Cost depends on how difficult it will be to access the parts of the home where new equipment needs to be installed. Prices will vary depending on whether the home has an accessible attic and basement, crawlspace or a slab foundation. A house under construction or being remodeled where the walls exposed, for example, will be less expensive than homes where walls will need to be removed and repaired to install ducts.
 
Typical costs:
  • For a home with existing ductwork, where the furnace needs to be replaced, expect to pay between $7000-$7500.
  • For a house under construction or being remodeled where walls are exposed, where an entirely new system including new ducts need to be installed, prices generally range between $11,000 and $13,000.
  • Prices may be less if labor costs in your area of the country are lower than average.
What should be included:
  • Natural gas powered furnace, basic thermostat, disposal of old furnace, labor associated with installation, air ducts, registers (adjustable grill through which air is released into a room), and exhaust venting for the furnace.
Additional costs:
  • Costs will also be affected by additional features.
  • Multiple zones, which allow for different parts of the home to be heated independently of each other, $1000-$2000.
  • Air cleaners, approximately $750.
  • Programmable thermostat, $200-$300.
Discounts:
  • By installing a more efficient heating system that saves energy, you may be eligible for a federal tax credit. Details of the program are available online from the: Department of Energy.
Shopping for gas central heating:
  • Try to schedule work in the spring or fall, when contractors typically have fewer emergency calls for heating or air conditioning work. This will increase the chances your job will be done as quickly as possible and improve your likelihood of getting the lowest price.
