Gas Furnace Replacement FAQ
For homeowners in Howell, Brighton, Pinckney, Whitmore Lake, Hartland, and Hamburg Township,
the cost of a professionally installed gas furnace typically ranges from $3,900–$9,500+.
The final price depends on the furnace efficiency (AFUE rating), gas valve type (single-stage, two-stage, or modulating),
blower technology, duct conditions, and installation requirements.
AFUE = Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency. It measures how much fuel actually turns into usable heat for your home.
An 80 AFUE furnace delivers 80¢ of heat for every dollar of fuel, while a 96 AFUE furnace delivers 96¢.
The most advanced furnaces today reach 97–99% AFUE, meaning almost every penny you spend becomes usable heat.
In Michigan’s long winters, AFUE plays a big role in your monthly gas bill.
A single-stage furnace has a single-stage gas valve. The flame is either fully on or fully off.
This creates frequent cycling — running at full blast, shutting off, then reheating.
That stop-and-go operation wastes more energy and creates uneven comfort.
Single-stage furnaces are the least expensive option upfront, but they’re also the least efficient over time.
A two-stage furnace uses a two-stage gas valve. It runs at a lower flame for mild weather and shifts to a higher flame during very cold days.
This reduces cycling, saves fuel, and keeps comfort steadier throughout your home.
Two-stage models cost more upfront than single-stage units but usually pay for themselves with quieter performance and lower monthly bills — a good fit for Brighton and Howell homeowners.
A modulating furnace uses a modulating gas valve with a variable-speed blower.
Instead of just one or two flame settings, it adjusts in tiny increments — often from 35% up to 100% of output.
A computer board balances gas flow and blower speed in real time, delivering exactly the heat your home needs.
Modulating furnaces provide the quietest operation, the most even comfort, and the highest efficiency available — typically 97–99% AFUE.
While they carry the highest upfront cost, homeowners in Livingston County who choose modulating models enjoy the lowest operating costs and best long-term comfort.
