Signs It's Time to Replace Your Furnace
If you notice several of these furnace replacement signs, it usually means a new system is the smarter money decision, so it’s worth a free estimate before you spend more on repairs:
- The furnace is 15 to 20 years old or older
- A technician found a cracked heat exchanger, which is a carbon monoxide risk and not safe to keep running
- Repairs are getting more frequent, or the last one was a big one
- A needed repair would cost more than about half the price of a new furnace
- The burner flame is yellow or flickering instead of a steady blue
- Gas bills keep climbing with no change in how you heat the house
- Some rooms never get warm no matter where you set the thermostat
What's Included in Your Furnace Installation
A furnace that’s sized and installed right heats evenly, runs safely, and costs less for the next 15 to 20 years. Every installation we do follows the same five steps:
- In-home load calculation — we measure your home and run a Manual J load calculation, so the furnace is sized to your house and you never pay for capacity you don’t need.
- Safe removal and haul-away — we shut off and disconnect the gas safely, remove your old furnace, and haul it away.
- Right-sized install — your new high-efficiency furnace, installed by NATE-certified technicians with the gas line and venting brought up to code.
- Permit and Title 24 compliance — we pull the permit, seal and verify the ductwork, and install to California’s energy code so the system passes inspection.
- Combustion test & walkthrough — we test combustion, run a carbon monoxide check, set the thermostat, and show you how everything works before we leave.

What Does a New Furnace Cost?
In the Central Valley, a standard 80% AFUE single-stage furnace replacement typically runs $4,000 to $6,000 installed. A high-efficiency 90–98% AFUE two-stage or variable-speed furnace generally runs $6,000 to $10,000 installed, and a dual-fuel heat-pump-and-furnace system runs $10,000 to $16,000 installed. Several things move that number: the size of the furnace, its AFUE efficiency, the condition of your ductwork, whether the gas line needs work, and the venting.
That’s why we don’t quote a new furnace over the phone. We come to your home, measure it, check the ductwork and venting, and give you a free in-home estimate with honest options. Qualifying homeowners can also spread the cost with GoGreen Home financing.
And because we stand behind the work, every new installation is backed by our Triple Trust Parts, Labor and Workmanship Guarantee, a one-year money-back guarantee, and a full 10-year parts and labor warranty on most systems.

Furnace Installation Built for Central Valley Winters
Central Valley winters are mild compared to most of the country: damp Tule fog mornings in the 30s and the occasional hard freeze, rather than months of deep cold. Because your furnace runs far fewer hours than your AC does, a right-sized 80% furnace is a sound choice for many homes here, and the payback on an ultra-high-efficiency furnace is longer than it would be in a cold-winter state. We’ll tell you honestly what’s best for your home, instead of selling you the most expensive box.
California’s Title 24 energy code governs furnace changeouts, and we run a Manual J load calculation on every install so the furnace fits your home, an oversized one short-cycles and wears out early, and an undersized one can’t keep up on the coldest mornings. We pull the permit, install to code, bring the gas line and venting up to standard, and can point you to any current PG&E rebates your new furnace qualifies for. From our Turlock shop, we install new furnaces across Modesto, Turlock, Merced, Manteca, Ceres, Oakdale, Ripon, Riverbank, Patterson, and Los Banos.

Furnace Installation FAQs
How much does a new furnace cost in the Central Valley?
A standard 80% AFUE furnace replacement typically runs $4,000 to $6,000 installed, a high-efficiency 90–98% AFUE furnace runs $6,000 to $10,000, and a dual-fuel heat-pump-and-furnace system runs $10,000 to $16,000, depending on the furnace size, efficiency, your ductwork, the gas line, and the venting. The only accurate number is one based on your home, so we provide a free in-home estimate.
How long does a furnace installation take?
Most straightforward furnace replacements are finished in a single day. Jobs that involve new venting for a high-efficiency furnace, ductwork, gas-line work, or a dual-fuel system can take longer, and we’ll give you the timeline up front when we quote the work.
Is a high-efficiency furnace worth it in the Central Valley?
A right-sized 80% AFUE furnace is a sound choice for many Central Valley homes, because our mild winters mean a furnace runs far fewer hours than an AC, so the payback on a 90–98% AFUE model is longer than it would be in a cold-winter state. If you heat a lot or want quieter, more even heat, the step-up makes sense. We size the recommendation to how you actually use your heat, and we’ll tell you honestly which way it leans.
Should I Repair or Replace My Furnace?
If your furnace is 15 to 20 years old or older, a technician has found a cracked heat exchanger, repairs are getting frequent or expensive, or one repair would cost more than about half the price of a new furnace, replacement is usually the smarter and safer move. If it’s newer and the fix is minor, we’ll tell you to repair it. See our heating repair services for more.
