Furnace Type

While all furnaces operate at the same base, they use different fuel types to power them. Electricity, natural gas and oil are the most popular. The temperature in your area will determine the type of furnace that you choose.

Electric Furnace

Installation costs around $1600 to $6,900. This furnace is less common than a traditional gas heat system. In warmer areas of the United States, where winters tend to be mild, it’s actually a heat pump or geothermal system. An electric furnace circulates air through a number of heated coils before distributing the heated air throughout your house via ducts or vents. The size of an electric furnace is determined by how much electricity they use. Electric furnaces can be very efficient but they consume a lot of electricity.

Natural Gas Furnace

While gas furnaces can be installed for an average 00 to ,000, they can also cost up to ,000. You’ll save money by using new gas models, but you should expect to spend more upfront. High-efficiency models can cost up to 50% to 100% more than standard models.

The American Gas Association states that these furnaces are more commonly used in regions with harsh winters and cold temperatures because natural gas heat tends be warmer than heat from other sources. Natural gas produced by a forced-air system can range from 120 to 140 degrees F. This compares to an electric heat-pump, which can deliver about 85 to 95 degree Fahrenheit.

Oil Furnace

The longest-lasting oil furnaces are $6750 to $10,000 to install. They are common in the Northeast where there is a lot oil. However, they are more costly to install because oil is not cheap to import and has poor energy efficiency. You will also need to change your furnace’s oil filter more often.

However, they do offer some advantages. They are safer than gas furnaces in that they don’t emit carbon monoxide or run the risk for explosions. They last five to ten years longer than gas furnaces.

Furnace Size

The size of a furnace is measured in British thermal units (BTU), and furnaces are usually between 40,000 and 120,000 BTUs. How do you determine how large a furnace you will need? Here’s an easy equation that will help you get started. Multiply the square footage that you want to heat by 40. A 2,300-square-foot home, for example, will require at least 92,000 BTUs. If you live in a more cold area, you might want to budget for higher BTUs.

Furnace BTU	Sq. Ft.	Average Price Range
40,000 – 60,000	700 – 1,500	$2,000 – $3,000
80,000 – 100,000	1,300 – 3,000	$2,600 – $4,200
100,000 – 125,000	1,600 – 4,000	$3,000 – $4,500
125,000 – 150,000	2,000 – 5,000	$3,300 – $6,500

You should also consider the height of your ceiling, as high ceilings require more BTUs to heat. You’ll need more BTUs to heat your home if you have leaky doors or windows.

Furnace Energy Efficiency

Although they are more costly to purchase, furnaces with high efficiency ratings will save you money over the long-term. Find the cost savings by multiplying your monthly electric bill with the efficiency difference between the old furnace and the new furnace.

If you replace a 70% efficiency furnace with a 97% efficiency one, your 27% upgrade will be possible. To calculate your monthly savings, multiply this figure by your monthly bill. If your winter bill is 0 and your furnace improves efficiency by 27%, you will save every month.
