A new furnace will definitely be an expense, but one that will actually save you money over time. The cost of running a furnace that is energy efficient is far less than running an older unit. Whether your new furnace is electric or gas, you will save on your energy bills each month. This, alone is worth the cost of a new unit, especially when you multiply it out over time to really see what you are saving. So how do you go about getting the best price quotes on your new furnace?
Start by looking at all the heating specialists in your area. There will undoubtedly be several companies who can sell you the furnace and send someone out to install it for a relatively reasonable price. The actually cost of the unit will depend on the specific one you choose, but as a general rule, the higher end units can range in price from $1,500 to $3,500. If you are in the market for a new furnace, you should plan to spend somewhere between this amount. Obviously, the roe energy efficient the furnace is, the more it will cost, but the more it will also save. Look for the energy efficiency rating on the furnace to see how far ahead it will put you.
Make a list of all the companies in your area. It wouldn't hurt to already have an idea of the type of furnace you want so you can ask specific questions upon calling each one. If you have no idea what you are looking for, ask what your options are and how you can learn more about them. The more you know the easier it will be to make a decision.
Talk to each company about the installation costs. You should be able to receive an estimate before actually having the unit installed. This will help you decide who will be doing it for you.
Ask about a warranty. This is very important and can literally make or break the deal. You want a warranty in case anything goes wrong with the unit after it is installed. You can also renew that warranty when it has expired to ensure your service will continue.
Place quality over quantity. You want a good price, but you also want someone you trust to do the job well.
Make a list of those companies you are considering. Ask others in your neighborhood or whom you know if they have ever used these companies. If you find people who have, and you very likely will, find out their opinions of the service they received and overall customer satisfaction. If a particular company comes highly recommended, chances are a lot of people are happy with the service.
Ask your final questions before making a decision. While this entire process may seem a bit lengthy, it will be well worth it in the end. Sure the new furnace will cost you, but it doesn't have to be overly expensive. Do your homework and you'll come out ahead every time.
