The phrase “new furnace installation cost” is one of the most-searched topics among homeowners planning upgrades or new builds. CountBricks condenses decades of residential construction know-how and cutting-edge AI estimating into this clear, actionable guide. You will learn what drives furnace pricing, how to budget accurately, and why CountBricks is the preferred partner for stress-free installs.
• A furnace typically accounts for 40 – 60 % of a home’s mechanical budget
• Overspending on equipment can starve funds for finishes, while under-budgeting risks cold rooms and callbacks
• Utility rebates, local code changes, and supply-chain swings can shift pricing weekly
• CountBricks AI pulls live materials and labor rates, then updates your estimate in real time—even during a voice call

A furnace is only as good as its compliance paperwork. CountBricks automatically inserts local energy-code references in your quote and flags available utility rebates. For California customers, Title 24 calculations are exported in a single click, shaving days off permit turnaround.
The cheapest furnace may not deliver the lowest total cost of ownership. High-efficiency units trim utility bills and often qualify for larger rebates. CountBricks dashboards project 5-, 10-, and 15-year operating costs, letting you compare scenarios before making a choice.
• Estimate-Only: Perfect for DIY homeowners who need verified numbers
• Estimate + Procure: We source equipment at wholesaler pricing and coordinate delivery
• Turnkey Install: A vetted CountBricks contractor executes the full scope, backed by our two-year workmanship warranty
• Request a manual J load calculation; oversizing is the silent budget killer
• Bundle furnace and AC change-outs to share labor and streamline rebates
• Ask for sealed duct testing—leaks can waste 20 % of system output
• Plan thermostat location early; drywall patches add needless cost later
• Schedule installs in shoulder seasons (spring, fall) to tap off-peak labor rates

When the Ramirez family purchased a 1960s ranch in San Jose’s Willow Glen neighborhood, their inspection revealed a 25-year-old furnace running at barely 70 % efficiency. Comfort complaints and climbing gas bills pushed the upgrade to the top of the renovation list, but early contractor bids ranged wildly from $5,000 to $11,000. Enter CountBricks.
• The homeowners uploaded their existing floor plan through CountBricks.com/blueprint-takeoffs.
• During a 12-minute voice session, a CountBricks estimator collected occupancy patterns, preferred smart-home integrations, and attic access notes.
• Our platform generated three side-by-side options—good, better, best—each with projected 10-year operating costs.
The Ramirezes selected a 96 %-AFUE two-stage furnace priced at $6,850 installed, including a smart thermostat and duct sealing. CountBricks locked supplier pricing, handled the Title 24 documentation, and scheduled installation during an off-peak week, trimming labor by 8 %. Final inspection passed on the first visit, and post-install blower-door testing confirmed a 27 % improvement in home efficiency.
1. Transparent line items empower smarter choices—no hidden “miscellaneous” costs.
2. Real-time materials pricing protects you from sudden market spikes.
3. Bundling services (in this case, duct sealing) often yields better utility rebates.
