Typical installed cost

Sourced installed range, not a quote
$2,800 to $7,500
Furnace replacement cost has a typical installed figure of $4,800 across fuel types, within a sourced range of $2,800 to $7,500. All three sources give installed figures. The fuel-type rows show each source's full installed range, so they run wider than this typical range. Use the figure as a starting budget, not a quote. Fuel type, a permit and removal of the old furnace change the total.
By fuel type
The first row is each source's typical range for any fuel. The fuel-type rows are each source's full installed range, so they are wider than the any-fuel row. Fixr's type tables are nearly identical to Angi's, so the two are not fully independent. HomeGuide gives two different gas ranges; its fuel table is used here.
| Fuel type | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Any fuel type, typical range | $2,800 | $4,800 | $7,500 |
| Natural gas | $3,800 | $6,900 | $10,000 |
| Electric | $2,000 | $4,550 | $7,000 |
| Oil | $6,700 | $8,350 | $10,000 |
| Propane | $3,700 | $8,950 | $14,200 |
Installed cost. The median rule combines the supplied ranges, and typical is the median of the source midpoints.

What adds to the price
The sources list a permit and removal of the old furnace separately. A typical permit is $775 and removal is $200. Permit figures vary widely between sources. Each item is added in full when selected; check whether a quote already includes it.
| Additional work | Typical | Range | Applies to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Permit | $775 | $50 to $1,500 | Any fuel type, typical range, Natural gas, Electric, Oil, Propane |
| Old furnace removal | $200 | $50 to $325 | Any fuel type, typical range, Natural gas, Electric, Oil, Propane |
Each item is added once when selected. Applies to lists the fuel types it can be added to, not whether your job needs it.

Estimate your replacement
Choose a fuel type, or keep the any-fuel typical range, and add a permit or removal if needed. Area level picks a part of the sourced range; it is not a local price. For other systems, see the heat pump and central air conditioner guides.

Assumptions
- Installed base: Any fuel type, typical range, no size selected.
- Average area level uses low-to-typical and typical-to-high midpoints as bounds, with the sourced typical unchanged.
- No applicable extras included.
- Extras are added in full, and sourced installed ranges are treated as not including them.
- Labor rows are informational only and are not added to installed costs.

The low and high are the medians of the published bounds. For an even set, the median is the mean of the central pair. Typical is the median of the source midpoints. Derived figures round to twenty-five-dollar steps below a thousand dollars and fifty-dollar steps at or above it, with exact halves rounded up. The estimator selects its base bounds, adds applicable extras in full and rounds the final totals.
How we calculateQuestions people ask
What is a typical furnace replacement cost?
- Across fuel types, the typical installed figure is $4,800, within $2,800 to $7,500. Angi and Fixr state averages of $4,814 and $4,800.
How much does a gas furnace cost to replace?
- The combined natural gas range is $3,800 to $10,000, with a typical figure of $6,900. This is each source's full installed range for gas, so it is wider than the any-fuel typical range.
Why are the fuel-type ranges wider than the typical range?
- The fuel-type figures are each source's full installed range, from basic to high-efficiency units. The any-fuel row uses each source's narrower typical range.
Are permits and removal included?
- Not in these figures. A permit is $50 to $1,500 and old furnace removal is $50 to $325. Ask whether a quote includes them.
Should I compare a furnace with a heat pump?
- A heat pump can heat and cool, so it may replace both a furnace and a central air conditioner. See the heat pump and central air conditioner guides on this site for their own sourced ranges.
Compare written quotes for the same fuel type and scope, rather than judging a quote against the typical figure alone. Ask whether a permit, removal and any ductwork or gas line work are included, and keep the source dates beside the comparison.
