Installing a new heating system in your home is a significant investment. Therefore, it is wise to consult with a professional and licensed HVAC contractor like PFO Heating and Air Conditioning. Our Home Comfort Advisor will assess your current HVAC system. He will also calculate the heating and cooling demands for your home and discuss your goals for home comfort. Armed with this information, he can propose the best system to fit your needs and budget.
To begin, the first consideration for a new heater is the type of fuel that is used. The most common fuels for heating are #2 fuel oil, propane, natural gas and electricity. Typically, homeowners will stick to the same type of fuel that they are currently using. However, in some cases, it might make sense to switch the fuel type at the time that the new heating system is being installed. Our Home Comfort Advisor will guide you through this process and help you make the most cost-efficient and energy-efficient decision for your home and family.

Contents
In the Mercer County, New Jersey and Bucks County, Pennsylvania, natural gas furnaces are very common. As you can imagine, there are many variables that affect the pricing of a new gas furnace installation. For example, the sizing of the furnace (BTUs and blower motor sizing) will have an impact on the cost. Additionally, the manufacturer of the unit also plays a role in the pricing.
Installed Carrier gas furnaces typically range in pricing from $3900 to $5900 for a typical home. The pricing will vary based on the sizing of the home, number of zones utilized, etc. The pricing may also increase in a house that requires ductwork additions or changes.

Average Installation Cost For Electric Heat Pump
Electric furnaces, otherwise known as heat pumps, are common in moderate climate areas like what we experience here in the mid Atlantic. This is because heat pumps only produce heat when the outdoor air temperature is above -15°F. We do see quite a bit of heat pumps and electric furnaces installed in our service area.
Just as in the case of gas furnaces, the cost of installing an electric furnace can vary greatly. Oftentimes this is based on the square footage of the home. As a general guideline, a 1500 sq. ft. home should expect to pay approximately $4500 to $7400 for a new electric furnace installed. As the size of the house increases, the electric furnace sizing also increases. Consequently, the price increases.

Other Factors That Determine the Pricing Of A New Furnace
The efficiency rating of your new furnace will dictate the price of the equipment. There are several factors to consider when selecting what type of unit to have installed. The first thing to know is that furnaces are rated by their Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE). This is an efficiency rating that allows you to compare units side-by-side.
As a general rule, mid level furnaces will have an AFUE rating between 80% and 83%. High-efficiency furnaces will be rated in the high 90% range, 95% to 96%.
Another standardized rating system is the Energy Star rating. It is important to know that the energy star ratings are dependent upon the fuel being burned. For example, a gas furnace earns the Energy Star rating when it performs with an efficiency level of 90% or more. Conversely, an oil-fired furnace earns the Energy Star rating when it operates at an efficiency level of 85% or more.
When considering which types of units to install, you will need to calculate your return on investment. This can be a little complicated therefore we have provided a step-by-step guide to help you calculate your ROI. This is a downloadable worksheet with 3 easy steps to help you determine your investment return.
