How a furnace replacement visit works
In-Home Assessment
A technician inspects your current furnace, ductwork, and venting, then measures the home to determine proper sizing.
Equipment Selection
You choose between efficiency tiers and fuel types based on your budget, home layout, and whether you're on natural gas or electric service.
Old Furnace Removal
The existing unit is disconnected and removed, with gas or electrical lines safely capped or prepped for the new system.
New Furnace Installation
The new furnace is set, connected to ductwork and utilities, and the thermostat is wired and configured.
Testing and Walkthrough
The system runs through a full heating cycle test, and the technician walks you through operation, filters, and maintenance basics.
Why quotes range from $4,800 to $9,800
These factors decide where your job lands in the range — and we walk you through each one on the written quote.
- Home size and duct condition, since many houses built before 1990 in this region need duct modifications during replacement
- Efficiency rating selected, such as an 80% AFUE unit versus a 96% AFUE high-efficiency model
- Fuel type, including natural gas furnaces on PSE lines versus electric furnace installs common in Snohomish PUD service areas
- Attic or crawlspace access, which can add labor time in older Seattle-area homes with tight mechanical rooms

Furnace Replacement questions we hear most
How long does a furnace replacement take?
Most residential furnace replacements are completed in a single workday, roughly 4 to 8 hours depending on ductwork changes or venting adjustments needed for the new unit.
Do you install both gas and electric furnaces?
Yes. SPS Pro Services installs natural gas furnaces for homes on PSE gas lines and electric furnaces for homes served by Snohomish PUD or PSE electric, matching the system to your existing utility setup.
What size furnace do I actually need?
Correct sizing comes from a load calculation, not just square footage. Insulation levels, window count, ceiling height, and duct layout all factor in, which is why we assess the home in person before recommending equipment.
Is there a warranty on the installation labor?
Yes, installation labor is covered by a 1-year workmanship warranty. Equipment components are covered separately under the manufacturer's warranty, which typically ranges from 10 to 12 years depending on the unit.
