What a new furnace costs in Vancouver

A new high-efficiency gas furnace installed in Metro Vancouver typically costs $5,000–$9,000, including removal of the old unit, the permit and commissioning. A heat pump instead runs $12,000–$20,000 before rebates, and dual-fuel — a new furnace plus a heat pump — runs $14,000–$24,000.

These are market ranges for Metro Vancouver, not a quote. They’re here so you can plan and compare, and they’re reviewed quarterly.

These are market ranges for Metro Vancouver, not a quote. They’re here so you can plan and compare, and they’re reviewed quarterly. Big jobs genuinely vary — access, materials, what’s behind the wall, what’s above the pipe. We won’t quote one without seeing it, and neither should anyone else. Where we publish a fixed price, it’s fixed.
What moves the price

What decides where in the range you land

Capacity and efficiency

Sized by heat loss calculation, not by what was there before. An oversized furnace costs more and performs worse.

Venting

High-efficiency condensing units vent through a sidewall in PVC rather than up a chimney. If your existing venting can't be reused, that's real work.

Ductwork condition

Undersized, leaky or poorly balanced ducts limit what any new system can do. Sometimes worth addressing; we'll say if it is.

Gas line adequacy

Usually fine for a like-for-like furnace replacement.

Access

A tight attic or crawlspace furnace location costs more than a basement.

Thermostat and controls

A dual-fuel system needs a compatible controller, which is included in our dual-fuel pricing.

Questions

What people ask us

How much is a new furnace in Vancouver?

$5,000–$9,000 installed for a high-efficiency gas unit.

Do I need a permit?

Yes, plus a gas permit. Both are in our price.

Worth pricing. If the furnace is dying anyway, the gap is smaller than it looks.

15–20 years with annual servicing.

What size do I need?

Whatever the heat loss calculation says.
