How Much Does a Furnace Replacement Cost in Albuquerque?

What to Expect When Replacing Your Furnace in Albuquerque

If your furnace is 15–20 years old, making strange noises, or your heating bills keep climbing, it may be time for a replacement. One of the first questions homeowners ask is: how much will it cost? The answer depends on several factors specific to your home and the Albuquerque area.

Factors That Affect Furnace Replacement Cost

The price of a new furnace installation in Albuquerque typically depends on the size of your home, the type and efficiency of the unit, any ductwork modifications needed, and the complexity of the installation.

Furnace size (BTU output): A furnace that’s too small won’t keep up on cold January nights, while one that’s too large will short-cycle and waste energy.

Efficiency rating (AFUE): Standard furnaces run at 80% AFUE, while high-efficiency models hit 96–98% AFUE. Higher efficiency costs more upfront but saves significantly on natural gas bills.

Ductwork condition: If your existing ductwork needs repair or replacement, that adds to the project.

Brand and features: MGP Mechanical installs Carrier furnaces, known for reliability and quiet operation.
