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.
What it costs
What decides where in the range you land
Sized by heat loss calculation, not by what was there before. An oversized furnace costs more and performs worse.
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.
Undersized, leaky or poorly balanced ducts limit what any new system can do. Sometimes worth addressing; we'll say if it is.
Usually fine for a like-for-like furnace replacement.
A tight attic or crawlspace furnace location costs more than a basement.
A dual-fuel system needs a compatible controller, which is included in our dual-fuel pricing.
