How Much Should a Furnace Cost in Melbourne?

September 24, 2016

Nobody looks forward to the day that they have to replace their furnace. Unfortunately, it’s part of life, and Melbourne homeownership, and so is budgeting for a new furnace. So when that awful day finds you, where do you start?

The price of a new furnace will fluctuate depending on several factors, such as the lifestyle and customs of people in the home. Health problems may also mean you need air filtration systems, which also helps you decide which furnace is ideal for your family. Even hobbies can factor into which furnace is right for you. Does someone collect art or are you a wine connoisseur? Humidity levels can affect the integrity of these items so you may think about purchasing a whole-home humidifier in your HVAC system.

Something else to take a look at is the home’s design. What is the window count in the home and which direction do the windows face? What sort of insulation do you current have and how well does it trap air in your home? How new the ductwork is, the preferred power (gas, solar, etc.), and even home layout can go into deciding which furnace is right for your home.

 

Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning will set-up a no-charge consultation where they will visit your home and analyze your current set-up. The team will review your options with you and present you a no-charge estimate on a new furnace installation based on their review of your home’s structure and unique features.

The next thing that will determine the price of your furnace is which company you select to install your system. One business may have the system you want at a lower cost, but proceed with caution and make sure that they are licensed, bonded, and insured given something should occur while they’re on your site. You can actually be held liable if a contractor were to get injured on your property if they are not insured.

All of these pieces go into influencing how much a new heating and cooling system will cost, but let’s get down to what you came for. We’ve provided a few estimates on how much you can expect to pay depending on the sort of home you live in.
