at 10 years and others (with regular maintenance) to continue working for as long as 20 years.
-
- An aging gas furnace is susceptible to wear and tear on key components over time. If a gas furnace’s heat exchanger cracks, it could leak deadly carbon monoxide into your home.
- Fortunately, annual maintenance of your furnace can identify and address any potential issues before they get worse.
Installation Questions:
-
- Most new furnace installations can be completed within the same day. Some simple furnace replacement jobs can be completed in as little as 4 hours, while more complicated furnace installations may take up to 10 hours to complete.
- How long your furnace installation job takes will depend on the unique characteristics of your home and the demands of your furnace installation project.
-
- Whether replacing both your furnace and air conditioner at the same time saves money will depend on the unique circumstances surrounding your project. Often, a key advantage to installing both systems in the same visit is that it saves the installers time and travel. It also reduces the overall amount of disruption to your home while your AC and furnace installation work is being carried out.
- During your free consultation, ask your installer whether any cost savings might be had by replacing both units together.
-
- Furnace installation requires the experience, knowledge, and skill of a licensed HVAC technician to be completed safely and properly.
- We strongly advise against installing your own furnace. Installing a gas furnace involves work with natural gas lines, and both gas and electric furnace installations require expert electrical work. Hiring a licensed technician, who understands how to determine the correct sizing of a furnace for a home and matching ductwork, is essential for a successful furnace installation.
