Alberta winters show no sign of letting up, which means having a furnace you can depend on is all the more important for homeowners in the Calgary, Red Deer and Edmonton areas. Unfortunately the cost of living also shows no sign of letting up. And we understand the concern many homeowners feel about the costs associated with upgrading their home comfort systems.
That’s why we’ve created this newest blog. To help you better understand what to expect when it comes to current furnace pricing in Alberta, and what influences it. Helping you make more informed choices when it comes to home heating this winter and beyond.
Current Furnace Pricing In Alberta - Different Equipment Options
Natural Gas
Natural gas furnaces are the most common type of furnace used in Alberta homes because they offer cost-effective heating.
The cost for natural gas furnaces greatly depends on the size of your home, and the size of the furnace needed to effectively heat it. Higher efficiency gas models may also influence the cost of installation. But most natural gas furnaces start around $6000 and go up from there depending on their size and features.
To help offset this cost, Action Furnace offers flexible financing options. So installation of a natural gas furnace can start as low as $39/bi-weekly.
Electric
We don't carry electric furnaces, but we find it valuable to let people know what is available on the market. These furnaces use electricity as their primary power source, allowing you to avoid fuel costs and produce fewer emissions, potentially saving you money over the long-term due to increased efficiency.
Propane
While we don't specialize in propane furnaces, this equipment option can be ideal for rural or more secluded properties in Alberta that may not be situated by reliable natural gas or electricity lines.
These furnaces will once again vary depending on their size, features and complexity of installation.
Other Cost Considerations
In addition to just the type of furnace, here are some other considerations your Home Comfort advisor will explore to help get you the best equipment options for your needs and your budget.
Efficiency Level
The higher the efficiency, the higher the upfront cost. But don’t worry, the monthly costs will go down, which we love to see, because the higher efficiency lets you save on energy usage.
Sizing
Bigger furnaces for bigger homes will also carry a bigger price tag.
Financing Options
Action Furnace makes it easy to keep your home warm throughout the winter with our flexible financing options, including 0% financing for 12 months on select heating systems.
