How Much Does It Cost to Install A Gas Furnace?
Gas furnace installation prices can range between approximately $3,950 and $9,750, with an average price of $5,400 (plus tax) for new equipment plus materials and labour.
The exact cost of your gas furnace installation will depend on a variety of factors unique to your home, such as square footage, exterior climate and energy efficiency needs. During your free consultation, our qualified HVAC Installers will determine a range of gas furnace options best suited to your needs and budget.
Please visit our Gas Furnace Installation Cost Guide, a useful and detailed resource to help you learn more about gas furnace installation costs.
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.
What Size Furnace Do I Need For My Home?
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.

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. Either way, doing so may be worthwhile as it could reduce the amount of disruption to your home while 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 in order to be done 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 working with electrical wiring. Other professional know-how, such as understanding the correct sizing of a furnace for a home and matching ductwork, are key requirements for a successful furnace installation.
