Furnace Installation & Replacement in Boise
A new furnace is a 15–20 year decision. We size it right, install it clean, and make sure you only pay for the efficiency you'll actually use.
Replacing a furnace in the Treasure Valley isn't one-size-fits-all. A 1910 North End craftsman with original gravity-heat bones has completely different needs than a two-story in a new Kuna subdivision. We run a proper Manual J load calculation on your home — not a guess based on the old unit's size — because an oversized furnace short-cycles, wears out early, and leaves rooms unevenly heated.
We'll walk you through the efficiency tradeoff honestly: with Intermountain Gas rates and Boise's real winter, a 96% AFUE high-efficiency furnace pays back faster here than in milder climates — especially in larger two-story homes. Either way, you'll get a written, itemized quote — equipment, labor, permits, and haul-away — before we schedule anything.
What We See Most in Boise
- Your furnace is 15+ years old and repairs are stacking up
- Cracked heat exchanger — a carbon monoxide risk, not a repair item
- Heating bills climbing every winter despite tune-ups
- Some rooms never get warm no matter how long it runs
- Furnace is oversized and short-cycles constantly
- You're switching from electric resistance heat to natural gas to cut bills
What a New Furnace Costs in the Treasure Valley
| Service | Typical Boise Price |
|---|---|
| 80% AFUE gas furnace installed (typical ranch) | $3,900 – $5,900 |
| 96% AFUE high-efficiency installed | $5,300 – $7,800 |
| Two-stage / variable-speed premium systems | $6,800 – $9,800 |
| Electric furnace / air handler installed | $2,900 – $4,600 |
| Ductwork modifications (if needed) | $500 – $2,500 |
Every install quote includes removal and disposal of the old unit, new gas flex connector and shutoff as needed, thermostat wiring check, startup testing, and manufacturer warranty registration. Permits pulled where required — Boise, Meridian, Nampa, and Ada/Canyon County each have their own process.

Furnace Installation & Replacement Questions
How long does a furnace installation take?
A straight replacement usually takes 4–8 hours — we're typically done in one day, including haul-away of the old unit. If ductwork modifications or a flue liner are needed (common in older North End homes), it can run into a second day.
Is a high-efficiency furnace worth it in Boise?
More often here than in milder climates. With weeks of sub-freezing nights, a 96% unit in a typical 2,000 sq ft home can save $250–$400 a year over an 80% unit at current Intermountain Gas rates. We'll run the numbers for your actual house.
Do you haul away the old furnace?
Yes — removal, disposal, and a full cleanup of the work area are included in every install quote.
What size furnace does my home need?
We calculate it with a Manual J load calculation based on your square footage, insulation, windows, and orientation. Boise's older homes often have undersized returns and leaky ducts that affect sizing too — we check the whole system.
Are there rebates or tax credits for furnaces?
High-efficiency heat pumps qualify for the 30% federal 25C credit up to $2,000, and Idaho Power periodically offers rebates on efficient equipment. We'll flag anything current when we quote.
