A furnace replacement is one of the largest home improvement investments a Vancouver homeowner makes. Understanding the full cost — equipment, installation, permits, and available rebates — ensures you budget accurately and don't overpay. Here's our comprehensive 2025 furnace replacement pricing guide.
We perform a detailed assessment of your home: square footage, insulation levels, window efficiency, ceiling height, and existing ductwork condition. Using Manual J calculations, we determine the exact BTU output needed — avoiding both undersizing (won't heat adequately) and oversizing (wastes energy and short-cycles).
We present furnace options at three tiers: Good (80-92% AFUE, single-stage, $3,500-$5,000 installed), Better (95-96% AFUE, two-stage, $5,000-$7,000), and Best (97-98% AFUE, modulating with variable-speed blower, $7,000-$10,000). Each tier includes equipment, labor, permits, and disposal.
Our crew handles everything: old furnace removal, new furnace installation, gas and electrical connections, venting modifications, thermostat setup, and system commissioning. Standard replacements take 4-8 hours. We clean the work area completely — you won't know we were there except for the new equipment.
We register your equipment warranty, provide all documentation for CleanBC and FortisBC rebates, and schedule a free follow-up visit after 30 days to verify everything is performing optimally. You'll have direct contact with your installation supervisor for any questions.
80% AFUE: $3,500-$5,000. 92-95% AFUE: $5,000-$7,000. 96-98% AFUE: $7,000-$10,000. Higher AFUE means lower gas bills — the most efficient models cut annual heating costs by 20-30% compared to an aging 80% unit. The premium for high efficiency typically pays back in 3-7 years.
Straight replacement (same type, same location): standard pricing. Adding new venting for a high-efficiency furnace: $500-$1,500. Gas line upgrades for higher-BTU furnace: $300-$800. Electrical work for variable-speed blower: $200-$500. Ductwork modifications: $500-$2,500.
BC gas permit: $150-$250. Technical Safety BC inspection: included in our service. Asbestos abatement (if present in old ductwork): $500-$2,000+. We manage the entire permitting and inspection process — you don't need to contact any government agency.
FortisBC: up to $1,000 for qualifying high-efficiency gas furnaces. CleanBC: additional rebates for efficiency upgrades. Federal Greener Homes: up to $5,000 for comprehensive home energy retrofits (may include furnace as part of a package). We provide all rebate application documentation.
A typical mid-range 95-96% AFUE two-stage gas furnace replacement averages $5,500-$7,500 installed in Metro Vancouver. This includes equipment, installation labor, permits, old furnace removal, and a new programmable thermostat.
Upgrading from an 80% AFUE furnace to a 96% AFUE model saves approximately 16% on your gas heating bill. For a typical Vancouver home spending $600/year on heating, that's about $96/year — or $1,440 over a 15-year lifespan. The savings increase if gas prices rise.
If both are over 12-15 years old, yes. Replacing both together saves on labor (the systems share the blower and controls) and ensures compatibility. A matched system operates more efficiently. Combined furnace+AC replacement costs $8,000-$14,000 installed.
15-20 years with proper annual maintenance. After 15 years, efficiency declines, repair frequency increases, and parts availability becomes an issue. A furnace over 18 years old operating below 80% efficiency should be replaced proactively rather than waiting for failure.
Yes. We offer flexible financing with competitive rates, including 12-month same-as-cash options and extended terms up to 10 years. Financing applications are quick and decisions are typically provided within minutes. Monthly payments can be as low as $50-$100 depending on the system and term.
