As solar and renewables become more popular, we understand that some homeowners want to get off natural gas completely and switch to an electric furnace.
Electrical furnace installation costs can be higher than furnace replacement cost if you currently have a gas furnace. Converting a gas furnace to an electric furnace requires a new 220v circuit to be ran to the furnace location, which can be costly if your electrical panel is full or the location is difficult to access.
Due to Colorado’s extreme weather, we typically caution homeowners that converting a gas furnace to an electric furnace will increase their heating costs over the long term with no solar offset or other energy efficiency incentives.
We provide electric furnace installation services if you wanted to see if it’s a project you want to take on.
| Type of Furnace | Cost Range |
|---|---|
| Electric Furnace | $2,100 to $7,800 |
| 220v Circuit for Electic Furnace | $1,100 to $3,400 |

AFUE rating determines how efficient the furnace or heating system is in using gas. The typical furnace is 80% AFUE rated, meaning it uses 80% of the fuel it gets and 20% is wasted in heat loss.
A high efficiency furnace is any furnace with an AFUE rating above 90%. High efficiency units achieve this rating by recovering heat from the venting mechanism by switching from a metal flue/exhaust used in standard efficiency units to a PVC flue.
If you’re concerned with your gas bills in 2023, switching to a high efficiency gas furnace will typically cut 15-17% off your gas usage immediately after installation. High efficiency units can typically be retrofitted easily into existing ductwork and the PVC flue installation is doable for most properties and help save you money over the long run.
Xcel Rebates are also available for high efficiency furnaces.
Gas furnaces are the most common variety of heating system in Colorado and for good reason; Our sunny state’s cold and dry winters requires a system that can heat the property at a fast rate while staying reliable and affordable over time.

We install gas furnaces on a daily basis and are authorized installers of over 30 HVAC brands. If you’re looking for gas furnace installation, we’ll provide an affordable price with an unbeatable quality of work. That’s a guarantee.
