A new furnace typically costs about $2,823 to $6,888 installed, with an average near $4,800, according to 2026 data from Angi reported by NerdWallet.

Key takeaways

National data puts most installed furnace replacements between roughly $2,800 and $6,900.
High-efficiency furnaces cost more upfront and may need new PVC venting.

What is the typical cost range for a new furnace?

These figures are national ranges, not quotes for any specific Franklin County home:

Item	Typical range	Source
Installed furnace replacement, overall	About $2,823 to $6,888 (average about $4,800)	Angi 2026 data via NerdWallet
Natural gas furnace	About $3,800 to $10,000	NerdWallet
Electric furnace	About $2,000 to $7,000	NerdWallet

Most Franklin County homes heat with natural gas, so the gas furnace range is usually the more relevant comparison. Treat these numbers as a starting point for budgeting, not as a price promise.

What changes the cost of a new furnace in Franklin County?

Furnace size

A load calculation determines how much heat the home actually needs. Bigger is not better. An oversized furnace costs more, short cycles, and wears out faster.

Efficiency rating (AFUE)

Standard-efficiency furnaces vent through a metal flue and cost less upfront. High-efficiency condensing furnaces turn more fuel into heat, but they need PVC intake and exhaust pipes and a condensate drain. Switching from a standard to a high-efficiency furnace can add venting work, and if a gas water heater shared the old flue, that flue may need changes too.

Single-stage, two-stage, or variable-speed

Two-stage and variable-speed furnaces cost more but run quieter and heat more evenly, especially in multistory homes common in Hilliard, Dublin, and Westerville.

Ductwork and access

Leaky or undersized ducts add cost if they need repair. Furnaces in tight closets, attics, or crawlspaces take more labor than an open basement installation.

Permits and inspections

The City of Columbus lists replacing a furnace as work that requires a permit but not plan review. Grove City, Hilliard, Reynoldsburg, and other jurisdictions set their own rules. Permit fees are part of the total.

Timing

Replacing a furnace during a January cold snap, after a failure, can cost more than a planned replacement in early fall, and equipment choices may be limited.

Are there ways to lower the cost of a new furnace?

Plan ahead. If your furnace is aging, get an evaluation in late summer or early fall instead of waiting for a breakdown.
Check assistance programs. Ohio’s HEAP Winter Crisis Program runs from November 2, 2026, through March 31, 2027. According to the Office of the Ohio Consumers’ Counsel, it includes a separate benefit of up to $1,500 for heating unit repair or replacement for income-eligible homeowners. In Franklin County, IMPACT Community Action is a local provider.
Check utility rebates. The federal 25C tax credit for qualifying furnaces ended for equipment placed in service after December 31, 2025. Ask your gas utility about any current rebates, or use the ENERGY STAR rebate finder.
Compare written quotes. Make sure each includes the same scope, equipment, and warranty.
Consider replacing the AC at the same time if it is also aging, which can save on a second installation later.

Should you repair your furnace instead?

Repair makes sense when the furnace is in sound condition and the problem is a single part, such as a flame sensor, igniter, or inducer motor. Replacement is usually the better choice when the furnace has a cracked heat exchanger, needs repeated major repairs, or is older and inefficient. See furnace repair for common problems and furnace replacement for the full replacement process.

How do you get an accurate furnace quote in Franklin County?

Call (614) 418-6074 or book a consultation online.
Share the basics: the home’s size, the current furnace’s age and fuel type, and any comfort problems.
On-site evaluation: inspection of the furnace, venting, gas line, ductwork, and electrical, plus a load calculation.
Written estimate: equipment model, AFUE rating, scope, permits, timeline, and warranty terms.
Decide with full information before any work is scheduled.
