[TheSiege]

yeah i could use this info too.

We almost had to have our boiler replaced, and it was going to be $4000. A friend had his oil furnace replaced recently, and it was a similar price. Both houses in question are bigger than 900 sq ft though.

Edit: Not sure if that was with or without labor

Both of those are much more expensive than forced air furnaces. Depending on what you want, your looking at least $700-$1000 not including installation. Thats for the minimum in efficiency too, 80%. For 93%+ your looking at much more, but for one as small as the one you need, you might get one for close to that.

My old company would charge about $2800 to install a goodman. If you get a carrier or trane your just paying for the name. Whatever you do make sure you get a 90% effcient if your going with gas. Someone might offer to install an 80% for like $1800. 80% furnaces vent in metal piping but produce moisture. If you don't put a liner in the chimney it will cause your chimney to rot away. No company will put an 80% in with a liner for that kind of price. A 90% furnace will vent with PVC piping. Ask the company if there putting in an intake pipe. A one pipe exhaust system will take combustion air from your house. A two pipe intake and exhaust system will take the combustion air from the outside increasing gas effciency.

edit One more thing if they tell you there installing a plenum and return drop there ripping you off. You want someone that will hook it up to the exsisting return drop and transition the new furnace to the exsisting plenum. It won't be quite as pretty but it will save you about a $1000. Also most places will not do this but I have seen it done. Running the PVC exhaust pipe in to the chimney. This will cause the same problem as the 80% without a liner.

I paid < $400 for a 80% Goodman furnace for my house...I believe its a 70K BTU unit and my house is about 1200 sq feet..

I'll be installing a high efficiency boiler this year sometime and switching to hot water heat...

forced air heating FTL...

ok so the duct has to be ran also, the furnace will be located central to the house and there is already a vent for the water heater, can it use that same vent?
im hoping to keep it under 4k
i also forgot to mention that this is for the basement and the basement only.
there is already a furnace in the attic for the top floor. but no heating for the basement.....yet

They should only have to run supplies for just a basement. Rough estimate your looking at about another $300 for a plenum about another $300 per room for supply vents. Is this finished ceilings? I would have to see it to give a good estimate. Depending on difficulty you could be looking at $600 per vent

The oil furnace was forced air.

Sorry, didn't specify gas forced air. Out of curiosity, why did your friend buy an oil furnace?
