If your furnace isn’t keeping your Maryland home warm enough or has stopped working altogether, it might be time to think about a replacement. But how much is a new furnace, and what does installation cost?
While replacing your furnace can seem expensive, it can also save you money over time. New furnaces are more energy efficient, which lowers your heating bills. Here’s how much you can expect to pay for a new furnace or heating system in Maryland.
The total furnace replacement cost can vary depending on several factors, such as:
On average, the cost of a new furnace and installation can range between $4,000 and $8,000. High-efficiency models may cost $10,000 or more.
You could also replace your furnace with a different kind of HVAC system:
Electric ducted heat pumps offer both heating AND cooling in a single system. They connect to your home’s central ductwork just like a forced-air furnace. They are especially energy efficient in Maryland’s moderate climate.
Cost: A standard air source ducted heat pump costs between $6,000 and $10,000. They also tend to qualify for higher rebates and incentives.
Mini-split systems are a type of heat pump designed to heat and cool individual rooms. They’re efficient and eliminate the need for ductwork.
Cost: Installing a mini-split system ranges from $2,000 to $5,000 per zone, depending on the size and number of units required.
